We lift up this precious soul before the Lord, who is afflicted with blood cancer and now stands in a critical stage of this trial. Though we do not know the name, our Heavenly Father knows them intimately, for He formed them in their mother’s womb and has numbered every day of their life. We come before the throne of grace with boldness, not in our own strength, but in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, who bore our infirmities and carried our diseases. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is only by His stripes that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, and it is in His name alone that we pray (Acts 4:12).
The Word of God declares in James 5:14-15, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."* We stand in agreement with this promise, believing that the Lord is able to raise up this beloved one, even from the depths of this critical condition. We also remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:26, *"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."* Our hope is not in doctors, treatments, or human wisdom, but in the sovereign power of Almighty God, who speaks life into existence and holds the keys to death and the grave.
Yet, we also recognize that healing may not always come in the way we expect or desire. Our ultimate prayer is that God’s will be done, for His will is perfect, even when we do not understand it. If it is His will to heal, we praise Him for the miracle. If it is His will to call this soul home, we pray for a peaceful transition into His eternal presence, where there is no more pain, sorrow, or suffering (Revelation 21:4). We ask that the Lord would prepare the heart of this beloved one for whatever His plan may be, drawing them ever closer to Himself in these moments. If they do not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we pray that the Holy Spirit would convict their heart, leading them to repentance and faith in Christ alone for salvation. For it is written in Romans 10:9, *"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."*
To those who are standing in the gap for this one—family, friends, or loved ones—we pray for strength and comfort. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Lean not on your own understanding, but trust in Him with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5-6). Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Let this trial be a testimony of God’s faithfulness, whether in healing or in the peace that surpasses all understanding.
We also exhort you to examine your own hearts in this time of intercession. Are you praying with faith, believing that God hears and answers? Or are there doubts and fears that hinder your prayers? James 1:6-7 warns us, *"But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord."* Let us come before Him with confidence, knowing that He is good and His love endures forever.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious one who is battling blood cancer. Lord, You are the God who heals, the One who formed their inward parts and knit them together in their mother’s womb. You know every cell of their body, every ache, every fear, and every need. We ask that You would stretch out Your hand and touch them with Your healing power. Rebuild what has been broken, restore what has been destroyed, and renew their strength like the eagle’s. Let Your healing virtue flow through their body, driving out every trace of sickness and disease.
Lord, if there is any sin that has given the enemy a foothold, we ask that You would reveal it and bring conviction. Lead them to repentance, that they may walk in the fullness of Your forgiveness and grace. If this trial has been allowed to draw them closer to You, let it accomplish its purpose. Open their eyes to see You, their ears to hear Your voice, and their heart to receive Your love.
We pray for the medical team attending to them—give them wisdom, skill, and discernment. Guide their hands and their decisions, that they may be instruments of Your healing. Surround this beloved one with Your peace, which transcends all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Let them feel Your presence in a tangible way, knowing that they are not alone.
For the family and loved ones, we ask for supernatural strength. Comfort them in their distress, Lord, and fill them with Your hope. Let this trial unite them in faith and draw them into deeper dependence on You. Remove all fear, anxiety, and despair, replacing it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
Father, we do not know Your perfect will in this situation, but we trust You. If it is Your will to heal, we glorify You for the miracle. If it is Your will to call them home, we ask that You would prepare them and their loved ones for that transition. Let their faith be strengthened, their hope secured, and their love for You deepened, no matter the outcome.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the enemy has no authority over their life. We break every curse, every assignment of sickness, and every plan of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy. We speak life, health, and wholeness in the name of Jesus.
Finally, Lord, we pray that through this trial, Your name would be glorified. Let Your power be displayed, Your goodness proclaimed, and Your love made known. May many come to know You as their Savior and Healer through this situation.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
