Prayer Request for a Good Friend's Mother
Prayer Request | 15 January 2009 | Self

Posted on 01/15/2009 6:21:45 AM PST by Allegra

The dear mother of one of my close friends and co-workers needs our prayers.

This lovely Catholic widow is the beloved mother of 11 children from a very close family. She has recently had medical tests come back that revealed something that is likely cancerous in her lung, as well as a couple of questionable appearances in her heart cavity and spine. ( am not good at medical terminology.)

Marcella is lively, energetic and full of life. When her youngest daughter of the same name (my friend and co-worker) proposed that the two of them meet up in Italy last fall, the daughter didn't have to ask twice. Mom was packed and on that plane in a blink and had no problem running all over that country for a little over two weeks.

I hear that she is handling this news very well and taking a very positive approach.

Please include Marcella and her family in your prayers for complete healing and for comfort and strength for her family.

Please also send prayers for the youngest daughter and my close friend (also named Marcella) who is here in Iraq having to deal with this from far away. Please pray for her to have strength and peace. Thank you, prayer warriors.

May the Lord touch both of these beloved Moms, raising them up to bring Glory and Honor to His Name. And may each family find comfort in this Healing Confession, written for a stricken wife by her husband, and said daily unto the time when she was completely restored to health. And may it be so ...

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.”

Dear FRiend, we have seen the miracles in the past few weeks, the answers to prayers of the prayer warriors here for my concerns. God is SO GOOD!

Taking up prayer for Marcella immediately, and her healing, for the comfort and peace of the entire family.

The President tonight thanked us for the prayers, that they lifted his spirit. These are the prayers of strangers. I know first hand that he is right, and that in magnificently adventuring to Italy, the two Marcellas were right also. This stranger, and friend, will pray at Mass for them, that the living and loving they share lifts their spirits through whatever faces them.
