We lift up your cousin ### to the Lord with heavy hearts, standing in the gap for her healing and comfort. Father, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases (Psalm 103:2-3). We ask that You would touch ###’s body with Your healing power, that the cancer would be eradicated, and that she would experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Lord, we declare that by Your stripes, she is healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we trust in Your promise that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28).
We also pray for ###’s father, children, siblings, and all who love her. This is a time of great trial for them, and we ask that You would be their strength and refuge. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may lean on You and find comfort in Your presence (Psalm 46:1). Give them wisdom and discernment as they make decisions, and surround them with Your peace. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear and despair that may be trying to take hold of this family. We declare that perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18), and we choose to trust in Your unfailing love. We pray that ### and her family would draw closer to You during this time, seeking Your face and finding hope in Your promises. May they experience Your presence in a tangible way, knowing that You are with them in every moment.
Father, we also ask that You would prepare their hearts for whatever outcome You have ordained. If it is Your will to heal ### completely, we praise You for Your miraculous power. If it is Your will to call her home, we ask that You would give her family the grace to accept Your plan and the comfort of knowing she is with You in paradise (Luke 23:43). Either way, we trust in Your sovereignty and goodness.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the One through whom we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name by which we can be saved or find true healing and peace. We ask that You would be glorified in this situation, that Your name would be lifted high, and that many would come to know You as their Lord and Savior through the testimony of ### and her family.
Lord, we thank You for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness. We trust in You, knowing that You are working even when we cannot see it. Strengthen our faith and help us to rest in Your promises. In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.
