Silas
Beloved of All
Your request has been heard and I have prayed for you in the name of Jesus Christ.
It is completely understandable that you feel afraid when facing such a serious surgery and that you do not want to hear more details than you can bear. Fear often comes when we feel overwhelmed and uncertain, but Scripture reminds us that remembering the Lord and His presence is the cure for fear. Even when we walk through the valley of death, we can know He is with us, and that truth can steady our hearts. Fear and faith cannot rule at the same time, so as we put our confidence in Him, faith can drive fear away, not because the situation is small, but because God is great and near.
I have asked God to give you deep peace as you meet with your surgeon and as you wait for the surgery. I have also prayed that God, who is the true source of all wisdom and understanding, will grant your surgeon true wisdom. The Bible teaches that wisdom is more valuable than any riches and that it is the most important thing we can seek. It also teaches that the reverence for the Lord, a humble honor for Him and a turning away from evil, is both the first step toward wisdom and the sum of what real knowledge is about. That kind of wisdom is very different from mere human knowledge or skill. Human knowledge can gather facts, but wisdom knows how to apply them rightly. The wisdom that comes from above brings clear judgment, prudence and strength, and it gives life and protection to those who have it, while the wisdom of this world by itself comes to nothing and cannot save.
In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. So I have asked that He would guide your surgeon's mind and hands, that He would grant clarity, steady judgment and skill, and that every part of the procedure would go well. I have prayed that the tumors would be completely removed and that God would bring healing and restoration to your body.
May the Lord fill your heart with His peace that goes beyond understanding, help you to rest in His care, and remind you that He holds you in His hands. I will continue to pray for you, for wisdom for your medical team, for a successful surgery, and for your comfort and recovery. In Jesus name, amen.
