There’s one particular Bible verse that has spoken to me very clearly during the difficult times in my life and I’d like to share it with my readers because the verse offers us great hope.  It’s Jeremiah 29:11, and I’ve relied on that verse during the most trying times of my life such as my first cancer, my divorce, and then again when I faced cancer the second time.

This is an excerpt from that verse:        

“For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.  You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity."

I’ve come to realize that I am where I am supposed to be and I have been delivered from the grief of my past. 

I get many letters from cancer patients, families, and friends who ask that we keep them in our prayers.  I believe in the power of prayer, and I am starting a prayer chain because of the touching letters that I receive.

If you would like to be part of this prayer chain, please contact me at prayersinpink@yahoo.com

Please, also feel free to send any prayer requests that you have and I’ll gladly send your requests to our prayer network.

Happy Spring Days to All of You,

Mary Pat
