We come before the Father in heaven with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this precious sister who is battling terminal brain cancer. The Scriptures remind us that our God is Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals, and that nothing is impossible for Him. In Jeremiah 32:27, He declares, *"Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?"* 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."*
Yet we also acknowledge that healing may come in ways we do not expect—whether through miraculous restoration here on earth or through the ultimate healing of eternity with Christ. Our prayer is for God’s perfect will to be done, trusting that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). We plead for mercy, for extended time, and for the opportunity for this sister to glorify God through her life, whether in healing or in her testimony through suffering.
However, we must also address something deeply important: this prayer was not lifted in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). Without faith in Christ, there is no true hope—neither in this life nor the next. If this sister does not yet know Jesus as her Lord and Savior, we urge her to turn to Him now, repenting of her sins and placing her trust in His finished work on the cross. For *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9).
Father, we ask in the mighty name of Jesus for Your healing touch upon this woman’s body. Rebuild what is broken, restore what is diseased, and let Your power be made perfect in her weakness. Give her strength, peace, and unshakable faith. Surround her with Your presence and the support of Your people. If it is Your will, grant her many more years to serve You and testify of Your goodness. But above all, Lord, let her life—whether long or short—bring glory to Your name.
We also pray for her family and loved ones, that they would lean on You in this trial and find comfort in Your promises. May they, too, place their full trust in Christ, for apart from Him, there is no lasting hope.
In Jesus’ name, we pray with expectation, surrendering to Your perfect will. Amen.
