[Pastoral Prayer]

 

◎ After Successful Surgery

 

◎ Psalm 91

 

◎ Prayer

God of glory and might!

We thank you for your healing power at work within Lawrence’s body.

We are grateful for the skill of the surgeon and all who assisted to bring this child of yours through surgery.

We are relieved that the prognosis looks good, and that he will soon be active again.

We pray now for good rest, for quality care from the hospital staff, and the loving attention of Lawrence’s family and friends in the coming days of recovery.

For all the blessings you give us, we praise you.

For all the trials we experience, we ask your grace and mercy.

For it is in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
