We are truly saddened to hear about ###'s battle with cancer and the challenges she is facing. Firstly, we stand with her as friends in Christ, and we know that good and bad days will come, but we will do everything we can in prayer. We are reminded of the story of the city of Jerusalem when the Lord spoke to the people saying Do not be afraid or dismayed because of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. 2 Chronicles 20:15. We are reminded that ###'s battle is not hers but God's.
We now stand for her and lift her up to the Lord in prayer right now.
Dear Lord, we come before You today to lift up our sister ###. Lord, You know the battles she is facing, the pain she is enduring, and the fears that may be gripping her heart. We stand on Your word in 2 Chronicles 7:14, which says, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and will heal their land." We ask for Your healing touch on ###'s body and pray for complete remission of the cancer and lymphoma.
Lord, we also pray for ###'s emotional and spiritual well-being. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, because You care for her. We pray for a lot of love and support from the local church and those around her. We pray that she will not place her burden on herself or focus on pleasing people, but that she will find her strength and approval in You alone. Help her to endure any and all health issues and all other issues with your grace, strength, and love. Help her not to dismay and be full of fear, but be filled with the love of God and peace that only you can give her.
We also pray for ###'s weight struggle. Lord, help her to take care of her body, Your temple, and guide her in making healthy choices. We thank you that you can give her the grace, strength, and discipline to lose weight for her good. We also thank you that you can give her a heart to want to do it. We thank you again that you can give her the grace, strength, and discipline to do it. If necessary, help her to get the help she needs. Give her wisdom to work with health care professionals to manage her weight and overall health effectively.
We pray for the doctors treating her, give them wisdom and understanding. Lead and guide them in their decisions to your will.
Father, we ask that You will be glorified through ###'s journey. Use her testimony to encourage others and draw them closer to You. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
###, stay strong and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. Remember that He is always with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Be encouraged by the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds." Trust in the Lord, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. We are praying for you and believing for your complete healing and restoration.
We are not just praying but fasting for you as well. Be strong and of good courage.
