surgery tomorrow

  

Thank you so much for your prayers for my mom's heart procedure tomorrow morning. It is scheduled at 6:30am (EST) - we will need to be at the hospital earlier than that. I know that we are not the only one who are approaching unknowns, surgeries & a whole host of other things this week. Things that we could never imagined that we would be facing today. I wanted to share with y'all my prayer for my mom's procedure tomorrow... I hope it will be an encouragement to those of you walking a similar path...

God, my God, you know my fearful & terrified heart & state as we approach today. I am gripped by anxiety over the procedure/surgery that my loved one has to undergo. We are very much frightened of the entire procedure. Lord, your word says that you will strengthen us on our bed of illness & you will sustain my mom on her sickbed. Yes Lord! We trust your word & turn to you for help. Human wisdom & skill are nothing before you. So please fill the doctors who attend to my mom with your divine wisdom Lord so that they can perform this surgery in a perfect manner.

Take all of those who assist them & everyone associated with the surgery in your hands & keep them as your instruments in bringing healing to her. The prayer of my heart & so many others has been for mom to be able to live without heart issues. Use this Lord to bring about healing. Use this Lord for your glory even though right now things seem dark & scary. May this situation reflect your love and goodness & showcase your love and power. Shine your light into the darkness Lord. We cling to your promises that you are always with me, wherever we go! You are already there Lord.

As she is wheeled into the room, feeling alone & scared- your presence will be there to meet & to guide. Lord, hold her hand tightly and grant her your peace. We totally & completely rest on you and thank you for always being with us & carrying her & rescuing her Lord. You are the God of miracles & we are trusting you for big miracles today.

"Tell those who are terrified, be brave & don't be afraid. Your God will come...He will come & rescue you..." // Is. 35:4
