Sickness in my own body
A diagnosis, pain, a waiting result
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.
Psalm 103:2-3 · King James Version
Father, I am in a body that is failing me, and I am frightened. I come to the One who made this body and knows every cell of it by name.

Declarations
Say these out loud. Not to convince God — to remind yourself what is true when your feelings are arguing.
- The One who formed this body is the One I am asking.
- I am not at the mercy of a statistic.
- God's grace is sufficient for today, whatever today holds.
- I shall live and declare the works of the Lord.
And Lord, whatever the result says — hold me. I would rather be held by You in bad news than alone in good.
