We lift up our brother/sister before the Lord, knowing that nothing is impossible for our God, who is the Great Physician and the Author of life. The battle against stage 4 colon cancer is fierce, but we serve a God who is mightier than any disease, and His power is made perfect in our weakness. We stand firmly on the promise that He hears our prayers and acts according to His perfect will.
The Scriptures remind us in James 5:14-15, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."* We claim this promise today, believing that God is able to heal, restore, and bring comfort beyond measure. We also remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:26, *"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."*
Yet, we also acknowledge that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. Whether He chooses to heal here on earth or call our beloved home to be with Him, we trust in His sovereignty and goodness. Our prayer is that through this trial, His name will be glorified, and that strength, peace, and faith will abound in the hearts of all who love and support ***.
We rebuke the spirit of sickness and infirmity in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Cancer is not from God—it is a result of the fallen world we live in—but our God is greater. We declare that every cell in ***’s body aligns with God’s perfect design, and that the chemotherapy will be effective without harmful side effects. We pray for supernatural healing, for the cancer to be completely eradicated, and for restoration of health and vitality. May the Lord renew ***’s strength like the eagle’s, as Isaiah 40:31 promises: *"But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."*
We also pray for the medical team attending to ***, that God would grant them wisdom, skill, and discernment. May they be instruments of healing in His hands. Lord, surround *** with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Comfort them in moments of pain or fear, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. Strengthen their faith, and may they be a testimony of Your grace and power to all who know them.
For the family and loved ones walking this journey with ***, we ask for Your comfort and unity. May they be a source of encouragement and hope, and may their faith not waver. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Fill them with Your peace and the assurance that You are in control.
Finally, we pray that if there is any area of ***’s life that is not aligned with Your will—any unconfessed sin, bitterness, or unforgiveness—You would bring conviction and lead them to repentance. Father, we ask that *** would draw closer to You through this trial, that their relationship with You would deepen, and that they would experience the fullness of Your love and mercy.
Heavenly Father, we commit *** into Your hands, trusting that You hold their life and their future. We ask all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who conquered sin and death and holds the keys to life itself. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified through this situation. Amen.
To those praying for ***: Stand firm in faith, and do not grow weary in praying. The prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective (James 5:16). Continue to lift them up, speak life over them, and trust that God is working even when we cannot see it. Let this trial be an opportunity to witness God’s faithfulness and to grow in dependence on Him. He is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
