Bible verses about cancer
Don’t waste your cancer! Don’t allow it to break you! Don’t allow it to lead you into despair! Many godly people ask what did I do God? Always remember what Scripture says, many are the afflictions of the righteous.

You can waste your cancer by not seeing the beauty of it. You can waste it by not using it to get closer to Christ. You can waste it by not being an inspiration and testimony to others.
You can also waste it by not having a new affection for God’s Word. Whether it’s lung, colorectal, prostate, liver, leukemia, skin, ovarian, breast cancer, etc.
You can defeat it in Christ. Have faith in the Lord my fellow Christians because He always has a plan and all things work together for good. Trials only make you stronger.

The depth of God’s love for you.
1. Romans 8:37-39 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
