Praying for the Cure—for Comfort and Healing From Cancer

DAY 7 OF 7

All Things Work Together

My child, I have power and authority over your path to wellness. I have many ways to heal, but My methods and timing are not always predictable. I can heal through physicians, surgeons, renewed mindsets, common sense, or a direct touch from My Spirit. However healing comes, it’s never up to you to decide how or when. I alone am the One who heals.

I give you wise physicians that prescribe medications to destroy mutated cells, kill harmful organisms, and regulate body systems. My surgeons remove diseased tissues and repair defective organs. I provide counselors and ministers of inner healing to deliver you from spiritual strongholds, wrong mindsets, and wounds from your past that can destroy your physical health. When you forgive and release bitterness, I can rewire your old toxic thought processes and cause your body, soul, and mind to be healed and restored. I also gave you a sound mind to make healthy choices, and I established natural laws for health and wellness. At anytime, I can bypass these natural methods and heal you supernaturally through the power of My Spirit. However you receive healing, there is no second class outcome. Being healed miraculously is no more spiritual than being healed medically. Healing by any method is a blessing from Me, the God who heals.

Child, you are dependent on Me for your every breath. Never let your trust move subtly to the doctors, their drugs, or your own strength instead of Me, for I am sovereign over all. I am the One power without limits that can never be destroyed. I will walk you through the tension when your circumstances don't appear to line up with My healing promises. And here is My greatest promise of all—I always heal eternally. Surrender to my plans and purpose for your life. I am the Healer, and I make all things work together for good.

Lord, surviving this cancer is not dependent on how tough I am, the expertise of my doctors, or the power of the drugs they give me. This battle is fought, not by force or strength, but by your Spirit alone. I’m sorry when I’ve taken my eyes off of You and put all my trust in the world’s weapons and my own strength. Thank you for being on my side of this battle. Help me to trust in your strength and power to heal.
