Have you ever asked God “why” during a difficult season?

Merlinda Ramos did.

In 2020, she received the devastating news that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She needed surgery and chemotherapy—all during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fear and uncertainty overwhelmed her.

“How bad is it, Lord?” she prayed, unsure if the cancer had spread.

In that moment of fear, she came across The Answer, a special program by CBN Asia. Through the healing prayers on the show, she felt God’s comfort and surrendered her life to Him.

“I believe God is powerful, and nothing is impossible with Him,“ she declared.

As she continued watching, she saw how CBN Asia, through its humanitarian arm, Operation Blessing Foundation Philippines, was helping those in need—by providing a water pump for a community. Touched by this, she felt led to give and become a faithful supporter.

“I want what I give to reach others too,” she said.

But the battle wasn’t over. When she noticed a discharge from her breast, worry crept in.

As she waited for her mammogram results, she turned to the Lord again. She reached out to the CBN Asia Prayer Center to help her pray. The Lord also gave her a strong support system—people who encouraged her, prayed for her, and even helped financially.

God answered her prayers. Two years later, she was finally cancer-free! Through it all, she never felt alone because of God and the people around her.

Today, Merlinda serves as a Christian educator, dedicating her life to God’s work. She continues to give to CBN Asia, believing that God can use her to bless others.

Truly, nothing is impossible with God. He brings breakthroughs in His perfect time.
