Prayers for Surgery
Prayer For A Friend Facing Surgery
Heavenly Father, I thank and praise You that through the Lord Jesus Christ we are able to come before You and bring our prayers and praises before Your throne of grace. Thank You that You are a God Whose power is still mighty to save and heal, as it was in times of old, and thank You that You are still our God whose healing power can touch each of our infirmities.
Lord, I bring before You our dear friend Who is having to face surgery and Lord although this is quite a daunting prospect, Father I pray that Your peace that passes all understanding would flood their hearts so that they may find true rest for their soul in You. Help them not to fret or worry at the prospect of the difficulty of the operation or be anxious about the outcome, but rather place everything into Your gracious hands, knowing that You cause everything to work together for good to those who love God.
Help them Lord, not to be apprehensive about anything, but rather to trust their lives and their futures into Your loving hands, knowing that every day of our life is scheduled by You and that nothing takes You by surprise.
May the doctors and nurses be given the wisdom and skill to carry out this operation successfully. In Jesus' name,
Amen.

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.

Prayer For A Husband Undergoing Surgery
Dear God, my husband is undergoing surgery and I feel so alone when he is not around. Lord, please help me to trust You in this situation. I realise that all the securities upon which I have been resting are being taken down one by one, including my husband upon whom I rely so heavily.
Lord Jesus, I know that I could become fearful and afraid, knowing that I have depended upon him so much in the past. But Lord, I can also see Your hand in this for I know that in my heart that it is You upon Whom I should depend and You in Whom I should place my trust, and Lord, that is what I am doing now. Be with us both I pray. Uphold us with Your righteous right hand and keep us trusting fully in You for the right and best outcome and for the strength to go through this surgery.
Lord, I do lift up my heart in prayer to You and ask that You would be with my husband and me as he faces this operation. I pray that You would give the doctors and nurses the skill to bring him back to full health and strength. But no matter what the outcome, I pray that You would give us the strength to trust all our tomorrows into Your hands, for I believe that Your grace is sufficient for all our trials and tests in life. Father, I pray that as unpleasant as this operation is, that through it You would draw us closer to You and to each other. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Prayer For My Recovery Following Surgery
Heavenly Father, I thank You for bringing me safely through this surgery and for the many doctors and nurses that were involved in my operation. Thank You, Lord, for being with me and with the family as I faced this time in hospital and thank You Lord, that Your everlasting arms are ever underneath to uphold and support each one of us through these difficult seasons of life.
Father, I ask that You would give me a speedy and safe recovery. Help me to be patient, should my recovery not be as quick as I would like it to be, but may it also be a time when I learn to rest in Your love. Oh, but Lord, I do thank You that You have promised that our times are in Your hands and I know that You overshadow every aspect of our lives. Lord I pray that during this time of convalescence that You would give me a peace that comes only from You, and keep me from fretting about my inability to do as much as when I am in full health and strength.
Lord, You know that I am generally quite busy and often find that I arrive at the end of the day having had little quality time with You, but I pray, with all my heart, that this time of recovery would be a time when I draw closer to You than I have ever drawn before. I ask this in the name of Jesus my Lord and Saviour,
Amen.
Prayer For My Wife’s Surgery
Dear Father God, please be with my dear wife as she faces this operation. Oh Lord, so often we travel through life without a care or worry, until something like this lands in our laps, and Lord I am sorry that I have not been as faithful in my prayers to You. Nonetheless, I pray that You would hear my plea and see fit to bring my wife through this operation, and restore her back to full health and strength.
Lord, it is at times like these that we are brought to a sudden realisation of how much friends, family and especially my wife mean to me and I know that in many respects I have taken my wife for granted. But I do thank You for her love and devotion to me and to You Lord Jesus, and pray that You would give her the peace that only comes from You and the strength to go through this operation, trusting You in all things.
Give those that are involved in the surgery the necessary wisdom and skill to carry out the operation well, so that she returns to full health and strength in the days that lie ahead. I do thank You Lord that You are a faithful God. Thank You for hearing my prayer and I pray that Your name would be glorified through this and that we both draw closer to You. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
