Hi, I'm Ronald Cox II and I've been recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease. It's a life long chronic disease that effects your colon and small intestine. Although not often fatal it is a rather difficult disease to live with. A small mass was also found in my liver but ruled out to just be fatty liver tissue, which in time, heals itself on its own. Here recently I've been producing a lot of bile and have pain under my rib cage on the right side which indicates a problem with either my liver or my gall bladder. I pray night and day that I do not have cancer and live in fear eventhough I try hard not to.
My marriage has also been facing a rocky situation and my wife lost sight of the path to righteousness through our recent difficult times. Here recently I've helped her back on that path and things seem to be looking up. I know that I should place my worries and fears in the Lord and keep only faith and hope prominent in my life. As a human, I find this hard to do. I still continue to worry, eventhough God says I shouldn't, and it's taken it's toll on me.
The most positive thing that has come out of all of this is that I found my way back to Christ whereas before I had lost my way. Since I heard the news I have dedicated each waking moment to God and pray that he leads me to do his work here on earth. It is faith like I've never felt before. I've repented my sins and asked Jesus into my heart, accepting Him as my saviour.
I humbly ask that you pray for me in this time of need, for my illness, marriage and my wife and I thank each and every one of you. If anyone has biblical references on how to deal with fear and sickness please post them as I'm sure they will help.
God bless,
Ron
