On Hope

My grandmother began cancer treating chemotherapy this week. Please remember her in your prayers. We earnestly pray for both healing and peace; such an experience is difficult for all of us, but particularly for my extended family to bear...where there is little hope in life there is much fear in death. They will forgive me for making a public request, but out of love, I ask that you pray for their salvation.

"I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day."

John 6:35-40
