Cancer Inspiration - "When Answers Aren't Enough"

When Answers Aren't Enough
You have faced the mountains of desperation
You have climbed, you have fought, you have won
But this valley that lies coldly before you
Casts a shadow you cannot overcome

And just when you thought you had it all together
You knew every verse to get you through
But this time the sorrow broke more than just your heart
And reciting all those verses just won't do

When answers aren't enough, there is Jesus
He is more than just an answer to your prayer
And your heart will find a safe and peaceful refuge
When answers aren't enough, He is there.

Instead of asking why did it happen
Think of where it can lead you from here
And as your pain is slowly easing, you can find a greater reason
To live your life triumphant through the tears

When answers aren't enough, there's still Jesus
He is more than just an answer to your prayer
And your heart will find a safe and peaceful refuge
When answers aren't enough, He is there.

We just got an email from a very dear friend saying he had cancer. We tried to call but no answer. I wrote him an email and included your verse. I know it will be meaningful to him. Thanks for sharing. Marnice

This was posted on the wall at the Providence Infusion Center, where I would go every week to get my blood drawn. Of all the encouragement and kind words everyone sent me, this one really stayed with me. There's so much truth in it. Christ really is our ONLY hope, ever. I wish more people accepted that. Share it as often as you like!! Love, Tiff
