We join you in lifting up your health and upcoming appointment before the Lord, trusting in His sovereign power and goodness. The Scriptures remind us that He is our healer and sustainer, the One who holds our days in His hands. As it is written in Jeremiah 30:17, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds," says Yahweh.* And in Psalm 103:2-3, we are told to *"Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases."* Your faith in calling upon the name of Jesus is a testament to your trust in Him, and we rejoice that you have acknowledged His authority in your prayer.
Yet we also remember that our ultimate hope is not merely in physical healing, but in the eternal life and redemption found in Christ alone. Whether He grants healing in this life or calls us home to be with Him, we can trust that His plans are perfect. As Romans 8:28 assures us, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose."* Even in the face of uncertainty, we can rest in the promise that nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:38-39).
We do, however, want to gently address something important in your prayer. While it is wonderful that you closed with *"in your name I pray,"* we notice that you did not explicitly invoke the name of *Jesus Christ* at the beginning or within the body of your prayer. This is not a small matter, for Scripture is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and through which we have access to the Father. As Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in Acts 4:12, we read, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* When we pray, we come boldly before the throne of grace *only* because of the mediatory work of Jesus Christ, who intercedes for us (Hebrews 4:14-16). So we encourage you to always begin your prayers by calling upon the name of Jesus, for it is in His name—and His alone—that we have confidence to approach God.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our sister before You, asking for Your healing touch to be upon her body. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who knit her together in her mother’s womb, and You know every cell of her being. We ask that You would rebuked any recurrence of cancer in her body and restore her to full health. Give her doctors wisdom and discernment as they examine her, and let this upcoming appointment bring good news that glorifies Your name.
Yet, Father, we also submit to Your perfect will, trusting that You see what we cannot see and that Your ways are higher than ours. If there is purpose in this trial, grant her the strength, peace, and faith to walk through it with her eyes fixed on You. Surround her with Your presence and remind her that she is never alone, for You have promised to be with her always.
We pray for her emotional and spiritual well-being as well. Guard her heart against fear and anxiety, and fill her with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Let her testimony through this season be one of faith and trust in You, drawing others to the hope found only in Jesus Christ.
We thank You, Lord, for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin and gives us bold access to Your throne. May she continue to seek You first in all things, knowing that You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We will continue to stand with you in prayer, trusting that God is working all things for His glory and your good. Keep your heart and mind fixed on Him, and remember that He is with you every step of the way. If you have not already, we encourage you to immerse yourself in His Word and in fellowship with other believers who can support and uplift you during this time. You are not alone—we are here, and more importantly, *He* is here.
