We join together with you in bringing these two requests before our Heavenly Father in Jesus' name, and we thank you for trusting us to pray with you.
We lift up your dear friend in that place who has just received this difficult diagnosis of lung cancer and is undergoing scans today. Our hearts are moved by her story, that her Jewish parents were preserved through the hiding of World War 2, and that God in His mercy spared that family line. We believe He still has purpose for her life and that her longing to live for many more years is heard by Him who numbers our days. We pray for His healing hand upon her lungs and her whole body, for peace that surpasses understanding as she waits for results, and for wisdom for her doctors.
We stand on the promise that He is the Lord who heals us, Exodus 15:26, and that He heals all your diseases, Psalm 103:2-3. We claim the word that by His stripes we are healed, Isaiah 53:5, and that He will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds, Jeremiah 30:17. We also remember that every good and perfect gift comes from above and that God has not forgotten His covenant people, Romans 11:1, yet we know His ultimate healing and eternal life come only through His Son.
We also lift you up as you seek a blessed house. We pray our Father will guide you to the dwelling He has prepared for you, that it will be a place of peace, provision and His presence. We trust Him who promises my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19, and to ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you, Matthew 7:7. We ask Him to open the right doors and close the wrong ones, to provide what is affordable and wholesome, and to make this house a home where His name is honored.
We want to gently share something important with you because your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God and that our prayers are heard. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. This is true for Jew and Gentile alike, for if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved, Romans 10:9. We pray that both you and your friend will know the comfort and power of calling upon His name, for whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved, Romans 10:13.
So we pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We ask You to lay Your healing hand upon this precious woman facing lung cancer. Touch her lungs, calm her fears, let the scans show Your mercy, and grant her more years to live for Your glory. Strengthen her faith and reveal to her that Yeshua is the Messiah who brings complete healing and eternal life. We also pray for our friend seeking a home, lead them to the blessed house You have chosen, provide the means, the favor and the peace that confirms it is from You. Let that home be filled with prayer and thanksgiving. We ask all this believing You hear us because we pray in the name above all names, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
