Prayer before surgery for a child
(A prayer for a child’s peace of mind and successful operation, suitable for a parent or carer to pray)

Abba Father,

You told us to cry out “Daddy”, to nestle into you our creator as a child would a father. So we come close, we bring before you our wonderful child, beloved and beautiful in your sight. Lord, as he (she) is about to go into surgery we entrust him (her) to your care. We pray for your covering and protection as they undergo the anaesthetic. We ask for your divine blessing on the hands of the surgeons as they operate and for your peace to encircle our precious one. Lord, may they feel safe, protected and cared for today.

Father, please come with your strong arms of love and hold us all as family at this time. May your hope burn bright within our hearts as we rest secure in you.

Amen.

Prayer for surgery and healing
(a prayer for a successful recovery after an operation)

O Lord,

Be so close beside my dear one. Come whisper words of great hope into their hearts. Shut out the pain, the worry and fear and wrap them up within your soft, gentle love.
Bless the efforts of the surgeons who have worked to bring life and healing to his/her body. Please protect and keep him/her in your rest and care. May they know your presence close by each day.

Amen.

and put their trust in you.
Trust in the Lord forever;
