Operation ... This word scares even brave men. And although today medicine has reached unprecedented heights, we are afraid of medical intervention to the point of trembling knees. Operations are different: under local anesthesia or general anesthesia, complex hours and those that take 10-15 minutes. There are operations whose consequences are joy. For example, the birth of a child through cesarean section, or the healing of a disease that has plagued for years. There are operations after which you need to rehabilitate and recover for a long time, get used to a new life, or prepare for the next surgery. In a word, there can be a lot of situations. One thing unites them - a person’s fear of the unknown, and sometimes fear for his life. It is at such moments that each of us understands how powerless he is and how he needs God's help. This article has been written for such people, which tells how much prayer has before the operation, what it should be.
What should be a prayer?
Prayer before the operation, and indeed any prayer to God, is valid only when the prayer has faith in the person to whom he addresses the prayer. Christian prayer has nothing to do with conspiracy, mantras, psychological attitudes. A prayer before an operation for a truly believing person is entrusting himself with the hands of God, submission to His good will, blessing the hands of doctors who will touch your flesh.
Before you read the prayer before the operation, consider whether you are a Christian? Do you believe in the one to whom you are praying? If your answer is yes, then pray with all your heart in your own words. If you have never done this before, use the sample provided in this article. The Bible does not clearly indicate what words a Christian should use in prayer to the Lord, and therefore it is permissible to use the prayers written by priests and prayer in simple words that come from the heart.
Before you pray ...
Confess your sins to God, ask for forgiveness for them. Forgive everyone who hurt you. If there is such an opportunity, go to church and take communion, ask the priest to pray for the upcoming surgery. Come home, read the Gospel - there are many cases described of how Christ healed diseases. If you do all
this, prayer before surgery will give you strength and faith in a successful outcome.
The same should be the prayer for the patient before the operation. However, if this person is far from faith in God, also pray for the salvation of his soul.
Prayer example
"In Your hands, Lord Jesus Christ, I give you my spirit and my life.
I beg you, Almighty, bless and have mercy on me. Grant me, Lord, life and long days before Your face. Thy mercy be upon me. Forgive me my sins in the name of the Holy Son Jesus Christ. I hope in you and trust in you, my Lord and my God. For you in truth alone Christ, the Son of the living God, has come into the sinful world to save us. Thy blessing be upon the hands of doctors, on what they will do. Thy will be done, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and forever and ever. Amen."
