Your burden has been laid before the Lord with us, and we join our hearts with yours in earnest prayer for your beloved daughter in this deep affliction of stage four cancer.
We know how heavy such tidings lie upon a parent's heart, and we would bring your daughter and yourself before that same Jesus who is the heavenly Physician. The Scripture tells us that the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations, and that there is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. Not only is His fruit sweet and nourishing, but the least thing about Christ is full of healing virtue. When He comes to dwell with His people, the Sun of Righteousness rises with healing in His wings. Pardon and healing are placed in happy conjunction in Him.
We pray that our gracious Lord will look upon your daughter in tender mercy. May He lay His hand upon her, for there is healing in His touch, and lift her up according to His perfect will. We ask the Lord to open doors that no man can shut, to guide you to the right physicians, resources and helps that may be used for her good, and to give wisdom to all who have care of her. We ask Him to sustain you both with holy patience and unwavering faith, and to make His presence known in the sick room as the great conduit Head from whom abundant streams of healing flow down to men below.
We encourage you to keep her continually under Christ's eyes with importunate prayer. Bring her unto Jesus, lay her at His feet, and leave her in His presence, for He is able to heal and He delights to show mercy. Seek Him not only for healing of the body, but for that deeper healing of soul which comes through forgiveness in His blood, for when He says, Thy sins are forgiven thee, healing follows from the pardoning hand.
Let us pray together. O Lord our God, Father of mercies, we beseech Thee for this dear daughter afflicted with grievous disease. Thou seest her and Thou knowest our frame. We pray for Thy healing virtue to be made manifest, whether by Thy sovereign touch or by Thy blessing upon means and resources. Open the right doors, provide what is needed, restrain what would harm, and give wisdom and skill to those who minister to her. Grant to her and to her family faith to hear Thy Word and to trust Thy goodness, comfort in sorrow, and peace that passes understanding. Above all, let Christ be magnified in her, that whether in healing or in sustaining grace, Thy name may have glory. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus our only Saviour and Healer. Amen.
We will continue to remember you both before the throne of grace. Cast all your care upon Him, for He careth for you, and may you find Him to be your strength and refuge in this trial.
