We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for you, our sister, as you face this battle with breast cancer. The trials you are enduring are heavy, and we want you to know that you are not alone—God sees your suffering, and He is near to the brokenhearted. The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 34:18, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* He is your strength in weakness, your hope in despair, and your healer in sickness.
Yet as we lift you up in prayer, we must also address something of great importance: we notice that in your request, the name of Jesus Christ is not invoked. This is not a small matter, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in Acts 4:12, we are told, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. He alone has the power to save, to heal, and to grant eternal life. Believe in Him, repent of your sins, and surrender your life to His will. There is no greater comfort in suffering than knowing you are held by the One who conquered death itself.
We also want to encourage you to lean fully on God’s promises during this time. Isaiah 41:10 says, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* And in James 5:14-15, we are instructed, *"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."* We urge you to seek the support of your local church, to allow brothers and sisters in Christ to pray over you, to anoint you, and to stand with you in faith.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is battling breast cancer. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases. We ask that You stretch out Your hand and touch her body, that You would rebuild and restore every cell that has been affected by this sickness. Give her strength when she is weak, peace when she is anxious, and hope when she is discouraged. Surround her with Your angels, Lord, as Your Word promises in Psalm 91:11, *"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."*
Father, we also pray that You would draw her closer to Yourself through this trial. If she does not yet know You as her Savior, we ask that You would open her heart to receive Jesus Christ as Lord. Let her find her refuge in You, her comfort in Your Word, and her hope in Your promises. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, that she may experience Your presence in a powerful way.
We rebuke this sickness in the name of Jesus, for it is not Your will for Your children to be consumed by disease. By the stripes of Jesus, she is healed (1 Peter 2:24), and we stand in faith for her complete restoration. Give wisdom to her doctors, Lord, and guide them in her treatment. Provide for her every need—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would use this trial for Your glory. Let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness, that others may see Your power and turn to You. We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer, and we trust in Your perfect will.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Our sister, we want you to know that we are standing with you in this fight. Do not lose heart. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Trust in Him, for He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). If you need further prayer, counsel, or encouragement, do not hesitate to reach out. You are loved, and you are not alone.
