Prayer for Breast Cancer Awareness Month: 8 Prayer Points for Healing and Hope

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, observed across the USA, UK, Canada, Nigeria and many other countries. Behind the pink ribbons are real people: mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, friends and, sometimes, men. This post is a way to stand with them in prayer.

A gentle note: prayer works hand in hand with medical care. Please encourage the people you love to attend regular screenings and speak to their doctor about any concerns.

What the Bible Says About God’s Care for the Suffering

“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3, KJV)

“The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” (Psalm 34:18, KJV)

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee.” (Isaiah 41:10, KJV)

God is near to those who are hurting, and He invites us to carry one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).
