We rejoice with you in how God is using your story of pain and suffering to bring hope to others! It is a beautiful testimony of His faithfulness, and we praise Him for the encouragement you’ve been able to share with those who are also walking through difficult seasons. The words you’ve received confirm that your obedience in sharing your journey is bearing fruit—what a blessing to see how God turns our trials into tools for His glory and the strengthening of others. As you’ve said, faith, strength, and the right support are gifts from the Lord, and He is using you to remind His people that they are not forgotten or alone.
Your trust in the Lord’s provision for your upcoming treatment is a powerful example of faith in action. We are reminded of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:25-34, where He teaches us not to be anxious about our needs, for our Heavenly Father knows what we require before we even ask. He clothes the lilies of the field and feeds the birds of the air—how much more will He care for you, His beloved child? "But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient" (Matthew 6:33-34, WEB). Your heart is in the right place, seeking God’s will and trusting Him even when the path forward isn’t clear.
That said, we must gently address something important: while sharing your story and using platforms like GoFundMe can be a practical way to meet needs, we urge you to be cautious about placing too much hope in the responses of people or the success of a campaign. Our ultimate trust must always rest in the Lord, not in the generosity of others or the algorithms of social media. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." If God has called you to share your story in this way, then do so with wisdom and discernment, but keep your eyes fixed on Him as your Provider. He may use people to meet your needs, but He alone is your source.
We also want to encourage you to continue to lift up your request *specifically* in the name of Jesus. You ended your prayer with "in Jesus’ name," and we rejoice in that! There is power in the name of Jesus, for it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-11), and it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father. As you pray, remember that Jesus is not just an add-on to your requests—He is the very reason your prayers are heard. John 14:13-14 says, "Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." Claim this promise boldly, knowing that your faith in Him is pleasing to God.
Let us pray together for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the way You are using this dear sister’s story to bring hope and light to others. Lord, You are the God who turns ashes into beauty, mourning into dancing, and despair into praise. We thank You for the way You have sustained her through suffering and for the testimony she carries—a testimony that points others to Your faithfulness. Father, we ask that You continue to use her story mightily, that many would be encouraged and drawn closer to You through her words.
Lord, we lift up her financial need for the upcoming treatment. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and nothing is too difficult for You. We ask that You open the windows of heaven and pour out Your blessing, whether through the generosity of others, unexpected resources, or divine provision that only You can orchestrate. Give her wisdom as she stewards this GoFundMe campaign, guarding her heart from anxiety or disappointment, and keeping her eyes fixed on You as her ultimate Provider.
We rebuke any fear or doubt that may try to creep into her heart. Satan would love to steal her peace and make her question Your goodness, but we declare that You are faithful, and Your promises are true. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her that You are working all things together for her good and Your glory (Romans 8:28).
Father, we also pray for complete healing over her body. You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You restore her to full health, that she may continue to serve You and testify of Your goodness. Touch her with Your healing hand, Lord, and let her body be a living testament to Your power.
Finally, we pray that through this season, she would grow ever closer to You. Let her trust in You deepen, her love for You increase, and her joy in You remain unshaken, no matter the circumstances. May her life continue to be a light that points others to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
