Prayers for When God and Cancer Meet

Prayers for When God and Cancer Meet: Honest Conversations with God Through Every Stage of the Journey is a book authored by Lynn Prays, designed to offer spiritual companionship to those impacted by cancer. The manuscript features a collection of raw, honest prayers that map to the general arc of a cancer journey, covering the initial shock of diagnosis, the anxiety of waiting for test results, the physical toll of treatments like chemotherapy and surgery, and the emotional complexities of remission or facing a terminal prognosis. Written for patients, caregivers, spouses, and friends, the book provides permission to express difficult emotions—such as fear, anger, doubt, and grief—directly to God when polished prayers feel hollow. Additionally, it includes appendices with scripture references organized by emotion, a practical guide to help church communities support patients with grace, and dedicated journaling space for readers to write their own prayers.
