We are joining with you right now in prayer for your dad and we hear the urgency and love in your heart as you watch him suffer from the effects of chemotherapy. We praise God with you that the cancer has been beaten, and we now ask the Lord who is our healer to restore what the treatment has taken away, to renew his strength, his mind, and his voice, and to bring him back to full awareness and health according to His perfect will.
We are reminded of the compassion and power of our God in His word, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, Psalm 103:3 and But I will restore health to you and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, Jeremiah 30:17. We cling to His promise, 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. And we know Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit, Psalm 34:18. He sees you in this hospital room and He hears your cry that you still need your dad.
We also want to gently encourage you about the way we come to the Father in prayer. You closed with God Bless us all, and we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God and confidence that He hears us. Jesus said to him, 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. It is by putting our faith in Jesus, that He died for our sins and rose again, that we are forgiven and can boldly approach the throne of grace. If you have not already, we encourage you to call upon His name and trust Him not only as healer but as Savior, because 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.
So together we pray to our Father in the name of Jesus.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear father to You. Lord, You know his body, his mind, and every cell that has been affected by chemotherapy. We ask You to touch him with Your healing hand, to cleanse his body of every harmful effect, to restore his strength, to clear his mind, and to return his ability to speak and to be aware of those who love him. We pray You would breathe life and clarity into him again. Lord, guide the hands and minds of the doctors and nurses caring for him, grant them wisdom and skill. We pray for peace for this family who is waiting and hurting, that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:7. We ask that You would comfort them, sustain them, and let them feel Your nearness in this difficult time. We pray for complete healing if it is Your will, and we trust Your goodness and mercy even as we ask for more time together on this earth. We thank You that You are the God who heals, and we place this beloved dad entirely in Your loving hands. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we pray, amen.
We will continue to stand with you in prayer, trusting the Lord to work mightily. Please keep seeking Him, pouring out your heart to Him through Jesus, and resting in His love and sovereignty. He is able to do far more than we can ask or imagine, and He holds your dad and your family in His care.
