A Prayer Before Surgery
Most loving Heavenly Father, I commit
my physical body to You today as I undergo a delicate surgery. Guide the hands
of the surgeons as well. Thank You, Father, for giving them the skills and
talents that can heal the sick and bring hope to the dying. Thank You for
giving them sharp minds and calm hearts so that they can perform the operation
without causing harm to my body.
Father God, as I fall into
unconsciousness under the anesthetic, and as parts of my body are put under the
surgeons’ knives, continue to touch me with Your healing hand. I trust, God,
that You are my Healer. You alone have the power to take away this affliction I
have. I believe that there is no disease more powerful than Your Name, God. In
Jesus’ name, I rebuke this illness inside my body. Begone, in the name of
Jesus.
After the surgery is done, thank You,
God, for You will grant me restored health. Thank You for another chance at
life that I may continue to serve You and give glory to Your Name. As I go on
with my life after surgery, I ask You to always enable me to be salt and light
to those around me. Help me to live my life in accordance with Your will.
Once again, I commit my body to You,
as well as my soul. Be with me in this operation, and be with the doctors
especially. In Your Name, I ask all these things, Amen.
Prayer for a Friend before Surgery
Dearest Lord, my friend is about to
undergo a very delicate surgery. Just thinking about the operation makes me
very worried for his well-being. But Lord, I trust that You are sovereign. You
are in control of this situation. My friend’s life is in Your hands. I ask that
You surround me with Your peace that I may not worry and that You also touch my
friend with Your powerful healing hands.
Bless the surgeons as well, God. Give
them steady, dexterous hands as they operate on my friend. Keep their minds
sharp all throughout the operation, so that every move they make will serve to
help my friend’s ailing body.
At the end of it all, thank You,
Lord, for the healing you will impart to my friend. Thank You for giving him an
additional opportunity to live his life. Thank You for the extra time I will be
able to spend with him and thank You that he will be able to spend time with me
again soon. All these I ask in Your Name, Amen.
Prayer for Someone having Surgery
Dearest God, I am deeply concerned
now about my loved one who is on the operating table. As the surgeon performs
the procedures on her, I cannot help but be worried. There are a lot of
questions in my mind that come up about how she is doing. I know, God, that
this surgery is out of my hands now, which is why I’m coming to You today.
I commit the life of my loved one to
You, Father. You are the author of life, and You are the ultimate healer. Take
good care of her, God, as she is going under the surgeon’s knife. Take away
whatever it is that is negatively affecting her body.
Be with the surgeon, too, Lord, as he
performs this delicate operation. Enable him to do no harm to my loved one’s
body. Direct his hands during the entire course of the surgery. Allow him to
locate the site of disease and remove it. As he cuts the flesh open and patches
it back up afterwards, let his hands be gentle as a feather. Let no damage be
done on my loved one’s body.
I also ask, God, that through this
surgery, You will show Yourself in a very personal way to my loved one. Let her
experience Your love firsthand. Reveal to her Your purpose in allowing this
circumstance in her life. May she know You more deeply through this situation,
God. Let her experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding. I trust
that You are watching over her through the entire operation. She needs You now
more than ever, so I thank You for being there for her at this time. Hold her
in Your loving arms, God. Be her comfort while she is on the operating
table.
Continue to be with her, God, as she
recovers after the surgery. Let her experience Your love even further through
the blessing of having another chance at life. Enable her, Lord, to live her
life for Your glory as well as to be a channel of blessing to the ones she
loves. All these I pray in Your Name, Amen.
