Peace is one way God leads us. Do you have peace about this plan?
September 2022 Pam Padgett was diagnosed with bladder cancer. It was advanced stage. The doctor said they must treat it with chemotherapy followed by surgical removal of her bladder. That doctor said Pam would be dead in a year or two without treatment.
Pam began talking with God about this. Pam said, "I don't mind chemotharapy but please, if I can be spared bladder removal, please show me." (Pam had no peace about bladder removal.)
They began the chemo treatments, planning to remove the bladder after the series of chemo.
A pharmacist gave Pam some written information from the cancer society which said: Chemotherapy with radiation may produce the same benefits as chemotherapy with bladder removal. Pam submitted this proposal to her medical team of 5. None of them thought it would work in Pam's case.
Finally one doctor said to Pam: "Are you a Christian?" (He said he was too.) Pam said she was a Christian and felt this radiation plan was sent to her by God in answer to prayer. He said he would change the type of chemo to fit radiation treatments. They continued with radiatiation/chemo treatments. She finished a month or so later.
She was told to return in April 2023 for follow-up tests. The tests showed the cancer was gone. Subsequent tests showed no sign of cancer.

Some people try to explain away problems with a type of positive thinking ... but often they a living a type of "presumption" rather than living by faith in God.
Exekiel 13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
There are people which say peace but that word was from their own thinking and not from God.
During the 1970's, Golda Meir, Prime Minister of Israel, knew there would be war with another nation. She knew they must prepare for war. One person said there would no be war. At 4 am, that other nation attacked Israel.
If God tells you there will not be war, there will not be war. But we must hear from God, the truth, and prepare as led by God.
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

During the Covid epidemic of 2020, on TV news I saw many examples of people who attended churches saying "God would never let them get Covid." Some of these people got Covid and even died!
If God says you won't get this, you won't get it. But some church people have faith in their faith rather than hearing a word from God concerning that which will happen.
