I remember the night before my surgery so clearly. I was lying awake, staring at the ceiling, feeling a mix of fear, uncertainty, and quiet prayers rising from my heart.
What if I don’t wake up the same? In that moment, I realized how helpless I truly was, and how much I needed God’s presence more than anything else.
That’s when I turned to prayer not because I had all the right words, but because my heart needed peace.
I spoke to God honestly, just like I’m speaking to you now. I asked for strength, for calmness, and for His healing hands to guide the doctors and protect my life.
If you’re facing an upcoming surgery, I want you to know this you are not alone. I’ve been there, and these prayers helped me walk through fear with faith and hope.
