"When you're dealing with serious illness, you may need to have your head talk to your heart once in a while. That's because our feelings can get distorted and may not reflect reality. The way you feel about life- or even God- may not match the truth about God's feelings and care for you. Are you convinced that neither chemo or radiation, neither scans nor surgery, neither disappointments nor bad news, neither predictions nor seemingly unanswered prayers, nor anything else in the world of illness will be able to separate you from the love of God that is yours in Christ Jesus? Don't let your 'fears for today' or your 'worries about tomorrow' rob you of the absolute certainty that the God of the universe loves you and that nothing, absolutely nothing, can diminish that love for you. Whether your heart feels it or not, your head has a message for you: No matter what happens or doesn't happen in your life today, nothing can keep your Heavenly Father from loving you."

Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love
31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[
b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
