My best friend is fighting pancreatic cancer and I decided to put together a few pages of Scriptures that he and anyone with him could read as a prayer to the Lord. I printed it out on two sheets both sides and laminated it to keep it from damage. I enclose it here for your use and to aid you in trusting God in difficult times. Here is a link to download a PDF for printing. This link is for the MP4 of my reading of the Scriptures.
