Faith.
What is it?
Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].
Faith has an object; otherwise, it's just wishful thinking.
The object of my faith is Jesus Christ and His work on the cross for me.
Faith is not probabilities with statistics as its object, e.g. This probably won't happen...
Short term, my faith is that God will be with me, giving me courage and strength to face whatever may come. Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia and remission both have their challenges.
Eternally, my faith is in the work of Jesus, His death and resurrection, His sacrifice that makes me right with God.
If the Lord wills, June 9 will be the beginning of 10 months of remission. Today, I endeavor to live in the present for the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. Lam 3:22-23
