A prayer for surgery
Words you can pray
God, I bring you the person facing surgery and everyone who loves them. You know the questions we have asked and the fears we have kept to ourselves. Please meet us here, before we know what comes next.
Give the surgeons, nurses and everyone caring for them clear minds, steady hands and the rest they need. Help us ask questions and understand the answers. When the waiting feels long, help us take one breath, make one call and accept the kindness offered to us.
We ask for healing, relief from pain and good care through recovery. Give patience to the one who is healing, and to those of us who help. Help us tell the truth about how we feel, without having to sound brave. For everyone in the waiting room or waiting by the phone for news, we ask for company and comfort. Hold our fear and our hope together as we place this day before you. Amen.
