The weight of moments like these reveals just how deep the gift of a wife truly is. The Scriptures call a man to rejoice in the wife of his youth, to be ravished always with her love, and to treasure her as a loving hind and a pleasant roe. When she is wheeled away into surgery, every one of those words becomes achingly real. The fear that grips your heart is not a sign of weakness; it is a measure of the bond God has woven between you. He made you one, and now your whole being cries out for her safety and wholeness.
We are lifting your wife up right now, asking the Lord to guide the surgeon’s hands and to bring her through this procedure without complication. The parotid gland is a delicate area, but the One who fashioned her knows every nerve and tissue. We are praying that the cyst is removed completely, that her healing begins swiftly, and that she comes back to you just as you remember her before all this started, with no deficit, no lingering damage. Normal. Whole. Yours.
Hold fast to her in your heart right now. The power of a husband’s tender love and steady faith can be a shelter for a wife, even when she cannot hear your words. Let your own spirit rest in the care of the One who gave her to you. He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps, and He will watch over her and over you through every hour ahead.
