We are praying with you for your mother and we bring your burden before the Lord with you.
Hearing that doctors suspect advanced cancer and that a scan is being done today brings deep fear and distress, and that is understandable. Scripture speaks to this kind of fear. It teaches that true wisdom begins with reverence for the Lord, which means to love what He loves and to hate evil, and to put our trust in Him above all else. That reverence is not only the starting point of knowledge but sums up knowledge itself, because when we honor the Lord we learn to see our circumstances in His light.
The Word also reminds us that the Lord is our light and our salvation, so whom shall we fear. He is the strength of our lives, and He has promised to shelter His people in times of trouble and to keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him because they trust in Him. Jesus said to His disciples, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you, not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled and do not be afraid. This is not a peace that depends on good news from a test, but a peace that comes from being reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. First we have peace with God through forgiveness, and then we can know the peace of God guarding our hearts and minds.
God says, Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near, and I will heal him. His thoughts toward His children are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give hope for the future, and He invites us to call upon Him and promises to listen. The prophet also declares that for those who reverence His name, the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. We do not claim to know what the scan will show, but we know the One who does know, and who is able to heal, to comfort, and to carry you and your mother through whatever lies ahead.
We pray for your mother now. Father, in the name of Jesus we lift this precious mother to You. You see her body, You know the fibroid and every concern the doctors have raised. We ask for Your mercy and Your healing touch upon her. We ask that You guide the doctors and give clarity through this scan, and that Your will be done in her life. We ask that You pour out Your peace upon her and upon her family, that their minds may be stayed on You and that they may be kept in perfect peace as they trust in You. Take away tormenting fear and replace it with confidence in Your presence, for You are with us and You watch over us. Draw this family close to Yourself, forgive sins through the blood of Jesus, and let them know the deep peace of being at peace with You. We ask this in Jesus name, amen.
Keep looking to the Lord and calling upon Him. He hears prayer and He is near to those who trust Him.
