Whenever we face a difficult life experience such as an medical operation, we can find reassurance and comfort in the promise that Jesus offers us:-
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." (John 14:27, NIV)
Take time to meditate on these precious words, and remember that as you prepare for surgery, you are not alone, for the God of heaven and earth is with you.

Almighty God,

I am in your care today as I go into surgery. Thank you that you hold all things together and breathe life itself into our beings. So I choose to rest in you. Lord, please protect my heart, mind and body under the anaesthetic. Guide the decisions, skills and hands of the surgeons and nursing team that will work today to bring healing. May your blessing be upon this operation.

Thank you.

Amen.

Smoothing over wounds
And wrapping us with peace.

Our eyes are on you,
Your Majesty,
Your Kingdom love,

Our hearts are open,
To receive,
Child to Father,
All you have for us.

We wait upon you,

And our King.

Prayer for recovery from surgery

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the surgeons, doctors and nurses that have cared for me. Bless the work of their hands and lead them as they give out to those in need.

Lord, you have been beside me each step of the way. You watched over me through this surgery, your angels stood guard when I needed protection. I ask that the oil of your healing would flow through me anew. May it heal, protect and breathe life into my body. Please give me rest and peace each moment of the day as I dwell in your love and truth. My trust is in you for complete restoration.

Father, thank you for your love to me.

Amen.
