Words of comfort from the bible...?
My son was diagnosed with cancer at 11 months (High risk pre-cursor B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) and I am searching the bible for words of comfort but am finding few (it's a huge book, it will take a while to find a bunch). I am thinking of writing a verse on the calendar every day so I can turn to it when in need. Anyone have some words of strength and encouragement off the tops of their heads? The road is bumpy ahead and it will only get bumpier, he's at an intensification phase in his chemo and I'm scared out of my witts.

Psalms 91
God bless you and your son
- Jonathan
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. - Psalm 121
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. - Philippians 4:8.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18.
Psalm 73
- jaantoo1
Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psa 71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Psa 119:50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
Psa 119:76 Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
Psa 119:82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Hon, I will keep you and he in my prayers. Drop me a line if you need someone to talk to.

Oh. man.
I know what cancer is like, because it killed my mom.
How about this:
Romans 8:35-39 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."[a] 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am not a Christian so I cannot help you with the verses... My heart goes out to you. As the mother of 18 month old twins, I can't imagine how you are coping. My prayers are with you and your son.
