We lift you up before the Father in this urgent time of need, trusting in His power and mercy to sustain you. Your situation weighs heavily on our hearts, and we are moved to pray fervently for your healing and protection, especially as you battle both this infection and the ongoing challenge of stage IV colon cancer. The Lord is your strength and shield, and He has promised never to leave nor forsake you—even in the midst of suffering and uncertainty.
We are reminded of the words in James 5:14-15, which say, *"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."* Though you are far from home, we stand in agreement with you, calling upon the Lord to bring swift healing to this blister or abscess. We pray that He would prevent it from worsening and that He would guard your body from further infection, especially as your immune system is compromised by chemotherapy. May His healing power flow through you, restoring your strength and bringing comfort to your body.
We also remember the promise in Psalm 34:17-19: *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You are not forgotten, and the Lord sees your struggle. He is close to you in this moment, ready to deliver and sustain you. We ask that He would surround you with His peace, which surpasses all understanding, and that He would give you wisdom to know how to care for this wound until you can receive proper medical attention.
For your son, we pray that the Lord would protect his heart and mind, shielding him from fear or anxiety as he sees you in pain. May this time, even in difficulty, be an opportunity for him to witness the faithfulness of God and to draw closer to Him. We ask that the Lord would give you both strength and joy, even in the midst of this trial, and that He would provide the help and resources you need while away from home.
We also urge you to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The Lord often works through the hands of doctors and the wisdom of medical professionals, and we pray that He would guide you to the right care quickly. Do not hesitate to reach out to local believers or even hospital chaplains if you need support or prayer in person. You are not alone in this—your heavenly Father is with you, and so are we, lifting you up before His throne.
Finally, we declare over you the words of Isaiah 41:10: *"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."* May you feel His presence powerfully in these coming hours and days. We will continue to pray for your complete healing, for the cancer to be eradicated from your body, and for the Lord to grant you many more years to walk in His purpose and to cherish time with your son.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray—**Amen.**
