Prayer for those facing a major surgery

Creator God, healer of all ills,
I place my health into your hands.
Guide the hand of my surgeon.
Let this operation be without surprises.
May what I endure today be as painless as possible.
Make my body quick to heal, resistant to setbacks,
open to a new flow of energy.
May what is not needed be gone for good.
Fill me with new hope and new horizons.
And if all this cannot be, please grant me the strength to persevere.
Whatever comes, walk with me.

Amen.
