09-22-2025 PART 2: Guarding the Heart and Trusting the Lord

Section 1

Rosalyn shared with David about her health challenges, specifically an unusual tumor that requires further testing through a PET scan in Houston. Doctors are unsure whether to treat it as a metastasizing type requiring chemotherapy or as a localized tumor for surgical removal. Alongside this, she has also faced the burden of caring for her mother, who was placed in a respite facility due to uncertainty with her brother’s involvement. This situation left Rosalyn deeply distressed and wrestling with frustration, especially toward her brother, while preparing for her own medical journey.

Section 2

In the midst of this struggle, Rosalyn experienced a spiritual breakthrough. At church, she heard a sermon on Proverbs 4:23—“guard your heart above all else”—which directly addressed her fear of bitterness taking root. The pastor’s phrase “hurt hangovers” struck her, reminding her to let go of past wrongs. At the altar, she prayed, asking God to take away her inability to release these burdens. Remembering David’s own testimony of surrender, she sought God’s help, and He responded with peace and clarity. God gently showed her that while she trusted Him fully with her cancer, she was not trusting Him with her mother’s care, a revelation that instantly lifted her burden.

Section 3

David affirmed her testimony as a powerful encouragement, highlighting how God speaks with kindness and correction tailored to each person’s heart. They prayed together for Rosalyn, Robert, and Angelina—for strength, safe travel to Houston, healing, and steadfast faith. Rosalyn left the conversation uplifted, celebrating not only God’s assurance regarding her health and family but also the reminder of His faithfulness in even small details, like fixing a household problem. Her story became a testimony of trust, surrender, and the peace that comes from truly casting all cares on the Lord.
