Emphasis Preaching Journal

I remember visiting in the hospital a woman in her 40s, a member of my parish, who had cancer. I visited with her on two or three occasions, and during that time we spoke of her fears and faith. One day after entering into her hospital room, the first thing she said to me was, "Pastor, how can I get a stronger faith?" In speaking with her that day I learned the reason for her question. This woman was angry with God, with her illness and with herself.
