Morning Prayer for Family Dealing with Cancer

Being stricken with an incurable sickness, such as cancer, is one of the toughest trials in life that a family can face. No one ever wants to see someone suffer from cancer, not even your worst enemy. Cancers and all other diseases are the works of the devil (The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10), and it is God’s desire to heal every sickness and disease in the name of Jesus.

As you are here looking for a morning prayer for a family dealing with cancer, whether it is your family or someone else’s family close to you, may God bless your compassionate heart. Your prayers are helpful and powerful enough to impact the family in need.

You can say a morning prayer in this manner:

Heavenly Father, thank You for this new day. As I lift unto You a family dealing with cancer, thank You for the healing and victory through Christ Jesus. You are sovereign over this situation, and we can fully trust in Your perfect will. I declare the restoration of health, finances, and wellness to the family, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

God is never the author of sicknesses and diseases. Jesus Christ came to heal every disease in the Gospel. Even the most incurable ones, such as leprosy, He was able to touch and heal those afflicted. 

As a believer of Christ and a child of God, our walk must be in the same manner as Jesus Christ. He gave us the authority to cast out the works of the enemy in people’s lives and heal the sick. 

“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8

You can also pray for a family dealing with cancer in this manner: 

In Jesus’ name, I rebuke cancer upon this family! I declare healing, peace, and the victory of Christ upon their situation. Amen!

What do you say to a family dealing with cancer?

Saying a morning prayer for a family dealing with cancer is sometimes enough. Prayers are the best gift during trying times, as only God’s presence can bring peace and comfort to one’s mind and heart.

That being said, words are still needed when a person or a family is going through tough times, such as cancer. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Your words of encouragement, sharing of the Gospel, public prayers, and declarations can strongly impact a family who is going through rough times. You can say, “I’m just here when you need me,” or “Your family is in my daily prayers,” and that may be enough to enlighten a downhearted soul. Sometimes, silence and just your presence will also be enough.

Partner with the Holy Spirit in these things. He will lead you to speak the right words and know when to speak in a way that makes your words powerful and impactful. 

How do you uplift someone with cancer?

Saying a morning prayer for a family or individual dealing with cancer is different from uplifting the actual person dealing with cancer. We know how illnesses can cause fear, doubts, and anxiety not just to the family but to the sick one.

Thus, uplifting someone with cancer means speaking life, the peace of God, and words that empower faith in Jesus Christ. You can share stories of healing in the Gospel and constantly remind the person that there is healing and hope in Christ Jesus. Isaiah 26:3 says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” The more this person’s mind is fixed on Christ, the more peace can come upon their soul, and that is all that matters.

Whether the person with cancer gets healed or not, it doesn’t matter, as Christ is all that matters. Life here on earth is nothing but temporary, and everyone eventually comes to face death at some point in life, but Jesus Christ brings eternal life. And in Him, we can have peace, joy, hope, and the assurance of salvation. 

We declare healing and the victory of Christ upon your life; may God bless you and keep you, in Jesus’ name.
