Lord,

I lift up Audrea Slaughter to You today. You know her heart — every flaw she sees in herself, every place she wants to grow, every moment she feels she falls short. You see the parts she hides, the parts she struggles with, and the parts she is trying so hard to change. Help her, God, not from a place of condemnation, but from a place of love. Show her that growth is not punishment — it is Your hand guiding her into who she was always meant to be. Strengthen her where she feels weak. Correct her gently where she needs direction. Give her the courage to face her own patterns without fear, without shame, without running from the truth.
Teach her to trust Your plan even when she doesn’t understand it. Teach her to release control when she wants to force outcomes. Teach her to rest in the knowledge that You are shaping her, not abandoning her.
Let her feel Your presence in the small moments — the pauses, the decisions, the quiet thoughts — so she knows she is not growing alone.
Let her see progress even when it feels slow.
Let her feel hope even when she feels stuck.
Lord, help Audrea walk in grace, not guilt.
Help her grow with confidence, not fear.
Help her trust that Your plan for her life is steady, intentional, and good.

Amen.

Gracious God,
I lift up Rebecca Owens as she returns to Boston, to Dana‑Farber, to face another bone marrow biopsy and MRI. You know the weight she carries — a full year of treatment, uncertainty, and courage. You know the quiet fear that rises before every scan, every test, every moment that asks, “Is it working? Has anything changed?” Cover her with Your peace as she travels. Steady her breath.
Calm her thoughts. Let her feel held, not alone. Lord, guide the hands, eyes, and judgment of every clinician who touches her case. Let the biopsy be smooth, the MRI be clear, and the results reveal truth that leads to healing, not fear.
Give her doctors wisdom to see exactly what they need to see — no confusion, no missed details, no uncertainty. Strengthen Rebecca’s body as it undergoes these procedures. Strengthen her spirit as she waits for answers.
Strengthen her hope so she does not feel consumed by the unknown.
If the treatment is working, let it be unmistakable.
If adjustments are needed, let them be guided by clarity, not panic. Let every next step be aligned with healing, protection, and long life.
Wrap Rebecca in Your presence tonight and tomorrow — in the hospital room, in the waiting room, in the moments when her mind tries to run ahead.
Let her feel Your calm settle over her like a blanket. Protect her.
Give her peace that does not shake.
Amen

Heavenly Father,
I lift up Maria Colton to You right now as her body feels tense and her mind is overwhelmed with worry about tomorrow’s dialysis. You see how she is afraid to eat, afraid to take in fluids, afraid of feeling worse — and You know the weight that kind of fear puts on a person’s spirit. Cover her with Your peace.
Let her breath slow. Let her thoughts settle. Let her body release the tension it has been holding all day.
Remind her that she is not fighting this alone.
Remind her that You are watching over every drop of fluid, every shift in her body, every moment of treatment.
Give her the calm to nourish herself without fear, the trust to know her body will be cared for, and the strength to face tomorrow without dread.
Lord, quiet the “what ifs.” Replace them with steady reassurance.
Let her feel Your presence like a hand on her shoulder, steadying her, reminding her she is safe. Give her rest tonight. Give her calm in her stomach, calm in her mind, and calm in her heart.
Let tomorrow unfold with ease, protection, and grace. Amen

Jesus,
We lift Char’s mom into Your hands right now. Her body is failing, but You are still near, still present, still holding her with a love that does not break.
Cover her with peace that quiets fear, eases suffering, and fills the room with Your presence. God, strengthen this family.
Hold them steady as they face decisions, emotions, and moments that feel too heavy to carry. Guide every step, every conversation, every breath. Let Your wisdom lead them, Your comfort surround them, and Your grace sustain them. Be with her mom in every moment — awake or resting — and let Your peace settle over her like a blanket.
Where there is sorrow, bring comfort.
Where there is confusion, bring clarity.
Let Your presence be unmistakable.
Let Your love be the anchor that holds them.
In Your holy name, Amen.
