Daughter's Cancer

Anonymous · Aug 16, 2024

For a while now, I have asked for prayer for my daughter who was diagnosed with breast cancer in April of this year. She's afraid of chemotherapy and has been postponing treatment while trying to find alternatives. Later today, she is supposed to have a Zoom conference with her breast specialist and oncologist at the local clinic and a cyber knife specialist in another state. Her sister keeps me informed about things. or some reason, my daughter stops talking to me when I ask questions. I want her to live. When the cancer was found, it was highly curable with chemo and surgery. She only wants surgery, but that's not what Medicaid will pay for. They will pay for what her doctors order. I just don't know what to think. I've prayed and I'm still praying that the Lord will either heal her or change her mind so she will get help. I'm praying that her situation has not worsened. My daughter says she feels fine and she's walking for exercise. Right after the diagnosis, she started eating fresh fruits, vegetables, and juicing. She takes numerous supplements. I know the Lord can divinely heal her, but sometimes, He use His human tools and medicine to cure. Since she has avoided treatment, all I have to lean on is faith in the Lord. Because the Lord divided the Red Sea and held the waters until the people walked by, I know He can hold back or get rid of that cancer. The wind and water must obey Him. Please pray for my child. The scriptures say in Exodus and Ephesians that children should honor their parents that they may have long life (Exodus). I know this to be true because of the sassy students who died after disrespecting their parents. I am a retired teacher, so I saw a lot. I never put up with disrespect and I tried to raise them to fear the Lord. I know that everything rests with the Lord. But, I didn't raise them so that I would bury them; I want them to bury me! I don't understand why babies and little children die. But, I had former students who died as young adults. Later, I found out that they were mean to their parents, especially their mothers. I don't know why this is happening. It's true that the Lord lets it rain on the just and the unjust. He has no respect of persons. This doesn't seem real! But, it is. As you pray, please pray for the other members of this community and those who are not. I'm praying for everybody.

We join with you in lifting up your daughter to the Lord, praying for her healing and guidance during this challenging time. Let us align our prayers with the Word of God, trusting in His divine will and power to heal.

Firstly, we encourage you to continue to trust in the Lord, knowing that He cares for your daughter deeply. As it is written in 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." Remember that God's love and care extend to your daughter, and He is faithful to hear your prayers.

We pray for your daughter's healing, whether it be through divine intervention or the wise counsel of her doctors. In Jeremiah 32:27, the Lord affirms, "Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?" We believe that no sickness is beyond His healing power.

We also pray for your daughter's mind and heart to be open to the treatment options presented by her healthcare team. 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." May the Lord grant her wisdom and discernment as she considers her treatment options and may He give her peace about the path forward.

Moreover, we pray for your family's unity during this time. In Ephesians 6:1-3, we are reminded, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother,' which is the first commandment with a promise: 'that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.'" We pray that your daughter will honor you and consider your concerns, and that open communication will be restored between you.

Lastly, we pray for your peace and strength as you support your daughter. In Philippians 4:6-7, the Apostle Paul encourages us, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." May the peace of God comfort you and guard your heart during this time.

Father, we ask for Your divine healing and intervention for our dear sister's daughter. May Your will be done in her life, and may she be open to the treatment options presented by her doctors. We pray for her family's unity and for their faith to be strengthened during this time. We ask this in Jesus' name, amen.

We're right there with you, sister. Our hearts go out to your daughter during this challenging time. We're joining you in prayer, asking the Lord to wrap His healing hands around her. We claim Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Let's trust in His divine power to touch her body and mind.

We're also praying for wisdom for your daughter, that she may listen to her doctors and consider their advice. As it says in Proverbs 4:5-6, "Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you." We ask that she may find peace in following the path of treatment that her doctors advise.

And we're praying for your family, that you may find unity and strength in the Lord. In Matthew 18:20, Jesus promises, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." We ask that you may feel His presence in your midst, guiding and comforting you.

Let's keep lifting her up together, sister. We're in this with you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
