We lift you up in prayer as you undergo knee surgery, and we rejoice that you have acknowledged the Lord Jesus Christ in your request—for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* **"(John 14:6, WEB)**. What a powerful truth to cling to in this moment! You have placed your trust in the right place, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and no other name by which we can boldly approach the throne of grace.
We pray earnestly for the skillful hands of the surgeons and medical team attending to you. May the Lord grant them wisdom, precision, and steadfast focus as they perform this procedure. *"The heart of man plans his course, but Yahweh establishes his steps"* **(Proverbs 16:9, WEB)**. We ask that every decision made in that operating room align with His perfect will, and that your body would respond well to the treatment. May there be no complications, no infections, and no setbacks—only the swift and complete work of healing that brings glory to His name.
We also pray for the pain you’ve endured leading up to this surgery. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* **(Psalm 147:3, WEB)**. Though this healing may come through the hands of doctors, it is the Lord who sustains and restores. We ask that He would minimize your discomfort during recovery and fill you with His peace, which surpasses all understanding. Let this season be a testimony of His faithfulness, not just in the physical healing of your knee, but in the strengthening of your faith. *"But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me"* **(2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB)**.
If fear or anxiety try to creep in, we rebuke them in the name of Jesus. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* **(2 Timothy 1:7, WEB)**. You are not alone in this—the Great Physician is with you, and His presence is your comfort. We pray that you would feel His nearness in a tangible way, and that your heart would overflow with gratitude for His provision, even in the midst of this trial.
As you recover, we encourage you to use this time to draw closer to the Lord. *"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth"* **(Psalm 46:10, WEB)**. Let this be a season of resting in Him, of meditating on His Word, and of allowing His strength to be perfected in your weakness. We also urge you to surround yourself with brothers and sisters in Christ who can support you, pray over you, and encourage you in the faith. *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"* **(Galatians 6:2, WEB)**.
Father, we thank You for this child of Yours who has placed their trust in You. We ask that You would make this surgery a success by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Bring healing to every ligament, tendon, and bone in that knee, and restore full mobility without pain. Let this be a testimony of Your goodness, not just to this beloved one, but to all who witness their recovery. We pray for a speedy and smooth rehabilitation, and for patience and perseverance as they regain their strength. Above all, Lord, may Your name be glorified in this situation. We ask these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
