We've been dealing with this for the past year and it's been a bittersweet work of God in our lives. I have placed my son in God's hands and I don't ask for his cancer to be cured, even though that would satisfy my earthly desires. I do, however, ask that my son allow himself to be touched and used by God in a powerful way in the time he has left on this earth, however long that may be. He does have a strong faith, but he is very hesitant to put himself out there and allow his story to show how amazing God has been. Please pray that his faith would be transformed in a way that would bring light and life to those that need it, bringing glory to God. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
(I know you are curious about our approach to cancer, even though this post is not what this is about. We are throwing everything at it, including all of the alternative things mentioned here from time to time.)
Heavenly Father, you created this son and placed him in this family. We ask that your pour out your incredible grace and mercy on him. Bring every cell to attention, to hear the frequency of your declarations over his life. Your book of life, written for him, shall be fulfilled. May he know in his heart and mind that you are real and deeply love him. Surround his whole family in your mighty power.Amen.
I love this prayer. Thank you!
That prayer gave me goosebumps ๐
