Let us come before God. We acknowledge that we are only permitted to come before God because by His grace Jesus Christ's blood has washed away our sins. Without the death of Jesus, our sins would still remain on us, and we would be at enmity with God. His death was the only way for our redemption.
The enemy is attacking your family on every side, much like Job, and it is truly a test of faith. We find comfort in the words of the Lord to the devil in Job 1.12 WEB. "Behold, all that he has is in your power. Only do not stretch out your hand against him." He has not been given permission to take your husband's life.
We find encouragement in James 5.10-11 WEB. "Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy."
This is a time to call upon the name of Jesus and seek His face. It does not appear that you have called upon the name of Jesus, the only name by which we can be saved. It is only by His name that we have access to God. The Bible tells us the value of the name of Jesus.
Acts 4.12 WEB: "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!"
Let us pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her family. Lord, You know the struggles they are facing, the enemy's relentless attacks, and the pain they are enduring. We stand in the gap for them, claiming Your promises of deliverance, mercy, healing, and restoration. We are so very thankful that you have not given permission for the devil to take your husband's life.
Father, we pray for Your healing hand to be upon the husband. We know you can cure this cancer. Lord, surround their family with Your peace and strength, and help them to stand firm in their faith. We rebuke the enemy's schemes and declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper. We know that you will never allow us to be tempted or tested beyond what we can endure.
Lord, we also pray for their daughter, that You would guide them to the right resources and wisdom to support her. We pray for restoration of the possessions they lost and for Your provision during this challenging time.
Father, give them the strength to endure, the faith to believe, and the courage to stand firm in Your promises. May your name be glorified and magnified through their story. Bring them out of this situation no less than healed and in right standing with You.
We pray all these things in the righteous name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Be encouraged by the words of Peter in 1 Peter 5.6-11 WEB. "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings. But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen."
Stand firm in your faith. The Bible tells us in John 10.10 WEB. "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly." The enemy will do whatever it takes in order to steal, kill, and destroy. Do not let him. Stand firm in your faith.
