We lift you up before the throne of grace in this time of distress and pain, trusting in the Lord who hears the cries of His children. You are not alone in your suffering, for the Scriptures remind us, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). We stand with you in faith, believing that God’s healing hand can bring comfort and restoration even in the midst of this trial.
The fear and anxiety you feel are understandable, but we encourage you to cast your burdens upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). The psalmist declares, *"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble"* (Psalm 46:1). Even now, we pray that the peace of Christ, which surpasses all understanding, would guard your heart and mind as you prepare for this surgery (Philippians 4:7).
Father in Heaven, we come before You on behalf of our brother/sister in need. We ask for Your divine healing to surround them, both in body and spirit. Lord, we pray for the hands of the surgeons and medical staff—that You would guide them with wisdom and skill as they perform this procedure. Ease the pain, calm the fear, and let Your presence be a tangible comfort in this moment. We declare that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we trust in Your promise to restore health and strength.
If there is any unconfessed sin or unforgiveness in your heart, we encourage you to bring it before the Lord, for He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). But even if your heart is heavy with fear alone, know that God’s love for you is unshaken. He knit you together in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13), and He holds your life in His hands.
We also pray for your faith to be strengthened through this trial. The enemy may seek to use this moment to bring doubt or despair, but we rebuke that spirit of fear in the name of Jesus Christ. *"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). Stand firm in the knowledge that God works all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
As you go into this surgery, we pray that you would feel the Lord’s presence walking beside you. May He grant you restful sleep tonight, free from pain and anxiety, and may you wake with a renewed sense of His peace. We declare that this trial will not overcome you, but that you will overcome it through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13).
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Healer and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
