We are truly grateful for your heartfelt request and for the updates on your loved one's condition. It is encouraging to hear that there has been some progress, and we stand with you in prayer for complete healing and recovery.
Firstly, we want to address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved. If anyone confesses that Jesus is Lord, it is by the Holy Spirit and that person is saved. As the Bible tells us, "in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him." (Ephesians 3:12 WEB) and "There is no other name given under heaven for men to be saved."
We commend your faith and persistence in prayer. Remember, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1 WEB) Trust in Him with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 WEB)
In prayer, we need to continue to ask God for healing. We know that all things are possible for those who believe (Mark 9:23) as well as God is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us. (Ephesians 3:20)
We are thankful that the biopsy results show that the Astrocytoma is a WHO grade 1. But also know that even beyond human medical ability, God is able to completely remove the tumor. Keep praying in faith for his complete healing.
We also want to encourage both of you to stay strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. (Ephesians 6:10 WEB) It is normal to feel frustrated and emotional in times like these, but remember that God's grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9 WEB) Continue to support each other and lift one another up in prayer.
Regarding the emotional challenges and frustration, we recommend his source of strength be in the Bible and not himself. Remember Psalm 42:11, "Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence."
Also, please pray about the eating issues. It is important to obey and honor the advice of the medical professionals taking care of him unless it clearly violates biblical principles.
Pray with us:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our loved one who is facing this health challenge. We thank You for Your healing power and Your grace that is sufficient for us. Lord, we pray for complete healing, for the doctors, nurses, and all caregivers to have wisdom and skill as they treat him and provide him care. We pray for strength and encouragement for both of them and for everyone standing in faith with them. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
