"Deliverance from Disease In the winter and spring I suffered much with heart disease. It was difficult for me to breathe while lying down, and I could not sleep unless raised in nearly a sitting posture. I had upon my left eyelid a swelling which appeared to be a cancer. It had been gradually increasing for more than a year, until it had become quite painful, and affected my sight. LS 151"
"Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;"
Both passages deal with healing from disease, although the Psalm is a general statement of God's power while the EGW passage is a personal account.
"disease of the heart.” This did not startle me, for I had been aware that without speedy relief I must go down to the grave. Two other women who had come for counsel were suffering with the same disease. The physician said that I was in a more dangerous condition than either of them, and it could not be more than three weeks before I would be afflicted with paralysis. LS 151.2"
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
Both passages touch on facing death. EGW describes her awareness of impending death, while Psalm 23:4 speaks of walking through the valley of the shadow of death. The connection lies in the shared theme of confronting mortality.
