Pray for John Piper
If you haven’t already heard, John Piper has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
His response to the diagnosis in his letter is such an encouragement to anyone going through a trial:
This news has, of course, been good for me. The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness. The news of cancer has a wonderfully blasting effect on both. I thank God for that. The times with Christ in these days have been unusually sweet.
Before you click to another page, please pray for John right now:
All things considered, Noël and I believe that I should pursue the treatment called radical prostatectomy, which means the surgical removal of the prostate. We would ask you to pray that the surgery be completely successful in the removal of all cancer and freedom from possible side effects.

John, thank you for your part in helping me desire God, even when I don’t want to. God bless, and I pray for a rapid recovery.
