Prayer for Cancer day

Healing God,
all of us know people who have been touched by cancer. Sometimes it's been those closest to our hearts. Often it's been a neighbor, a co-worker or someone in our community
It has affected and changed the lives of every family among us.When we look around we can name so many who have felt the pain of cancer's grip.

As a family of faith, a community of believers, we lift our voices together on this day to announce our hope that with every new day before us there will be better news about this disease in our midst.

We pray for those who will be diagnosed, to find strength to deal with the news.We pray for those who are making difficult decisions, to find guidance and discernment. We pray for those who are feeling weak and who don't know if they can go on, to find strength and encouragement.

We pray for those who are anxious, lonely or scared, to find reassurance that they are in your caring hands and not left to face this alone.We pray for those who are in healing professions, to find the wisdom and direction they need to help bring renewed life to those they serve. We pray for those who give care at home, to find the compassion, understanding and energy they need to support those they know and love.

Most of all, we pray for everyone living with cancer to know the tremendous power of your healing love. We ask that encouragement and hope be with them intimately on this journey. Uplift them. Bring peace to them. Carry them. Deliver them. Let them know that they are loved

Instill in them a spirit that is positive.

Bring the truth to them that will bless them and set them free to live well and to place their lives in you.
In your good and gracious name Jesus, we pray. Amen.
