We are standing with you in prayer together right now in Jesus' name as you wait to see the dermatologist and carry the heavy memory of cancer in 2022. We understand how frightening it is to notice a discolored mole when you have already walked through cancer, and we do not take your fear lightly. God sees your worry and draws near to you in it.
Scripture reminds us, The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. And again, Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10. When fear rises, we can bring it directly to Him, for God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7, and When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you Psalm 56:3.
We encourage you not to let fear delay you, but to act promptly as you are already desiring to do. Please call the dermatologist today, let them know your history of cancer and the change you have noticed, and ask to be seen urgently or placed on a cancellation list. If you cannot be seen quickly, please contact your primary care doctor as well so they can help advocate for you. Bring someone you trust with you to the appointment if you can, write down your history and questions beforehand, and take a photo of the mole with something for scale to show any change. God often works through the wisdom and skill He has given to medical professionals, and seeking care quickly is a wise and faithful step.
We also noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to gently share why we pray in His name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God and the assurance of salvation, for 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 no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, and to call upon His name. That 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 together for you now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up this dear one to You. You know the fear and the memories that have come flooding back, and You know every detail of this mole and this body that You created. We ask for Your perfect peace to guard heart and mind, as You have promised In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. Lord, we ask for favor to get an appointment very soon, for wisdom for the dermatologist and all who provide care, and for clear answers. We ask for Your healing touch, for You have said But I will restore health to you and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD Jeremiah 30:17, and You heal the broken in heart, and bind up their wounds Psalm 147:3. Whether this is nothing to worry about or something that needs treatment, we ask that You guide every next step and that You would be glorified and this loved one would feel Your presence and strength every day. We entrust this fear and this body into Your loving hands and pray for good news and for continued health.
We are continuing to pray for you. Please let us know when you are able to be seen and what the doctors say, so we can keep praying with you. You are not alone.
