Prayer When Facing Invasive Surgery

Heavenly Father, You know that I am having to face some invasive and unpleasant surgery and I come to You to ask You to keep my mind looking to Jesus and not to be anxious about anything, but be prepared to leave all things into Your gracious and willing hands.

Lord, Your Word tells me not to be anxious about anything but to come to You in prayer and place all my concerns and supplications before You and that You will give me Your peace in my heart that passes understanding. That is what I am doing now Lord. I am asking for You to be with me as I face this upcoming operation and keep my heart calm. Keep me from imagining all that could go wrong for I trust myself and my operation into Your hands.

Lord, I am asking You to be with me as the surgeons operates on me and pray that You would undertake in all things. I pray that You would guide the hands of the surgeon and nurses and give them the skill they need so that this operation may be a success, and I also pray that You will bring me back to health and strength in the days that lie ahead, to Your praise and glory.

Lord, I believe that You are interested in this surgery I am facing and know that You care for me as You do for all Your children. I pray that I will not fear what is ahead but simply trust You in all things. Father, I do believe that our times are in Your hands and that nothing happens to us that is not in Your permissive will and which will turn out for our eternal benefit. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith, in Whose name I pray,

Amen.
