Episode 7: Healing Prayers for Cancer
Show Notes
Episode DescriptionWhen you're facing cancer or another serious diagnosis, fear can quickly take over. Medical statistics, worst-case scenarios, and uncertainty about the future can become louder than the faith and hope you once thought were unshakable.
Jordan Rubin knows what it feels like to have that faith tested. In 2008, he was facing metastatic cancer and says his doctor told him he had a 100% chance of dying within 90 days. During the 40-day healing journey that followed, Jordan became intensely focused on supporting his health physically, but prayer, forgiveness, and inner healing were equally foundational.
In this deeply personal episode of The Jordan Rubin Show, Jordan shares the role prayer played during his cancer recovery and the specific Healing Prayer for Cancer he spoke aloud three times every day.
He explores how to acknowledge the reality of a serious diagnosis without allowing fear to define your identity, why the words you speak matter, and how Scripture can become an anchor when circumstances give you little reason for hope.
Watch through to the end for the complete Healing Prayer Protocol, including how Jordan incorporated the prayer into his own daily routine, what to do when you're too weak to pray for yourself, and practical ways to strengthen your faith while continuing to care for your physical health.

About Jordan RubinJordan Rubin is a New York Times bestselling author, regenerative farmer, biblical health coach, and co-founder of Garden of Life, Beyond Organic, and Ancient Nutrition.
After overcoming a near-fatal battle with Crohn's disease at 19, Jordan discovered the biblical principles of nutrition that became the foundation of his healing and life's work. Years later, in 2008, he faced another life-threatening health crisis when he was diagnosed with metastatic cancer and told he had only months to live.
During the 40-day journey that followed, Jordan combined an intensive physical health regimen with prayer, forgiveness, Scripture, and inner healing. His Healing Prayer for Cancer became a daily practice that he spoke aloud three times each day to strengthen his faith and keep his attention anchored in God's promises.
Today, through his books, teaching, regenerative farming, and The Jordan Rubin Show, Jordan shares practical strategies for pursuing whole-person health while encouraging others to strengthen their faith through life's most difficult seasons.

Healing Prayers for Cancer
(4-5 Minute Read)When you're facing a frightening diagnosis, it's easy for fear, statistics, and worst-case scenarios to become the loudest voices in your life. But a diagnosis doesn't have to determine your identity, nor what you believe about your future.
When I was told I had a 100% chance of dying within 90 days due to cancer, prayer became one of the most important parts of my 40-day healing journey. I cared for myself physically, but I also became deeply intentional about strengthening my faith, guarding my thoughts, and speaking God's promises over my life every single day.
Confidence doesn't always arrive with a bold entrance. Sometimes, it builds quietly, step by step, as we show up for ourselves day after day. It grows when we choose to try, even when we're unsure of the outcome. Every time you take action despite self-doubt, you reinforce the belief that you're capable.
The key to making things happen isn't waiting for the perfect moment; it's starting with what you have, where you are. Big goals can feel overwhelming when viewed all at once, but momentum builds through small, consistent action.
You don't need to be fearless to reach your goals, you just need to be willing. Willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to believe that you're capable of more than you know.
