Deanna Favre: Inspirational Story on Good Morning America

When I watched the morning news today (Oct. 21, 2010), I was really blessed to see a good representative for Christ, breast cancer survivor, Deanna Favre. Deanna is the wife of NFL quarterback, Brett Favre. She was on Good Morning America to promote a book she co-wrote with a pastor called, The Cure for the Chronic Life: Overcoming the Hopelessness That Holds You Back.

When asked how she copes with difficulties in her life, including recent allegations about her husband’s misconduct, Deanna replied that she keeps a passage of Scripture on her fridge, Isaiah 41:10-13

Isaiah 41:10-13 (New International Version)

 ¹⁰ So do not fear, for I am with you;
       do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
       I will strengthen you and help you;
       I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

 ¹¹ "All who rage against you
       will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
       those who oppose you
       will be as nothing and perish.

 ¹² Though you search for your enemies,
       you will not find them.
       Those who wage war against you
       will be as nothing at all.

 ¹³ For I am the LORD, your God,
       who takes hold of your right hand
       and says to you, Do not fear;
       I will help you.
