Heavenly Father, I praise You for giving us intelligence and different skills and talents. I praise You for doctors who understand and use medicine to help heal others. I praise You for being the one in whom I trust. Help me today to take command of my morning and shake all evil and anxiety out of it.
Holy Spirit, I need You to be my strength today as I go to have surgery. With my history, so many things could go wrong. Help the doctor and nurses today as they repair my knee. Help me get through recovery and make it home safely. I put my life and body in Your hands and trust in You. I desire and seek Your will in all things, and now I must put all my faith in You. Help me to have the resolve to be like Paul and to be content whether I live or die each day to do Your will and build Your kingdom until You call me home.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. (Amen) (Matthew 6:9-13)
