Surgery of any kind can be a nerve-racking experience, for both your daughter and those around her that love and care for her.
A great way to ease the anxiety is to put your focus (and her focus) on the Lord in prayer.
In Psalm 94 verse 19 it says: “When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.” It reminds us that the comfort of the Lord will cheer our souls.
When we focus on God’s truth we know that it is well with our souls. Prayer is a great way to share your heart with the Lord and let Him know your fears and your worries.
Use these prayers to share your heart with the Lord. There will be various options for prayers to use during the process of your daughter undergoing surgery as well as prayers for the recovery process.
At the end, there will be an option for you to leave a prayer request. Please leave any prayers you may have involving your experience with your daughter having surgery.
Allow other believers around the world to be praying specifically for this cause. There is power in our unity in prayer and through this situation we can rest in Christ and know He hears our prayers and cares for us all.

Closing Thoughts
While surgical procedures can vary in levels of invasiveness, they all can be a cause of stress for the person getting the procedure and the family or caretakers as well.
While your daughter is in surgery, your mind will be racing and you’ll be thinking of everything from her first prayer as a toddler to her graduation or even her wedding day. You’ll think about the sometimes challenging teenage years or major milestones like the first time she got behind the wheel. If your daughter is younger then you’re probably imagining all these future events occurring.
This is totally normal but now it’s time to slow down and stay in the moment. Being in prayer to our God Who cares deeply about His children is so good for our hearts, minds, and souls.
Focusing on God’s truth will combat the fear and the anxiety that can come from this situation.
In Matthew 6:34 it says “ Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”.
This is such a good reminder to us all to not focus on the fears of tomorrow, but to focus on what God has given us today.
