A Prayer For People With Cancer

 Father,

I lift your sons and daughters to you. A sweet spirited thirsty souls in pursuit of you. This diagnosis is devastating for them and their families. So, I come tonight to offer this prayer, you are near to those who brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. [Ps 34:18-19] You are near to them in this moment I pray this and, in the moments, when they reads this over and over again you will draw near and comfort them. You have not given them a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and a sound mind. [II Tim 1:7] So we can stand against fear in the mind. We plead for you to help them not be anxious about cancer. With thanksgiving and supplication, we all make our requests known for healing. We trust you to guard hearts and minds with the peace that surpasses all understanding in Christ Jesus. [Phil 4:6-7] You are the God who forgives our trespasses and who heals all our diseases. [Ps 103:2] We ask for your healing for those suffering. We understand the mountain that they face. A crushing immovable mountain from our perspective. Again, we stand on your word. You said if we had faith and spoke to our mountain to be moved in belief and did not doubt in our hearts that we would be granted what we asked. [Mark 11:23-24] We ask you in the name of Jesus to move every cell of cancer from her body and totally eradicate all of it. We cry out to you who can do far above what we can ask or imagine. We ask for her complete healing and imagine the restoration of her health in full. [Eph 3:20] We know you can do it through doctors, or you can speak healing over sick bodies. We also know that the confidence we have before you is if we ask anything according to your will, we know that you hear us we will receive the requests we have asked. [I Jn 5:14-15] This is the promise you made. We ask you to will to completely remove the cancer and give life and health to so they can keep seeking and serving you. You told us to call on you in the day of trouble and you would rescue us, and we will honor you. [Ps 50:15] I know Katie stands ready to honor you. So, we ask you to do what you said you would do. To rescue. You also said through David, that he would have despaired if he had not believed that he would see your goodness in the land of the living. As many wait on you, may you fill them with your strength and courage. [Ps 27:13-14] We know we will see your goodness in heaven. We are asking you to allow the hurting to see it in the land of the living right here and right now. We trust that they will not fear because you are with them. Help them not look anxiously around for you are their God. We trust you will strengthen and help. You will uphold with your righteous right hand. [Is 41:10] I ask you to give faith. The assurance of what they hope for and the evidence of what they cannot see. [Heb 11:1] We stand on the truth that without faith it is impossible to please you. We believe that you are everything the suffering needs in this crisis and you reward those who diligently seek you. [Heb 11:6] I come boldly before your throne of grace to find help and grace for the afflicted in this time of need. [Heb 4:16] I do not come based on merit to deserve healing. None of us deserve anything from you. I ask what will bring you the most glory. People testifying about how you preserved life and living to serve you and point others to you will bring you abundant glory and encourage as well as inspire many others. I make my stand in faith for these beloved people of yours. I stand in faith that the child is not dead but only sleeping. I stand in faith not to be afraid but only to believe. [Mark 5:36-39] In your name Jesus, amen!
