We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your friend who is preparing for surgery after so many delays. Father, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who heals and restores. We ask that You would go before the surgeons, nurses, and all medical staff involved, guiding their hands and minds with Your perfect wisdom and skill. Let every detail of this procedure unfold according to Your will, free from complications, and with the best possible outcome.
Lord, we also pray for peace to surround your friend in these final days of waiting. Anxiety and fear can so easily take hold, but we declare that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Remind them that You are with them, even in the valley of the shadow of death, and that Your rod and Your staff comfort them (Psalm 23:4).
We rebuke any spirit of delay or hindrance in Jesus’ name, for we know that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Christ came that we may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We stand on Your promise that all things are possible with You (Matthew 19:26), and we trust that this surgery will proceed at the perfect time, according to Your plan.
Father, if there is any unconfessed sin or unforgiveness in this situation, we ask that You would bring it to light and lead them to repentance. Healing—both physical and spiritual—comes from You, and we want nothing to hinder Your work. If this friend does not yet know You as Lord and Savior, we pray that this trial would draw them to the foot of the cross, where they can find eternal healing in Jesus Christ. For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
We also pray for the family and loved ones who are waiting and supporting them. Give them strength, patience, and faith to trust in You. Let this time be one of unity, love, and reliance on You, rather than fear or division.
Lord, we thank You in advance for Your faithfulness. We trust that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). May this surgery be a testimony of Your grace, mercy, and power. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Healer. Amen.
