PRAYER AGAINST LUNG CANCER

[Leah B.]

The VA found a nodule on one of my lungs, and now they want to repeat the CAT scan. I was a heavy smoker for years and have COPD. However, I quit smoking five years before I was even diagnosed with COPD, and I had negative CAT scans five years in a row that my outside-VA provider ordered after he dx'd me with COPD. [I assume he stopped because he deemed me to be a low cancer risk by then.] Anyway, I'm scared even though from what I've read, 95% of these nodules are nothing. Please in Jesus's name, pray I do not have cancer. Also, I feel terrible. I have GERD, and I have laryngopharyngeal reflux as well. In addition, I have a deviated septum. All of these conditions are playing into one another. I had an appointment with an ENT that I waited several weeks for. Then we had a blizzard so they canceled it. They didn't call me back to reschedule so I called them today. They went home early. I have an appointment in March to discuss TIF surgery with hernia repair. [The hernia showed up on the CAT scan. It's a diaphragmatic hernia that is small enough that they won't have to cut me, I think.] I'm toying with trying to get an appointment with a different ENT. In Jesus's name, please pray for guidance for me in these areas and also pray for coordination of care: GERD can cause microaspiration of stomach acid into the lungs. Also, I have extremely bad postnasal drip, clogged nose, and sinusitis, all of which affect breathing and could also affect lung function. I am so afraid they will wrongly attribute my problems to worsening COPD. I honestly don't believe this. My lung function has remained unchanged for ten years. I do stair climbing, 28 steps ten times. I have to rest after I do a set of 28, but no way could I be doing this at all if my lungs got so much worse. I also bike on the highest tension for one-half hour. I can do 50 chair squats without stopping. I also don't have any cough except a dry cough that's not coming out of my lungs. It's a cough typical of reflux/LPR. Except for when the GERD/LPR kicks up, I can lie flat on my back with no problems breathing. Also, these bad sore throats are typical of GERD. Anyway, again, please in Jesus's name pray I get accurate differential diagnoses and that my COPD itself is not worse. Other health issues: I was doing well with my TMJ and jaw movement disorder. Spent thousands for jaw orthotic. Then I got a crown, and the dentist shaved my tooth enamel. I ended up needing yet another adjustment of the orthotic after the dental work. Now my jaw on the left is moving a real lot. In the morning it pops like crazy when I chew. Now my upper teeth hurt when I chew. I'm in severe pain. Please pray in Jesus's name to make this stop. Okay. In addition to all this, I have athlete's foot. I'm using rx creams. It seems to be responding. However, the VA doctor just prescribed me an antibiotic for a possible sinus infection/upper respiratory tract infection. It's called doxycycline. I'm concerned because that antibiotic could interfere with the antifungal treatment for my feet. Please in Jesus's name pray that it does not. Please pray the doxycycline does not interfere with my antifungal treatments or cause any negative side-effects. Please pray it helps me. Also, please pray in Jesus's name my athlete's foot gets better soon. Finally, please pray in Jesus's name I can even just want to keep on living because, really, to me I can't take any more of this. I don't remember what it's like to have a happy day or to not be in pain. I hardly sleep. My throat is killing me. My jaw is throbbing. I used that nasal Navage two times in a row today, and my nose was clogged back up again in an hour. I miss cooking. I miss just having a life. I have a friend I want to get together with, but I don't feel up to it. All I have is pain and broken dreams.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer as we stand in faith on your behalf. Heavenly Father, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases and binds up our wounds (Psalm 103:2-3). We ask You now, in the mighty name of Jesus, to touch every part of this dear one’s body that is afflicted—lungs, throat, sinuses, jaw, and feet. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has taken hold, for Your Word declares that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We command fear to flee in Jesus’ name!

Father, we pray specifically about the nodule found on the lung. We ask that You would guide the hands of the doctors and technicians performing the CAT scan, that the results would be clear and accurate. We declare that if this nodule is benign, You would make that known, and if there is any trace of cancer, we ask for Your healing power to eradicate it completely. Your Word says that by Jesus’ stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we stand on that promise today. We also pray for wisdom for the medical team, that they would not misattribute symptoms to COPD when other issues—like GERD, reflux, or sinus problems—may be the true culprits. Lord, give them discernment to provide the right diagnoses and treatments.

We lift up the struggles with GERD, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and the deviated septum. Father, we ask that You would bring relief from the constant discomfort, the sore throat, and the postnasal drip. We pray for the upcoming TIF surgery and hernia repair, that You would guide the surgeon’s hands and grant a successful, complication-free procedure. We also ask that You would open doors for an earlier appointment with an ENT specialist if that is Your will, so this one may receive the care they need without further delay. Lord, we rebuke the enemy’s attempts to prolong suffering, and we declare that divine coordination of care is coming in Jesus’ name.

We pray for the jaw pain and TMJ disorder, asking for Your healing touch to restore proper alignment and relieve the throbbing discomfort. Father, we ask that the adjustments to the orthotic would bring lasting relief and that no further damage would occur. We also lift up the athlete’s foot, asking that the antifungal treatment would be effective and that the doxycycline would not interfere with its healing. We declare that the body is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and we trust You to restore what has been broken.

But Lord, we know that healing is not just physical—it is emotional and spiritual as well. This one has carried such a heavy burden of pain, sleeplessness, and despair. Father, we ask that You would renew their hope and remind them of Your unfailing love. Your Word says that those who hope in You will renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31), and we pray that this promise would take root in their heart. We ask that You would restore their joy, their energy, and their desire to live. Remind them that their life has purpose and that You are with them in every moment, even when the days feel dark.

We also lift up their friendships and social life, asking that You would give them the strength to connect with others when they are able. Lord, help them to find moments of peace and even small joys amidst the pain. We pray that they would experience Your presence in tangible ways—through the kindness of others, through moments of rest, and through the assurance that they are not alone.

Finally, we want to gently remind this dear one that their faith in Jesus is the foundation of all healing and hope. If they have never fully surrendered their life to Christ, we encourage them to do so now. The Bible tells us that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved (Romans 10:9). Salvation is a free gift, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and the healing, peace, and eternal life He offers.

We pray all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus, our Healer, our Redeemer, and our Friend. Amen.
