No matter how far along in our cancer journey we are, fear, worry and anxiety hang around like ever present shadows clouding over what little sunshine hits our faces.
We fear the unknown, the pain of surgery and recuperation, and the terrifying prospect of recurrence.
We worry about leaving our kids behind, we fear for their futures as we worry about our own and we fear time might just be running out. Fear tightens its grip with every ache, pain and scan. So what are we meant to do? How do we fight the fear?
Join me on Chemo Chair Prayers as we
- Learn how to stop our fear-wheels spinning
- Reimagine our fear not as a negative emotion to be avioded at all costs but as merely an emotional sign post in our journey.
- Discover a roadmap for turning our fear into a faith-filled next step.
Together we pray through our TRUST guided prayer format and I invite you to take the spiritual exercise of breathing in Jesus and breathing out the fear, overwhelm, or loneliness, into the week ahead.

Niki, these first two chemo chair prayers have blown me away! Thank you for sharing them. It’s as if you know my thoughts and emotions, and feels like you are writing just to me. I am looking forward to reading the next one and the next one, because they have been so encouraging and inspiring!
I’m so glad. That makes me really happy!

You can listen along and take time to pray we me as we prayer through our TRUST prayer format. We don’t do in these posts so you’re missing the actual prayer time.
It’s wonderful to take time to pray together.

Niki, it’s like you crawled inside my whirling brain when you created this episode! Boy, did I need to hear it…so much so that I listened to it twice. Thanks for the beautiful reminder to be an open book with God, to tell Him all our fears and worries. He knows it all anyway, but boy does it feel good to unburden my heart to Him. After seven years in remission, the unthinkable happened this past May when I was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer with lesions on my liver and bones. I’ll have my fourth PET scan on Wednesday and am concerned as my last blood work showed the tumor marker was rising instead of continuing its rapid descent over the last six months. The fear is ever so real, but I keep taking it and handing it back over to God.
Thanks so much for the encouragement you continue to bring me through both the Trusting God Through Cancer summit and the Chemo Chair Prayers!
Debbie I’m so so glad it was helpful and practical for you. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this again. I’ll be praying for you. xxx
