Cancer is taking so many people away from us. It’s taking our family members, our friends, our animals, our co-workers, our co-worshipers and school children. It is a horrible disease that claims the lives of so many.
It seems like every week there is someone else that I learn has cancer. And it seems like I hear about higher numbers of people each week. It’s not just one per week anymore. It’s several.
Looking at projections in the time frame of 2012-2030, worldwide cancer cases are projected to increase by 50% from 14 million to 21 million. Worldwide cancer deaths are projected to increase by 60% from 8 million to 13 million. Source: cancer.gov.
Here at The Horse Mafia®, I pray for cancer patients every day. I know so many people who have been affected or they have a loved one that is affected. I wish I could hug all cancer patients and tell them that I love them and don’t give up. Even though I cannot hug them physically, I can hug them with a prayer.
Prayer for Cancer Patients: Dear Lord, I pray for all people who are dealing with cancer. Touch them and their families with Your healing touch. Surround them with Your love, strength, courage and hope. May they have Your wisdom in seeking and finding the right treatments. Bless the doctors, nurses and medical personnel and guide and direct them in caring for their patients. If they ever begin to believe that You have left them, please wrap them in Your arms so that they know You love them and You have not left them. I pray that you remove every cancerous cell from their bodies. Give them new energy and restore their hope. I also pray for the families of the patients. Give them Your strength and help them carry on. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen. ~Charity M. Richey-Bentley

Thank you for your prayers. My husband is in Stage 4 liver cancer and it has spread to his lung. It is hard on him and very hard on me to watch him go through this. He has never really been to doctors because he has been real active all his life. He is 60 years old and has been diagnosed a year ago, with Stage 3a liver cancer and stage 2 kidney cancer. They removed his kidney and he is doing well with that but the liver cancer despite all the different treatments has gotten worse. Please keep him and our family in your prayers. Thank you.
