Prayers for Joe Biden: A Global Call to Intercede

When a nation’s leader becomes a patient, we are reminded that no one is beyond the reach of affliction. And no one is beyond the reach of prayer.

Former U.S. President Joe Biden, age 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, his office confirmed Sunday. This is deeply personal—not only for him but for a nation he once led and a world he still influences. Biden’s decades of public service are marked by resilience, most notably after the loss of his son Beau to brain cancer in 2015.

Now, he faces a battle of his own.

Biden was known for launching the Cancer Moonshot Initiative, aiming to ensure that “a diagnosis isn’t a death sentence.” That same battle cry now becomes his own need.

As leaders from around the world express sympathy and support, the time has come for believers everywhere to rise in prayer. This is more than politics. This is about life. This is about legacy. This is about one man’s fight and our shared opportunity to lift him before God.
