Gracious and Loving Father,
We bring before You our dear friend, a beloved child of Yours, who is currently walking through the shadow of a severe illness. Diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, she is bravely facing the trials that come with this disease, along with the side effects of her treatments. With two small children to care for, her burden is heavy, and she is in dire need of Your loving intervention and comfort.
"Lord, You are our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)
We humbly ask for Your healing hands to be upon her, to touch her body with Your powerful spirit of healing and restoration. May You ease the pain and discomfort brought by her illness and the treatments, and may You provide her with the peace that surpasses all understanding.
"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:24)
Surround her and her family with a community of love and support, that they may feel Your presence through the care of others. Strengthen her faith and give her moments of joy and laughter amidst the trials, for these gifts are like medicine to a weary soul.
"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." (Proverbs 17:22)
Provide for their every need, Lordβphysically, emotionally, and spiritually. Protect her children, and give them moments of carefree happiness despite the circumstances, trusting in You for their motherβs care and for their future.
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7)
May this difficult journey bring them closer to You, Lord, finding solace in Your promises and faithfulness. We pray for a miracle, for comfort, and for endurance, trusting in Your will and Your timing.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray,
Amen.
