A Cheer Me up Prayer for Lady with Cancer

Cheering up someone with cancer can be challenging. No one feels good about having a terminal illness, and joy can be challenging to find when a person is in such a situation. So, as a child of God, how can you pray for someone dear to your heart when they have cancer? The Bible says joy is a fruit of the Spirit (see Galatians 5:22-23). It is the Holy Spirit who produces joy in all circumstances of life. You can pray in this manner for your friend:

Heavenly Father, I lift to you (name of the person), who is battling cancer right now. Thank You for Your mercy and grace upon her life; I know that You will never leave or forsake her. I pray that the Holy Spirit produces joy in her and lets her see Your goodness in all circumstances. I speak complete healing upon her life in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Another way you can pray for someone battling cancer is by commanding sickness to leave and asking for the joy of the Holy Spirit to fill them. Proverbs 18:21 says that death and life are in the power of the tongue. Therefore, you can command death to cancer and life for your loved one. Here is an example:

In Jesus’ name, I rebuke this cancer and command it to leave my friend’s body right now! I speak life, healing, and restoration upon her. Thank You, Father, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Moreover, you can also pray the Scripture for your friend’s life. Nothing is as powerful as praying and declaring the Scriptures, the very Words of God. We know He is faithful to His Word and never breaks His promises. When your friend is battling cancer, you can think of Scriptures that assure her of good hope and a bright future, such as Jeremiah 29:11, or those declaring God’s sovereignty in all situations, such as Romans 8:28. You can pray the Scriptures like this:

Heavenly Father, thank You for granting my friend a wonderful future and a hope in You. You never intended to harm her or plan evil against her in any way. Whatever she may be going through right now, I am confident that You are able to work all things together for good because she loves You. I declare healing and command cancer to leave her body right now, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Know that your prayers are powerful and effective because Christ’s righteousness is in you. God hears your prayers and your intercessions for those who are sick, floating up to Him like incense to His throne of grace.

How do you cheer up someone with cancer?

Other than praying for joy and healing to come upon someone who is battling cancer, another question is how to cheer up someone with cancer? Cancer can cause distress, discouragement and a blurry future for someone afflicted by it, so it can be challenging to cheer them up or expect them to be cheerful, lively, and joyful.

However, as you are a carrier of God’s anointing and presence of the Lord, you have the Holy Spirit in you, who produces love, joy, peace, kindness, and the goodness of God. He is constant and faithful to who He is, no matter the circumstance, no matter where you go. Therefore, your presence alone can bring peace and joy to someone you know who has cancer.

Here are some ways that you can cheer up a person with cancer:

1. You can pay them a visit at the hospital or home. Nothing brings more comfort and joy than to be with someone you love physically.
2. You can tell them you are with them on this journey and always cheering for their recovery.
3. You can tell them that you are praying for them.
4. You can pray for them if they let you; then you can speak and decree the Word of God and words of life and healing.
5. You can spend time with them watching a good comedy on your laptop, iPad, or cellphone.
6. You can read them amazing testimonies of God healing cancer patients. Testimonies repeat themselves, and this is a great way to encourage and cheer up someone by showing them what others have overcome.
7. You can play the guitar and sing a worship song to fill their room with God’s presence.
8. You can play worship music if you’re not confident with your singing skill and simply want to change the space into heaven’s atmosphere around them.

These are great ways to cheer up a dear one battling cancer. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you into this, and He will never fail you in your desire to be a blessing to that person.

What do you say to someone battling cancer?

There’s no guarantee that your words can comfort and cheer up a person who has received the news that they have cancer, or are in the midst of the battle. At times, your presence and prayers alone are all that matter to that person. Words often cannot suffice to alleviate the pain they may be going through. However, this doesn’t mean that you should remain silent. So what do you say to someone who is battling cancer?

As a Christian, it’s very important that the Holy Spirit leads you in words and in deeds. Therefore, as you allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in what you say to someone going through cancer, you want to make sure that you are speaking of life, encouragement, hope, and comforting words, and if you are led to, you can even read the Scripture to that person, reminding them of the promises of God for their life. Your goal is to uplift their soul by sowing words of faith rooted in Christ Jesus.

Here are some Scriptures that can be very encouraging, comforting, and life-giving to someone battling cancer:
