To seek God’s help, mercy, strength, wisdom, peace, protection, provision, and healing during a health crisis, while trusting Him through medical treatment, uncertainty, recovery, and difficult decisions.

Bible Exhortation

A health crisis can affect the body, mind, emotions, family, finances, plans, and spiritual life. Scripture invites us to bring our burdens before God and trust Him as our refuge and strength.

God can give courage in frightening circumstances, peace in uncertainty, wisdom when decisions are difficult, and strength when human strength is exhausted. A health crisis does not erase a person’s dignity, purpose, or value.
