Prayers needed for couple both facing cancer.
Me | Vanity

Posted on 08/04/2008 8:33:48 PM PDT by infool7

My cousin Kevin and his wife Lane are experiencing simultaneous major medical problems. Lane has been caring for Kevin since one of his kidneys failed this spring, his condition has worsened and he has been diagnosed with a form of leukemia (Myelodysplasia with refractory anemia with excess blast) and now Lane has been diagnosed with colon cancer. Please keep them both in your prayers as they struggle under this double burden. My cousin Cathy is on her way to help and could use prayers for strength also.

Well...tell them to hang in there. My family is double-hit as well with my son and I. And we know another family through a support group where the mom and son both are battling.

This is the time to lean on the rock of Christ and read the Bible every day. God promises his children eternal joy and healing in the world to come. And in the dark moments we must try to remember that all that we experience here will be small compared to what awaits.

If they haven’t done so yet, I recommend they create a caringbridge website — at www.caringbridge.org — this is a way to keep family and friends up to date. But is has been an amazing source of blessing in our lives as we meet others who are ill and join a mutual prayer circle.

Prayers for your relatives...

Is it rare to have two family members with cancer? My first thought is an environmental condition.

My prayers to both of you.

Heavenly Father, may the prayer of the Healing Confession be of great encouragement and comfort to Kevin and Lane and ER and son ... we thank You for the husband who penned these words for his beloved wife, Patsy, and we thank You for his faithfulness in prayer unto the time of her return to vibrant health. May it be so for these dear ones, O Lord, with strength for Cathy and all those who minister to their hurting families.

HEALING CONFESSION

Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Living Word. You said that Your Word is Life to those who find it and medicine to all their flesh. Today, by my confession, I apply Your Word to our body by giving voice to it. You said in Psalm 139:14 that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and that Your works are marvelous. I declare that You made us and we are a marvelous creation.

I speak to sickness and disease today and proclaim that according to Philippians 2:10 that they must bow down to the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every name in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth bows its knee to Jesus’ name.

I speak to our body today and declare that we have authority over it. I command it to receive the Word of God. Matthew 8:17 proclaims that Jesus bore our sickness and took our infirmities. Heavenly Father, I thank you that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us and makes alive our mortal body.

I speak to our immune system and command it to line up with the Word of God. Our immune system will destroy sickness and disease in our body and perform its job, for this is what You created it to do. I thank you, Father, that every cell in our body responds to Your Word. Your Word permeates our body from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet. I confess that the Word of God is being made flesh in us. Psalm 103:3 declares that You, Father, forgave all our iniquities and healed all our diseases. Father, that is Your confession and I make it my confession, also. We don't judge by the sight of our eyes; we judge by Your Living Word. It is Your Word that lives in us and brings health and healing to every part of our body.

Heavenly Father, I rejoice at Your promise of divine health. You said it and I believe it. Today I declare that we will see Your promise of healing manifest in our body.

Healing is ours because Jesus paid the price two thousand years ago. God so loved us that He sent His Son to die on the cross so that we could experience life on God's terms. His abundant life is manifesting in us. Make us whole ~ body, soul, and spirit. Amen ...

Psalm 118:17-18 ~ “I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord. The Lord has chastened me sorely, but he has not given me over to death.”

My prayers for this couple is that God will supplant their anguish with understanding, their hurt with love, and their fear with courage fostered on faith.

May the Lord Jesus Christ walk with them through this ordeal.

I join my prayer with all those that are praying for your cousins. THere is power in prayer. If we pray in faith an in the name of Jesus that name above every name. He is the great physician. He said ask and shall be given. He said pray for sick among you. He said lay hand on the sick and ask the Father in my name.

Now that we have asked, we can just thank our Lord for the answer.

In Jesus Name, Amen

I lift them up to the God who made them and loves them both. The One who gave them to each other knows His plans for their lives.

if we may, Father, ask You for healing and for hope, that they may endure in the land of the living. We ask it in Jesus name...

Saint Peregrine - Patron Saint of Cancer Patients

A Prayer to St. Peregrine for Sick Relatives and Friends

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty", "The Wonder Worker" because
of the numerous miracles which you obtained from God for those who have turned to you in
their need. For so many years, you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys
the very fiber of our being.

You turned to God when the power of human beings could do no more, and you were favored
with the vision of Jesus coming down from His cross to heal your affliction. I now ask God to
heal these sick persons whom I entrust to you:

(here mention their names)

Aided by your powerful intercession, I shall sing with Mary a hymn of gratitude
to God for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.

A Prayer to St. Peregrine for One Suffering from Cancer

Dear St. Peregrine, I need your help. I feel so uncertain of my life right now.
This serious illness makes me long for a sign of God's love.
Help me to imitate your enduring faith when you faced the ugliness of cancer and surgery.
Allow me to trust the Lord the way you did in this moment of distress.

I want to be cured, but right now I ask God for the strength to bear the cross in my life.
I seek the power to proclaim God's presence in my life despite the hardship,
anguish and fear I now experience.

O Glorious St. Peregrine, be an inspiration to me and petitioner of those needed
graces from our loving Father. Amen.

Cancer is limited ...

It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot shut out memories
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce eternal life,
It cannot quench the spirit,
It cannot lessen the power
of the Resurrection.
