For your friend to pray:
Loving Father, I entrust myself to your care this day; guide with wisdom and skill the minds and hands of the medical people who minister in your Name, and grant that every cause of illness be removed, I may be restored to soundness of health and learn to live in more perfect harmony with you and with those around me. Through Jesus Christ. Amen.
And for us to pray:
Lord Jesus,
help N (Rascalking’s friend). as he prepares for this operation.
In your love, guard and protect him.
Through the skills of the doctors
and the care of everyone else,
bring him back to health and full activity.
Lord Jesus,
we praise you for ever and ever. Amen.
