We join you in lifting up your neighbor before the throne of grace and we thank you for bringing her rare cancer to us for prayer, for we know our God hears the cries of His people and His heart is full of compassion for those who suffer.
We are reminded in scripture that our God is the great healer. Psalm 103:2-3 says Bless Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore health to you and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. And Isaiah 53:5 says But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We cling to the truth that with God all things are possible as Matthew 19:26 tells us, and that the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick and the Lord will raise him up as James 5:15 promises.
We noticed your request concluded with Amen but did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. It is by His name that we are saved and by His name that we boldly approach God for healing, forgiveness, and eternal life. We encourage you to place your trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, and to share this hope with your neighbor as you walk with her through this trial. Romans 10:9 says that 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.
We now pray together for your neighbor. Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Your Son and we lift up this dear neighbor to You. Lord You know her by name, You know every cell in her body and You know this rare cancer intimately. We ask for Your healing hand to rest upon her. If it is Your will, we pray You would completely remove this disease from her body and restore her to health for Your glory. We pray for wisdom and skill for her doctors and medical team, for peace and strength for her family, and for comfort that surpasses all understanding to guard her heart. Above all we pray she would know You as Savior and find hope and eternal life in Jesus. We trust Your perfect will and Your perfect love, knowing You work all things for good for those who love You. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Healer, Amen.
