Prayer for a Terminally-ill Friend

Prayer for a Terminally-ill Friend

Father, my heart is heavy, and I need the comfort of Your

Holy Spirit at this time, not for myself, though I surely need You,

but for my best friend, Pammy. Father, You know that

Pammy has been fighting her cancer for a long time, but now,

Lord, she has received the news that she has less than

one month left to live. Father, my Pammy has been a faithful

servant all her adult life doing her best to live her faith by her

witness. Lord, I can't remember a time she wasn't sewing, or cooking

or baking for one charity program or another, teaching Sabbath

School, and Vacation Bible School, and working with the

Busy Bees – how they are going to miss her! And I remember

well all the times, Lord, when she put up strangers in her home

never seeking compensation because, as she used put it: “It's 'one of the

least of these'!” We would laugh because she was quoting

the Master! Father, I am pleading for Pammy's last days

to be blessed ones. She is not afraid to die

because she knows when she opens her eyes

again, she will be rising up with her perfected body, and

meeting her King Jesus and the Hosts of Heaven in the air!

Father, Pammy is afraid that she will not know anyone as her last

days approach, and, for this reason, I am pleading with You, in

matchless name of Jesus for this one blessing for her. Please, Lord,

I beseech You, by Your Grace, and in mercy, to allow Pammy to

retain her eyesight and her memory to the very end of her

days. Oh, Father, I know that You know best, and I ask these

benefits all according to Your will, and in Your way, and I

thank You for hearing and answering prayer. AMEN.
