Prayer For Cancer Diagnosis

Lord, Your Word is the true medicine that heals. It is the source of my hope and my every breath. Help me to listen carefully and never lose sight of Your Word through the distractions of the world. Lord, I want Your word to penetrate the depths of my heart. I want to live by Your word and receive all the benefits of knowing You. Thank You that Your word brings life and healing to my whole body.


God, You had a simple plan to save me. Thank You that my faith alone makes me right in Your sight! Unlike all other religions, I don't have to do anything to earn my salvation. Help me to accept and believe that this cancer is not the result of my not doing enough to be a good person, or falling short of Your standard. My relationship is made right with You from start to finish, only by believing and trusting in You. Thank You that I am made righteous by faith alone. Thank You for coming to save me.


Lord, my eternal relationship with You began from the moment I first believed. I don't need to work for it, and I don't need to hope it will come to pass someday. My life in You is a done deal. It is not based on my feelings, my struggles, or even this cancer. I have life only because I have You! In You, I live and move and have my very existence. Thank You for Your assurance that I am Your child and You will never leave or forsake me. Help me to comprehend what this new life in You actually means, through good times and bad, in health and in sickness. Thank You, Lord, the Giver of Life!


Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Living God, You breathe in us, / On all that is inadequate and fragile, /

You make living water spring even from our hurts themselves. And through You, the valley of tears becomes a place of wellsprings. / So, in an inner life / With neither beginning nor end,

Your continual presence / Makes new freshness break through.


O Lord, Your mercies are new to me every day! I give You thanks for the renewing of my health, for the relief from pain and worry. Continue Your healing within me, that I may return to the work You have given me to do for You. Through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.


In the house made of dawn. In the story made of dawn. On the trail of dawn. O, Talking God.

His feet, my feet, restore. His limbs, my limbs, restore. His body, my body, restore. His mind, my mind, restore. His voice, my voice, restore. His plumes, my plumes, restore.


O our Father, the Sky, hear us and make us strong. O our Mother the Earth, hear us

and give us support. O Spirit of the South, may we tread your path of life. O Spirit of the West,

may we always be ready for the long journey. O Spirit of the North, purify us with your cleansing winds.


Dear Lord, I am so worried as I have been diagnosed with cancer and I am frightened. I know that You are a God who can heal, but I pray that whatever happens in my life, You will give me Your peace and Your strength to face the future, knowing that all things work together for good to those that are Your children. Lord, I am Your child and I trust You in all areas of my life, including this illness. Thank You, that I can cast all my worry on You,
Amen.
