Faith in the Operating Room: The Benefits of Praying Before Surgery

Surgery is a medical treatment that involves operations on or manipulations of the patient's body and, usually, cutting the body open to perform these operations. All surgeries cannot be said to be bad. However, not all of them are normal. Unprofessional surgeries have caused several deaths.

Being part of the human industry, Satan and his demons are capable of influencing surgeons to become careless during surgeries and causing countless deaths. Nevertheless, it has been proven that premature deaths can be prevented through fervent prayer.

“⁶Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God”

Philippians 4:6

“³Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not”

Jeremiah 33:3

God has invited us to pray and seek His face continually, even before surgeries. That is why it is unwise to go for surgeries without going into prayer first. You cannot afford to take anything for granted. A lot of people have died under the knife because of their nonchalance.

Spend quality time in prayer before any surgery. Make your heart's desires known to God through prayers. All things are possible when you commit them to the Almighty. Equally, salvation and peace can come through the fervent prayers of the saints; likewise, healing and mercy.

“³⁴And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague”

Mark 5:34

“¹⁴Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord”

James 5:14

Some evil verdicts, premature deaths, and destruction can be averted through prayers. As such, it is wise to pray and seek God’s face before surging.
