Let's come together in prayer and support for Ruth, who has been like a mother to you, Poamond. We stand with you in faith, believing that God can heal and restore her health.
Firstly, we acknowledge that God is the ultimate healer. As it is written in Psalm 103:2-3, "Bless Yahweh, my soul, don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases." We claim this promise for Ruth, trusting that God can heal her from cancer.
However, we must also remember that our ultimate hope is in Jesus Christ. It is through His name that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If your request did not intend to give glory to Jesus Christ, we strongly urge that you acknowledge Jesus Christ in prayer.
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Ruth to You. We thank You for her life and for the love she has shown to Poamond. We ask, Lord, that You would heal her from cancer. Guide the doctors and medical professionals, giving them wisdom and skill as they treat her. Restore her body, Lord, and give her strength to endure this trial.
But more importantly, Lord, we pray for Ruth's spiritual health. Draw her close to You, Father, and give her a deep and abiding faith in Jesus Christ. We pray that this trial would be used for Your glory and for her good, that she may know You more deeply and trust You more fully.
We also pray for Poamond, Lord. Give them comfort and peace during this time. Help them to trust in You and to cast all their anxieties on You, knowing that You care for them.
In all things, Lord, we ask that Your will be done. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
Poamond, we encourage you to continue praying fervently for Ruth, trusting that God hears your prayers. Remember the words of James 5:16, "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results."
Lastly, we want to remind you that even in suffering, God is faithful. As it is written in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust that God is working, even in this difficult time.
