There is always an honor in meditating on Bible verses for someone dying of cancer. Praying for people dying of cancer can help them endure hardship. Our life with Christ in heaven will be better than anything we could envision in our existence on earth.
Even if you survive cancer, you lose the war if you have a woe-is-me attitude. I’ve known strong Christians who have overcome cancer and are more joyful than ever in Christ. I’ve equally known strong Christians who overcame cancer even though God had already delivered them from it.
By failing to appreciate your cancer’s beauty, you risk wasting it. You risk wasting it by failing to use it to become nearer to Christ. You can waste it if you don’t serve as an example and a witness for others.
Bible Verse For Someone Dying Of Cancer
It might be heartbreaking to know that someone very close to you has a fatal condition like cancer. As Christians, we want to think that God has a reason for suffering.
When someone we know is suffering or when we have been given a cancer diagnosis, we can draw strength from the Bible.
I hope these Bible verses may encourage you as you wait on the Lord for comfort, courage, peace, and deliverance.
Isaiah 53:4-5-God Bears Our Grief.
Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes, we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4-5
He bears our sorrows rather than collapsing in grief over our rejection. He takes our sorrows rather than adding to them. Instead of avenging our sins, he has been pierced for them in our place.
Instead of us being crushed for our sins, he is crushed as our substitute. And he bears all the chastisement and whipping due to our rebellion so that we may have peace and be healed.
You don’t have to understand all the complexities of how this works to be healed and forgiven. He is our ray of hope, and all we have to do is believe.
Jeremiah 17:14-The Lord Heals
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.
Jeremiah 17:14
Everything else is a bonus if you first receive the Healing of sin in the soul through the blood of Jesus Christ, and He is more than capable of doing the same in the physical and the spiritual.
Therefore, give Christ Jesus all the glory, honor, and praise that He may be the treasure of your life, knowing that it is only through Him that you will receive true Healing. Amen.
Psalms 107:20-His Healing Word
He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
Psalms 107:20
God’s redemption for us is revealed in His written and spoken Word. Redemption is how we are set free from slavery—from oppression, affliction, and captivity.
As a result, praying the Word of God sent into every negative and hostile situation in our lives will bring forth healing for all types of sicknesses and diseases.
Because the Bible says so, the Word will also bring deliverance and freedom from cruel captivity, bondages, and satanic strongholds. However, you can only claim the promises because of your relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:24-He Bore Our Sins
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
1 Peter 2:24
Jesus provided for our salvation from hell and Healing and restoration in all areas of our lives.
He willingly provided for any need through his grace and wants us to partake of everything he has made available to us. If you are sick, I want you to see Jesus on the cross, bearing whatever illness you may have on his own body so that you do not have to.
He bore your sickness, and his stripes healed you. Why would he do something like that? Because he cares about you and does not want you to be ill. Above all, he wishes for your prosperity and health (3 John 1:2)
Exodus 15:26-Heed His Commandments.
And said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
Exodus 15:26
God cannot help people who refuse to listen and can’t take you any further in life than you are now if you don’t listen. But if you listen and do what He says, He will take you to the place He has chosen for you.
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things,” Jeremiah 33:3 says. You don’t have to be terrified of God’s plan for your life, and you don’t have to flee God. Come to Him!
He has something extraordinary in store for you. It’s a plan unlike any other, and it was created specifically for you, just like your fingerprint. It is a plan to benefit you rather than harm you and give you hope and a future.
Psalms 30:2-Cry Unto God
O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.
Psalms 30:2
In this context, the psalmist his illness and death to a specific sin, which was unworthy partaking of the Lord’s Supper.
That is not to say that all sickness is caused by sin (John 9:1-3), but it does mean that God can use illness as a form of discipline.
A believer may sin willfully and suffer the consequences, but if he repents and seeks Healing from the Lord, the Lord may heal and forgive him.
After confessing his sins and receiving prayer, he will be healed.
Jeremiah 33:6-God Brings Healing.
Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
Jeremiah 33:6
By acting as responsible stewards of all entrusted to us, we align ourselves with the spirit of grace and abundance in God’s heart.
God is here to heal you, whether you need physical, emotional, or mental Healing. He will never abandon you, and God is always available to you.
His goal is to constantly remind you that He wants you to live abundantly, no matter how you feel, or things appear. Though it may seem impossible to the human mind, God can accomplish it.
James 5:14-15-Let Elders Pray For You
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
James 5:14-15
When we are sick or spiritually weak, we should pray for ourselves, praise God, and ask the spiritual leaders of our churches to pray for us. Healing will occur, and sins will be forgiven.
God hears and responds to prayer. Suffering is unavoidable, and when it comes, it is an opportunity to draw closer to God by asking for help and strength to persevere in the face of adversity.
A lack of prayer in the face of adversity should serve as a spiritual red flag, and it’s a sign of someone who isn’t dependent on God.
For people who have a close trust relationship with our Father, prayer should become the natural response to any circumstance or state of mind.
Psalms 147:3-He Binds Wound
He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
Psalms 147:3
Lean on God and allow Him to heal your broken heart. This isn’t just essential improvement or returning to normal health; it’s complete, restored, and perfect Healing.
God, as the “Great Physician,” is all-powerful and can restore us to our perfect, pure, and holy state, as He intended when He created us in His image (Genesis 1:27). This is the kind of Healing that God promises to all of us.
Bible Verses For Terminally Ill
I just was reminded of this by a song. Reasons don’t work. Why did this occur? Who is at fault? Whether God acted or not. All of that does not alleviate the suffering or fill the hole.
Knowing that God is with us, that He loves us, and that He has eternal plans for us is what we most need to hear. Reading and considering these verses from Scripture will be very beneficial to you.
Deuteronomy 31:6-Be Courageous
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6
Fearing God is the same as trusting him. What is a man capable of doing to you? The Lord is your shield and strength. Physical strength will sometimes fail, but moral strength and courage should accompany the born-again even on our deathbeds.
God’s strength can begin and is infinite where our strength ends, which should be immediate. God is dependable. If you seek him and his righteousness, abiding in him and doing his will, he will never abandon you.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4-God Comforts
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
God shows his mercy to those in need by Healing, comforting, alleviating suffering, and caring for those in need. He acts out of compassion and understanding.
Because God is the judge of all people, He is also the source of all mercy. Instead of passing judgment on all who deserve it, which includes all of us, He freely extends understanding to those who come to Him through faith in Christ (John 3:16–18).
Amid our suffering and affliction, believers must remember that God has and will continue to show mercy to us.
Isaiah 41:10-God Will Help.
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
If we can’t rely on ourselves to get the strength we need, who can we rely on? The answer is straightforward. God. God assures us that He will always be with us in comforting words.
He tells us not to be afraid because He will support us with His righteous right hand, allowing us to stand firm. He tells us to trust Him because you never know what’s on the other side of the bridge.
But God desires that you have faith in Him, and he hopes you encourage yourself and gather strength to allow Him to walk alongside you. Besides, doesn’t it feel great to know you’re not alone in your struggles?
Romans 12:12-Pray Always
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Romans 12:12
Because we have hope in Christ, our hearts should be filled with joy. When faced with difficulties, patience will keep us from giving up before we see our victory.
We constantly pray in every situation, knowing God will answer our prayers. We are to rejoice as Christians because of the hope we have in Christ. Despite our circumstances, we have hope in Him because He has promised us victory.
You will find rest when you put your hope in God, not in anything else. Afflictions are only temporary, and when they pass, we know that the glory of God will be visible to all who see us.
Revelation 21:4-He Will Wipe All Tears.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
This verse describes the reality after God has made His judgment. All wrongs are corrected, all sin is separated, and all suffering is gone.
Life is full of trials, tribulations, blessings, and comfort. In this life, pain and sorrow are unavoidable. Jesus promises to wipe away our tears and comfort us.
When he wipes away every tear, it will be the final time. The new reality will be free of tears and pain, and there will be nothing to lament because death will no longer exist.
Scripture For Dying Family Member
You could feel a wide range of feelings when your family member dies. You could go through sadness, anger, shock, denial, relief, and guilt, to name a few.
Bible verses that offer consolation amid the emotional difficulty of a dying family member may be just what you need to get through a trying period.
These verses can help you cope with the pressures of hospice care for yourself or a loved one.
John 10:27-30-You Are God’s Sheep.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”
John 10:27-30
God wishes to communicate with you in the manner in which He intends. It’s not an unusual occurrence, and it’s your purpose in life.
So spend time with Him in His Word, prayer, and silence. And pay attention, and he wishes to speak with you. How a person reacts to Jesus reveals whether or not they are a member of His “flock.”
The eternal life that Jesus has given to His “sheep” cannot and will not be stolen, revoked, or lost. This is because those who are saved through Jesus Christ are saved. After all, God “gives” them to Jesus.
Deuteronomy 31:6-Don’t Be Terrified.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6
Fearing God is the same as trusting him. What is a man capable of doing to you? The Lord is your shield and strength. Christians are being persecuted all over the world today.
Persecution is likely to increase if Christians stand up and act like Christians. But even if persecution does occur, there is nothing to fear. So says the universe’s sovereign God.
Psalm 55:22-Cast Your Burdens To Jesus
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.
Psalm 55:22
Not only can we cast our burdens on God, but we are also instructed to give God all of our concerns, and he is concerned about us.
God, the creator of the universe; God, who is more powerful than anyone or anything, is concerned about you! Go ahead and do it.
Give God your burdens, problems, pain, unrealized dreams, and hopes. He is infinitely capable of assisting you.
Psalm 23:1-6-Fear No Evil
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:1-6
Isaiah 41:10-The Lord Is Your Strenght
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.Isaiah 41:10
Conclusion
You can waste the opportunity of getting close to God through your illness. You can also waste having a loving relationship with God if you don’t develop a new love for the Bible.
In Christ, you can win the battle. Believe in the Lord, my fellow Christians, for He always has a plan and causes everything to work out for the best.
You only get stronger via trials. Seek the Lord’s peace, and don’t stop praising Him. Continue to trust the Lord because you have hope in Him.
Use cancer to renew your devotion to God and His rules. Be not disheartened! He is devoted to you and loves you. Love God too, and keep in mind that love endures all things. Trials shouldn’t break you. Use it as evidence, and cling to it.
