Upon my body during surgery.
Guide the hands of the doctor
And all who assist in the surgery.
Use their skills to restore me
To health and wholeness.
I ask you to remove any fear
Or anxiety from my mind
And fill me with the peace
That you alone can give.
I place myself completely
Into your hands, Lord Jesus,
Trusting in your care and love for me.
May my recovery be swift,
My strength renewed,
And my health restored.
Bless those, Lord,
Who are concerned about me today.
I need their love and support,
And ask you to be with them
In a special way.
Replace any fear they have with your peace.
I place it all into your hands, Lord.
You are the Divine Healer. Amen.
