A Prayer for Cancer
Dear Lord, cancer is a mystery and a
darkness we do not understand.
Help us to face that mystery and darkness
with courage and strength.
Uphold us as we walk into that mystery
and darkness with your loving arms.
Break the darkness with your heavenly light.
Light the way with comfort for those
who have suffered loss.
Light the way with strength and
closeness for families as they cope
Light the way with wisdom and discernment
for those who administer care.
Light the way with knowledge for those seeking the cure.
Light the way with compassion and
tenderness for all those touched by this illness.
Help us not to let the uncertainty of the future
rob us from the joy of the present.
Teach us to live each moment to the fullest.
Mystery can lead to wonder,
and wonder into joy
~Amen
Thank you,
ma
