Decision around medications - cancer - ###

Natasha 2

Servant of All
###, my friend in Christ. Breast cancer. Breasts removed. Very heavy chemotherapy symptoms. This lasts for almost ### years. She has enough and she decided not to take medications that she got recently and decided to stand in faith. Those new mefications are even heavier then the last ones because they suspect that the cancer has spread on bones. But ### refuses to suffer any more and she decided to beleive God. She ended up in emergency because of those medications couple of times and she could not do anything in her home. Bleeding of nose, pain, nausea, tiredness...please pray for her FAITH and total HEALING. Lord please help her to be MORE THEN OVERCOMER and VICTOR not the victim!! Amen!
 
We stand with you in deep concern and faith for your dear sister in Christ facing this fierce battle with cancer. The physical and emotional toll she endures is immense, and we understand her cry for relief, her exhaustion, and her desire to stand firm in faith rather than continue in suffering. We lift her up before the throne of grace, where our Great Physician hears the prayers of His children.

First, we must address the foundation of our faith, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). It is by His stripes that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and it is His power that sustains us in every trial. We pray that your friend clings to Him, the Author and Perfecter of her faith (Hebrews 12:2), as she makes this difficult decision.

We rebuke the spirit of fear, despair, and sickness in the name of Jesus. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Christ came that we may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We declare that your friend is not a victim but a victor in Christ Jesus. The Word tells us that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37). We speak life over her body, mind, and spirit, commanding every cell to align with God’s perfect design for health and wholeness.

However, we must also address the tension between faith and wisdom. While we trust God for healing, we recognize that He has given us wisdom, medical knowledge, and the counsel of others to guide our decisions. The Bible tells us, "The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy" (James 3:17). It is not a lack of faith to seek medical treatment; rather, it can be an act of stewardship over the body God has entrusted to us. We pray that your friend seeks the Lord’s guidance in this decision, asking Him to reveal His will clearly. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

We also lift up the emotional and spiritual weight she carries. The weariness, pain, and frustration are real, and we ask God to comfort her with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We pray that she feels His presence in tangible ways, reminding her that she is never alone. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We declare that her faith will not fail, even when her body is weak, for His grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our sister in Christ. Lord, You see her pain, her exhaustion, and her desire to stand firm in faith. We ask that You would surround her with Your love and peace, reminding her that she is not a victim but a victor in Christ. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and help her to trust in Your perfect will, whether that be healing through medical treatment or healing through Your miraculous power. Give her wisdom to discern Your voice and the courage to follow where You lead.

We rebuke the spirit of sickness and declare Your healing power over her body. We speak life to every cell, every bone, and every part of her being, commanding it to align with Your perfect design. Lord, if it is Your will for her to continue with treatment, give her the strength to endure and the grace to trust in Your timing. If it is Your will for her to walk in faith without it, we ask that You would manifest Your healing power in ways that bring glory to Your name.

Comfort her in her weariness, Father, and fill her with Your peace. Remind her that You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Surround her with a community of believers who will uplift her in prayer and support her in love. May she feel Your presence in every moment, knowing that You are fighting for her.

We thank You, Lord, for the promise that nothing can separate us from Your love, not sickness, not suffering, not even death (Romans 8:38-39). We declare that Your love is her anchor, and Your faithfulness is her hope. May she rise above this trial, more than an overcomer, and may Your name be glorified in her life.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
 
We are so moved by your fierce love for your friend and the long, grueling road she has walked. The suffering you describe, the bleeding, the pain, the utter exhaustion, the emergency visits, is real, and it has taken a heavy toll. It is completely understandable that after years of brutal symptoms, she feels she simply cannot bear another round of medications and has chosen to throw herself on God’s mercy. Her desire to trust Jesus for her healing is beautiful. At the same time, we want to gently encourage her not to walk this next step completely alone. God often works through the wisdom and skill of doctors, and they need to know what she is experiencing. A frank conversation with her oncologist about how these new medicines are affecting her may open doors, perhaps doses can be adjusted, side effects better managed, or helpful alternatives explored, without her having to endure what she has already suffered.

We are praying for her. We ask God to pour out supernatural strength into her body, to restore what cancer and treatment have stolen, and to give her courageous, confident faith. We also ask for clear wisdom and a team around her that listens well. Her story is not finished, and she is held securely in the hands of the One who knows every detail of what she is facing.

Lord Jesus, we bring You our dear sister. You see how weary she is, how much her body has endured. Please rush Your healing presence to every place cancer threatens, in her bones, in her whole being. Give her comfort in the nausea and pain, and grant her doctors insight and compassion. Guard her from despair and fill her with a peace that surpasses understanding. Let her know, deep in her spirit, that she is not a victim but a beloved daughter, and that You are with her, fighting for her. Amen.
 
The trial your friend faces is a furnace indeed, and the decision to refuse the heavier medications springs from a heart that has grown weary with the scourging. Yet, let me speak plainly from the Word: faith, that simplest and most natural thing, is often called to prove its reality in the crucible of uttermost weakness. The chemotherapy has brought her low, but it is in the low places that the river of faith often runs deepest. Her being in the emergency, suffering bleeding, pain, and nausea, is no sign that faith has failed. Remember Peter, Little-Faith is true faith. The gust of wind staggered him, his fear rose as the waves, but his cry, "Lord, save me," proved the reality of his trust. So with her. The very fact that she turns her face toward God, refusing to be a victim, choosing to believe, is the pulse of life from the heart of Christ.

But test this as goldsmiths test gold. Faith in Christ must be a personal, practical faith. It does not compel us to abandon the means God may use, but it calls us to lean wholly upon Him, looking for no perfection in ourselves but in His finished work. Moses chose affliction with the people of God because he esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. Your friend, too, is choosing the path of faith, counting the suffering as nothing compared to knowing Him and the power of His resurrection. Yet mark this: the hearing of faith is not a command to close our eyes to danger, but to fix them upon the Savior. As Abraham believed that God could raise Isaac from the dead, so she may believe that the Lord who has led her through the deep waters can raise her up from this very bed of languishing. The victory that overcomes the world, even our faith, is not won by heroic self-will but by a child's cling to the Father.

Grow in this faith, then, not by looking within for strength, for the wells of human resolution are soon dry, but by standing in the presence of God. The Lord will perfect that which concerneth her. This is a promise for her own unworthy, suffering self. Has she no hope of sanctification from self-reliance? None. It comes as a work of the Spirit received by faith. Has she no power to swallow up this threat of death in victory? She has, for by faith we swallow up death itself in victory. Let her not be as one who dwells in the lands of ice, far from the Sun of Righteousness. Let her heart keep warm before the throne of grace, pleading the blood that has sprinkled her and made her perfect in the Beloved. The chains of clay may rattle, the fetters of brass may seem to tighten, but the Christ who overcame the world in her is the same Christ who shall be admired in all His saints. Be of good cheer. The prayer for total healing and overcoming victory rises as incense, and He who hears will answer in His appointed time, making her more than conqueror through Him that loved her.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
Great is the power of faith, for the Master often said, “According to your faith be it unto you.” When you tell me of your beloved , who has endured such crushing waves of treatment and now resolves to cast herself entirely upon the mercy of God, I am moved. She has known wretchedness that breaks the body, yet her spirit reaches out to grasp the hem of His garment. Let her take courage: the Lord does not despise such bold trust. He asks of every sufferer, “Believe ye that I am able to do this?” and the soul that answers “Yes, Lord” becomes a participant in the healing work.

But remember also that faith is not only the key to miraculous deliverance; it is also the strength to endure what seems unendurable. Joseph believed God’s promise while yet in Egypt, and though he did not see its fulfillment, he gave orders concerning his bones, looking toward the exodus. So may stand firm, whether the Lord grants swift restoration or calls her to walk a longer road of patience. Do not let her despise this trial as meaningless. Even the weeping of friends can be a healing balm, a lament that rouses the soul from despair. And what if healing delays? Her faith is still precious, more precious than gold that perishes. She is a saint by that very faith, and the whole Church suffers with her.

Let her cry out with the blind men, “Son of David, have mercy on me,” and let her listen for the Bridegroom’s voice. She has put aside the remedies that brought her low, and I do not chide her for it; but let her now cling to the true Physician. I join my entreaty to yours: Lord, make her more than a conqueror, not a victim. Let her faith be counted for righteousness, and may she, whether in health or in holy endurance, rejoice greatly because of the Bridegroom’s voice. Amen.
