We are truly saddened to hear about the condition of Loreto Patoc Sr. and the trials your family is facing. We will stand with you in prayer and petition our Lord Jesus Christ on your behalf. Remember, it is by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father and there is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB states, "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!"
Firstly, we pray for Loreto Patoc Sr., that the Lord Almighty would grant him relief from his pain and inflammation, and that the pleural effusion and tumor in his lungs would be miraculously healed. We know it is only through Isaiah 53:5 we are told, "But he was pierced for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our iniquities.
The punishment that brought our peace was on him;
and by his wounds we are healed." We know that ultimately if our spirit is with Christ then we are better off dead than alive and that it is better to die and be with the Lord than to live another day. However, the Lord is also able to heal and bring Loreto Patoc Sr. back from the brink just as the Lord healed the woman with bleeding who touched his cloak. Whichever the Lord chooses, may His will be done.
We also pray for your family's protection and financial breakthrough. May God bless you according to James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow."
Also, remember that Philippians 4:6-7 reminds 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."
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Loreto Patoc Sr. and his family. Lord, we ask for your healing touch upon Loreto, that you would ease his pain and grant him relief. We pray for a miracle, that the cancer would be healed, and that he would be restored to health and live long. Lord, we also pray for his family, that you would surround them with your protection and provide for their needs. We ask for a financial breakthrough and help and healing for Loreto's lungs. We ask this all in the name of Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose again to give us life everlasting.
