• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Love you too Steve (((hug)))

THis is the prayer of Jabez, with a rainbow. I thought it appropriate, as rainbows are a symbol of God's immutable promises, that do NOT change. And it's also a BEAUTIFUL, prophetical reminder that God granted Jabez what he requested, just like that. It's not a well known story or studied often, but it's one of the most beautifully redemptive testimonies to how our God can turn the tables so surely on what appears unchangeable. Here's the verses about Jabez's prayer in the version that i dearly love. This one:

"But Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him in sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, If thou wilt bless me in deed, and enlarge my coasts, and if thine hand be upon me, and thou wilt cause me to be delivered from evil, that I be not hurt. And God granted the thing that he asked." ~I Chronicles 4:9-10

High Flight

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of; wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air;
Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark nor even eagle flew;
And while, with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity of space
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
Fl. Officer John Gillespie McGee
1922-1941​

Hi Steve,
I was wondering how things are going, are you still in treatment? I'm sorry if this has been answered, I tried to go back and read.

I have nasopharyngeal carcinoma (diagnosed Nov 2010). My treatment would probably have been somewhat like yours. I hope that you are doing well and I will add you to my prayers.
God Bless

Steve, i was just listening to this video and meditating on the verses in it, when this one just loomed out at me...so i looked, and found it in a scripture picture which embodies the verse so well:

praying for you (((hug)))

Sorry to hear that, hope that you are doing well too. :hug:

I see my oncologist the end of this month, this cancer has returned from the first go around of surgery and aggressive chemo; this time two years later since the cancer went into remission, it came back, this go around it was 28 radiation treatments, and 5 weeks of weekly doses of chemo.

Bless you;
Steve
