Cancer (2)

Of all the options before me for today, this time alone with you is the only appealing one.  Father, take control of this day.  I give you my time, my calendar, my schedule and my agenda.  Help me to rise to the challenges of things I don’t want to do.  Help me to put the stress of the undone things behind me and checked off the to-do-list that makes my shoulders sag.  I’m drowning when I should be walking on water.  Take my hand and let me walk up there with you where it’s safe and dry.
 

Holy Spirit, I push away all my own “stuff” and empty myself before you.  Use me as your intercessor.  Fill me with your love and compassion for those in need.  Help me to touch them in prayer and in practical ways. 

Lord, I pray for those who face the challenge of cancer.  I lift up my personal friend, those within my family, those within my circles and all those that you love.  Deliver us from the ravages of cancer.  Heal us. 

In the name of Jesus, I take control of our health care out of the hands of drug companies, insurance companies, legislators and doctors – and I give it all to you.  You created us.  You know best how to fix us.  Use these other entities as your tools under your controlling hand.  Make a way where there is no way.  Bring us victory over cancer now, in Jesus’ name.

Holy Spirit, I ask you to raise up a powerful army of serious, intentional intercessors who will do battle against cancer.  Call out your special forces.  Empower them with divine faith.  Give them the tactical strategy to be swift and effective. 

Lord, change the things about our culture, our diet, our atmosphere and other factors that cause cancer.  Bring us back in line with your divine and healthy design.   Fix the source.  Stop the cancer.  In Jesus’ name we pray and agree.

We lay hold of the promise of abundant  life in Christ Jesus.  Teach us to walk in what you've already provided.  Help us to do what we already know and to learn the important things we are missing.

Fill us with anticipation of victorious testimonies.  Help us to witness the manifestation of your healing power. 

We worship you, our Creator and Healer.  There is none like you.
