prayers for surgery
On this page you can pray several short petitions for those currently going into surgery. There is a prayer for a friend to have a successful operation, a short patient's prayer for the surgery to go well, and a beautiful prayer to help ease a troubled mind and bring God's peace. There is also an uplifting prayer for the healing of a loved one. May you know God's presence now as you come before him.
Prayer for Someone Going Into Surgery
(a prayer for a friend to have a successful operation)
Lord,
You have soothed us, saying "do not worry about tomorrow".
Thank you that you pour out your spirit upon us a new each day.
Thank you that your grace is sufficient for us within each moment that we live.
So I pray for my loved one that they would know your peace in their hearts.
A peace that surpasses all understanding.
A peace that guards their hearts and minds.
A peace that they receive from Christ himself.
Lord, as they undergo this surgery, come and be present, watching, waiting, moving to help and guard every moment during this procedure. May they be held in your loving arms and protected from all harm.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
Prayer for surgery to go well (a patient's prayer for peace and healing)
Father,
As I go for surgery I rest into your promises. I lean back into your love for me, and ask for your protection as I undergo this operation. I sink into your peace as the surgeons work with your spirit to bring restoration. I lie down holding your hand of grace that leads me through the darkest of times and into new seasons filled with hope. I know that when I am most vulnerable you will be with me, that your love, restoration and grace will hold me safe.
Amen.

Prayer For Peace Of Mind
(the prayer poem in the film above)Lead me to your still streams O Lord
Where I can kneel in the waters of life
Lay down my anxious thoughts
And cast all my cares on You
Here I will wait a while
Wait a while
And bathe in the life-giving waters
Bathe my mind in Your Spirit O God
Come fill my being with Your peace
Bathe my heart with Your love O God
Come still my being with Your peace
Bathe my spirit with Your freedom O God
Come saturate this life with Your peace

prayer for physical healing
Julie Palmer leads us in a beautiful prayer for those who are in need of physical healing:
Prayer for healing a loved one
Dear Jesus,
You walked on the earth, understood the broken world, yet also rose from death into resurrected life. I pray for my loved one that they would be held at this time in your loving arms. Bless the work of the doctors, surgeons and hospital staff, and bring the power of your resurrection life into their body. Come fill my loved one from top to toe with your restorative Spirit. May your resurrection life bring healing and wellness into their being. May your grace carry them through this hard time into a new season filled with hope and joy.
Amen.
