Please share these prayers with your Dad. The Lord heard these prayers and got me through 2 very risky surgeries with not one problem afterward (even my surgeon was amazed). I said the first prayer when they prepped me for surgery and the other when I got back to my room after leaving the recovery room.

PRAYER BEFORE AN OPERATION
As I face this operation, gracious Father in Christ, I come to You with my fears and misgivings and ask You to give me the courage to face the day with confidence because of Your goodness and protection.

You do not slumber or sleep while I am in a deep sleep. Let this be assurance to me that I need not worry or be afraid. Relax my nerves, put my mind at ease, and graciously forgive me all my sins.

Give the surgeon a steady hand and the necessary understanding to do his/her task with ease and perfection.

Give my family the reassuring faith that You are with us; the keeper of my body and the lover of my soul. Calm their troubled spirits during the coming hours of my surgery.

In Your precious hands I put my well-being for time and eternity.

This I ask in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

PRAYER AFTER AN OPERATION
My grateful heart praises YOU Heavenly Father, That You have safely seen me through this operation. I know all went well because You watched over me.

During the hours and days that lie ahead, ease my distress and pain and heal me. Give me the needed patience, the necessary endurance, and continued confidence that Your goodness and love will uphold me.

Grant that all services the nurses, doctors, and therapists give to me will speed my recovery and bring me safely home, completely healed. Give me restful days and bless me tonight with refreshing sleep. Let me enjoy Your peace through the forgiveness of all my sins for which Christ paid in full on the cross.

Continue to abide in me now and always. Amen.
