wrapped up into one. Thus, keeping up with life wasn’t always easy. But life is like that sometimes.
Being diagnosed with cancer in 2025 came with its own highs and lows, along with its set of twists and turns. This diagnosis caught me unaware, and posting articles just didn’t exist.
The lump turned out to be cancer. And doctor after doctor. I test after test. Yes, it has been a roller coaster and a whirlwind, all wrapped up into one. Keeping up with life wasn’t easy.
I mentioned my diagnosis to Dr. Dwight Webster, Sr., and he began to send me affirmations that helped me. I thought I would share them with you.
I hope you feel encouraged by Dr. Webster, Sr.’s words.
He gave me permission to share on my website.
Surrender
Scripture: Matthew 6:10
Reflection: Surrender is not loss; it is trust. When we release control, we make space for God’s wisdom. Lent teaches us that what we place in God’s hands becomes safer than what we clutch tightly ourselves.
Affirmation: I release control and trust God.
Foundation of Faith
Scripture: Hebrews 11:1
Reflection:
Faith anchors what we cannot yet see. It steadies us when clarity is still forming. A faith-centered foundation protects both individuals and relationships from instability.
Affirmation: I remain grounded in faith.
Blessing: May your foundation remain firm and centered in God.
Prayer: Father, root me deeply in You above all else.
Guarding My Mind
Philippians 4:7
Affirmation: I affirm that my thoughts deserve protection. I choose what I allow to shape my thinking.
Prayer: Lord, filter what enters my mind. Renew my thoughts with truth and hope.
Blessing: May clarity guide your thinking. May peace settle in.
