Praying for Kim
I get to spend some special time today with my friend Kim. We used to be next-door-neighbors, too. I'm really looking forward to it, although I wish we were going shopping or doing something fun instead of what we have planned.

Today we are going to the Cancer center for Kim to meet with her doctor about a new tumor they found. Kim was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer two years ago and this week she found out there is a tumor on the back of her eye.

Two years ago when they found Kim's cancer, it had spread throughout her body in her bones. She had several tumors in her spine, her pelvic bones, legs and shoulders. Immediately they started radiation, chemotherapy, and all kinds of treatment to shrink and block the cancer from spreading.

Kim has been fighting and praying hard to win the battle. I have been amazed by her strength and grace, and absolute dependence on God. Her faith in Him inspires me! She has grown to such a tender and believing place in who He is and how much she can trust Him.

I've watched this mother of three constantly point her children to God for hope and encouragement. I've seen her be present for them like He is for her. More than anything she wants her kids to know that God is always with them and has a plan for their lives.

I have to admit that it has been so hard to watch a friend go through so much suffering. I cry out to God almost daily for a miracle. I ask "why" and wonder what His plan is in allowing a mom of three children - 4, 7 and 12 - to go through this with them watching and wondering. They are so worried about their mom and so sad to see her feeling so sick. And Michael, her husband, so wants to fix it as any man would.

Kim has been in tremendous pain and her discomfort has increased due to more tumors in her spine and other bones. She also has some small tumors on her liver they are watching.

I've been praying for ways to encourage and bless Kim and her family. Mother's Day is coming and I wanted to do something really special for her. I know the greatest gift I can give is prayer, God's promises and loving on her family!

So, today I wanted to see if you will help me bless Kim. Will you join me in praying for Kim, her husband Michael, and her kids Jessica, Grace and Matthew?

And would you be willing to leave a prayer for them (maybe with a promise) in the comments below. I will print them and put them in a keepsake box. I want them to know that people from all over are lifting them up and believing God for healing and miraculous hope no matter what the future holds. This will mean so much to her (and me too)!

"Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished." Luke 1:45

Help them to not feel alone, or unloved by You. You are the great healer, please send your healing touch on this beautiful woman Kim.

Father God, may Your perfect love and healing touch permeate Kim's body, mind and heart right now. May Your perfect peace keep she and her family trusting in You. May they continually gaze upon the beauty of Your face. May they fix their hearts and eyes on You and Your eternal glory. Let them taste and see Your goodness moment by moment.

1 Cor. 4:16-18
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Looking unto Him for you,
Sharon

Dear Lord, I lift up your daughter Kim today, and ask you to grant her peace, comfort and healing. Guide the hands of the doctors to know exactly how best to treat her, and if it is your will Lord, we ask you to heal her of her cancer. Please be with her children and husband as they go through this very difficult and scary time, and help them all be able to see little glimpses of you throughout this hard journey. Be their strength and their energy to keep pushing forward. We praise you for Kims faith and for the role model that she is to her children even despite her circumstances. I pray for a peace to enter the hearts of the children so that they will not worry but instead treasure every moment with their sweet mom.

For When I AM Weak, Then You Are Strong.

Father, I come tonight on behalf of a sister in need. Her name is Kim, you know her pain. Lord, you know every location and degree of this cancer. Please be with her and ease it, touch her in only a way that you can do. If it be your will heal her from it and let it leave her body.
Her loving husband Michael, and children Jessica, Grace and Matthew stand ready to do anything to make her life better. Give them comfort and insight on how to help her. Children don’t understand it when mommies get sick. Comfort them Lord, surround their home with a hedge of extra protection and comfort that only You can provide. In her strength allow Kim to be all she can be to serve you. Please Father calm her heart and her fears. It is your perfect planning Renee is her friend. How wonderful she is to give her these messages for Mother’s Day.
We praise you for all you have done for us, in your name we pray. Amen.

This absolutely breaks my heart. I have two friend with terminal breast cancer, however they are both single ladies in their early 50's. Still. I pray for them regularly.

But to be a mommy and go through this is unthinkable.

"Father,
I ask for your mercy on Kim. Your Word declares that by the stripes of Jesus we ARE healed. Please touch her and heal her from the top of her head to the souls of her feet.

Pour out your Spirit on Kim and her husband and children today. Grant grace, strength and joy in the midst of this difficult journey. Most of all God, I ask that your manifest presence will be with them all every moment. In Jesus mighty name, Amen."

Kim, "He that is in you is greater than anything without."
God's plans are to prosper you & not harm you, to give you hope and a future."
When you pass through the waters, God will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not
overflow you; when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon you."
Our God is a miracle working God.
Eat lots of plant foods, cut out dairy, meats etc. and trust God.
I have a friend whose cancer had spread throughout his body. The Doctors gave him 3 months to live.
This is now10years gone, he went back to work, all by changing his diet to plant foods.

I received this prayer chain e-mail a couple of days ago and wanted to share it with Kim:

"May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not
forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."

God bless you, your strong faith and your family always :)

Dear Heavenly Father, right now I lift up Kim, Michael, Jessica, Grace and Matthew. Father we come to You as the Great Physician and Maker and Healer. We know that if it be Your desire, with just a word You could touch Kim's body and remove every cancer cell. I pray for her healing Lord, yet I also pray for Your will to be done. Romans 8:26 reminds us "in the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." May Your Spirit take my feeble words and present this request before Your throne of grace. I pray that you will provide the strength to endure, the peace to comfort, and Your presence and love to overflow in this family. Father, may they fix their minds on You so that doubt, disappointment and despair cannot, and will not, cause them to feel forgotten or abandoned. May they know and experience Your Hand guiding and guarding their way. Lord give divine wisdom to the doctors and physicians who are administering Kim's care. May all medical treatment be done with excellence. Father, I ask that You would restore Kim's body completely. Lord, take this families fear, uncertainty, anxiety and replace it with Your peace that passes understanding. Be very real to each one. Infuse each one with courage. Your Word says, "For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help." Thank You Lord for listening to our cry for help. I place Kim and her family in Your hands, knowing that there is no better place to be. Let them experience You like never before and know Your love. I trust You Lord, and praise You now for all that You are going to do. Amen.

Psalm 71:20-21
Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.

Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Jeremiah 30:17
"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds," declares the LORD.

Ephesians 3:20-21
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

Dear Kim,

I have typed two encouraging and prayers for you and lots of promises from God to stand on and each time I try to send them my computer locks up. I know this is spiritual warfare! Third times a charm... God will see to it! Please know that you are in my prayers and I am bombarding heaven for you sweet sister in Christ. Keep your eyes on Him. Trust Him, His timing, expect complete healing, believe and don't doubt, keep your faith high readind and believing His promises to YOU! He is holding you in His arms and will never leave you. What a testimony you will have to share when you get the victory. My son's friend who is 15 yrs. old just got his victory of "no cancer" after chemo and radical surgery at such a tender age. God is on the throne and still in control and does miracle. If you believe and don't doubt you will have what you ask for in prayer. Thank you, Lord, for complete healing in Kim's body and we command this mountain of cancer to throw itself into the sea and we believe that we will get what we ask for in prayer. Thank you for Your faithfulness, mercy and love. Hold her close to your heart and give her a very special touch and blessing from you on Mother's Day. Thank you for her sweet friend, Renee, for requesting many to pray.

All my love from one mommy's heart to another,
Your Sister in Christ,
Angela
