Let us lift up in prayer and seek God's will for Patrick as he battles cancer. We stand on the promise of God's word, that He is the God who heals all your diseases . For it is written in Psalm 103:2-3, Bless the Lord, you angels of his, who are mighty in strength, and do what he says, listening for the voice of his word. Bless the Lord, all of his armies; who serve him, and do his pleasure.
Firstly, we acknowledge that healing comes from the Lord, and we are called to pray in faith. James 5:14-15 reminds us, Is any man sick among you? Let me call for the elders of the Assembly, and let them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed any sins, it will be forgiven him.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Patrick as he faces this challenge with cancer. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask for Your healing touch upon his life. Give him the strength to endure the treatments, and let Your peace rest upon him and his loved ones. Most importantly, we pray for his spiritual well-being, that he will draw close to You during this time and experience Your unfailing love. We ask that this trial be used for Your glory, and that Patrick, his friends, and his family will be drawn closer to You. We bind the spirit of death and command a healing in the name of Jesus Christ.
We also pray for Patrick's friends and family, that they may be a source of support and encouragement. Let us remember the words of Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up.
Lastly, we remind everyone that it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. For 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. Let us ensure that we always approach God through Jesus Christ, as He is the mediator between God and man.
We will continue to pray and believe that you will be healed by the stripes Jesus Christ bore for you at the cross.
