The fear of surgical or medical operations is common. In fact, nearly everyone is prone to experiencing that uneasy feeling of uncertainty before or during the day of surgery. However, we should be reminded that feeling extreme anxiety or fear is pointless, especially when we know that we are in the Hands of God. Sometimes, we convince ourselves of the worst outcomes and ruin our days over something that has not happened yet. We tend to make scenarios about the surgery which opposes how God tells us to rest still. With this being said, here are prayers for surgery to aid us in healing and give us clarity.

Prayers for Surgery: Intention

One’s intention is a core principle in prayer. Communicating with God, especially in times where a delicate surgery is about to be performed requires honesty. The first thing we should consider is if we are trying to send God our sentiments, we should come to Him fully clothed in authenticity. Don’t hide your worries. Tell Him what you are worried about and describe the discomfort you are feeling. In this way, we can establish a greater connection and a clearer intention with God.
