This is a model prayer that may be copied and modified for each particular situation. It is one I would and have prayed over myself before surgery. I know all the potentials for error and many not just specific to surgery, just human nature.
Prayer for Surgery When it is Me
This prayer is one that a surgeon offered for himself.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I place myself in your hands, under the safety of your care, and claim healing for myself in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth.
I bind and cast out any and all evil spirits (those of fear, hopelessness, destruction, deceit, lies, robbery, death or confusion) from any room that I may enter in the course of my treatment in the _______________. I bind every lying demon spirit from the presence and influence on any decision or event during my treatment. I fill that space or room with the Truth of the Holy Spirit (faith, hope, love, truth and peace) the life of Christ.
I bind any spirit or agent that may cause pulmonary arrest, cardiac arrest, adverse bleeding, infection, thromboembolic phenomena (blood clots), or delayed healing, device or instrumentation related problems, hyperthermia, neurovascular injury, fat embolus, tourniquet injury, loss of normal anatomy, function, mobility or death.
I ask that you remove any confusion, competition, or distracting forces from the surgeon(s) and the operating room personnel and place a spirit of peace, cooperation, and attentiveness to detail and above all good judgement.
I ask that you remove any confusion, competition, or distracting forces from any of the hospital personnel in the course of my stay and place a spirit of peace, cooperation, and attentiveness to detail.
I ask that you keep the surgeon’s mind clear of conflicting issues and grant clarity of thought, diagnostic acumen, surgical judgment, and gentle and precise surgical technique. Please guide the surgeon’s hands in the resection repair and implant placement while protecting and retaining vital structures and above all good clinical judgment.
May all the robotic equipment and electronic support be perfectly functioning to create the proper resection and bed for the proper size prosthesis.
May your presence and anointing be so powerful it cannot go unrecognized by those attending to me.
Please grant good judgment and technique to those choosing and administering the anesthesia. If a vena puncture is utilized, I ask that it be performed without difficulty and successful. I ask that an air passageway is successfully maintained and that it be accomplished with gentleness and without injury or irritation to the tissues. Keep them alert to the vital signs and care of my body parts during time in which I have no voluntary control. Please guard my heart, body, soul and mind while I am under the anesthetic and not able to exercise my will according to God’s will. I ask that any and all durgs used have the intended therapeutic effect and I rebuke any and all adverse drug reactions in the Name of Jesus.
May the postoperative pain management be effective.
I ask that that healing be accelerated and successful. May the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead that dwells in me quicken my immune system to destroy any offending pathological condition or disease and grant accelerated healing. May there be minimal pain and discomfort during this process as the Comforter makes itself real to me.
May my health be restored and may the Lord Jesus Christ be glorified in my healing.
In the Name of Jesus of Nazareth, Amen.
