Restore Health, O Lord


Restore Health, O Lord

Lord, be with my wife as she is in the radiation room right now. I pray that just the right amount of radiation would go in to kill any bad cells. I pray that you’d help her to not have the fatigue or lose her salivary glands. Lord, fill her prayers for South Africa while she is in there. Bless service tonight and our drive home together. Lord, please show me some sort of a vision for my wife, not from my own making or fears or hopes but from You. I pray you’d harvest all of the tares from the field of her neck. I pray they could eat nothing in sight like a locust on a field, I pray that you’d shoo them away.

Lord, my wife has considered the possibility of not surviving as she has been thought about the future, for she is so small and weak compared to this vicious cancer, but Lord, You are bigger. Lord, if You have a plan to take her life and you were to relent of it, would you do this for the good, for the best of everyone and everything? Lord I pray for this devouring fire, that seems to be consuming the land, that fire of radiation that is for healing but is also a fire of burning and damaging, I pray that you’d extinguish the effects of this fire. I pray like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, she’d not smell like smoke, that the after effects wouldn’t stay on her. So Lord, would you please stop this vicious enemy. Lord, I pray that your testing as by fire would only prove that Maureen is walking the straight line and

that Your love for her would show forth. I pray that You wouldn’t ignore this situation and that You’d shine forth and bring this thing to a sudden end.

Lord, expose and deter all plots against Maureen and myself. And Lord, those who would speak incorrectly about us, (about health or otherwise) that any false words would be intolerable to You, whether the enemy says, “aha, aha, I’ve got her in my clutches, or aha, aha I’ve got him in my clutches.” Lord, I pray that you’d deliver her from this exile land like Patmos. May my wife go forward in her life, forgetting those things which are behind and pressing toward the things ahead, that she could bear this present cross because of that which is to come (which she seemingly doesn’t really know about yet). May she bother and disturb the kingdom of darkness to the utmost. May she come forth as gold and worship Your holy name. She has been prepared in the spirit to go through this, but neither one of us have been trained by a book to know here… what to do, so I pray that we’d have Your guidance.

For the realm of darkness that doesn’t want to hear my wife preaching the truth anymore, even righteously dealing with the sins of your people in truth, I pray she wouldn’t be stopped. I pray that my wife would be ripe and ready for a healing for a miracle from You. O Lord, turn my wife’s weeping into singing. May this bitter day quickly turn into a day of rejoicing. May my wife be blessed in the hearing of words from the Lord, like she did today in that verse she text to me, that was underlined in her bible and she didn’t remember ever underlining it. May my wife not grow weary or faint hearted in this battle, may she stand strong in the strength of the Lord.

“For I will restore health unto thee and I will heal thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.” Jeremiah 30:17 KJV

Lord, bring your shaking to this situation, shake those things that need to be shaken that those things that are more permanent might remain. May she escape and survive as did Rahab receive sparing because of her good works toward the spies. Bring your help, from this enemy that has bitten her, and that any hiding, microscopic enemies will be annihilated. Make them melt away. Show how awesome You are Lord in this.

Lord, as you watch and see everything, may you bring them out! As you are sifting herself and myself, dear Lord, may our faith not fail, not even for a moment, that we would not waver, but bring glory to You.

I know bad things happen to righteous people and we ourselves suffer, even greatly, but Lord, please repair the damaged walls of her life. Any ruins that are occurring in this fire, I pray that You Yourself would restore, and lift her from a fallen countenance and heart. Rebuild her better and stronger, and restore her former glory that she has seen before the Adenoid Cystic Carsinoma, and in pictures prior to surgery. Lord, cause her life to drip with the sweet wine of your Spirit, as you are presently allowing the fermentation process in her life. 

Firmly plant her and may she never be uprooted in Jesus name amen.
