To think, a total strangers or friend who heard about David&#8217;s colon cancer, stopped and prayed and then let us know.<\/p>\n<p>Whether for healing or strength or peace, I felt those prayers. Everyday, messages came and everyday I knew I would be given just what I needed for that 24 hours.\u00a0Paul had a similar story of suffering and comforting:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;But God, who comforts the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he comforted&#8230; because he* reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; -Paul.\u00a02 Corinthians 7:6\u20137<\/p>\n<p>Someone caring. Someone longing. Someone mourning, for you in your situation. It brings a sort of relief, and an actual rejoicing. You are not alone. Others walk with you, even for a moment. They bear a little of your burden.<\/p>\n<p>God did not create Adam and leave him alone, He gave him a <em>helpmate<\/em> &#8211; Eve.
