We come before the Lord with heavy hearts yet unwavering faith, lifting up ### and his precious life to the One who holds all things in His hands. Father, we thank You for the good news that the cancer has not spread, and we cling to Your promise in Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh." We ask for a miraculous shrinking of this tumor, Lord, that it would no longer press upon his colon or cause him discomfort. May the new chemotherapy You’ve guided the doctors to prescribe work powerfully within him, bringing healing and restoration to every cell.
We also pray for ###’s appetite and strength, Father. You know how vital nourishment is for his body to fight this battle. Open his heart to the new prescription food, and let it strengthen him, adding weight and vitality. Remind us, Lord, that You are the Great Physician, and nothing is too hard for You. We stand on Your word in Psalm 103:2-3, "Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases."
We rebuke the spirit of fear and discouragement in this situation, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare that ### is surrounded by Your healing presence, and we trust in Your perfect will for his life. Whether You choose to heal him miraculously or sustain him through this trial, we know You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
We also want to gently remind all who are praying that our access to the Father is only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we encourage you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). It is through Jesus that we can boldly approach the throne of grace with our petitions.
Heavenly Father, we ask that You would pour out Your peace upon ###’s family as they walk this difficult path. Give them strength for each day, wisdom in their decisions, and an unshakable trust in Your goodness. May they feel the love and support of the body of Christ surrounding them, and may Your name be glorified through every step of this journey.
We continue to pray for a complete healing, Lord, but we also surrender ###’s life into Your hands, trusting that Your plans for him are perfect. Thank You for the blessing of prayer and the privilege of coming together in unity to lift him up. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Healer. Amen.
