The most ideal bible verse for someone getting ready for surgery is Isaiah 41:10 “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
So many things might be going through your mind right now, but Isaiah reminds us that God is with you and he wants you to think about his presence as you prepare for surgery.
As it is right now, we live in a disturbing world—a world that demands us to bow to its pressure.
Sadly, we don’t always have the faith and strength we need to resist the devil and we give in; and that’s alright, as long as you continue to trust God.
As you get ready for surgery, the uncertainty of what may happen while asleep during the operation may not allow you to hold your head high and walk confidently into the operating room.
But God is your refuge, and in him, you will find the strength and faith to rest in peace knowing that God is with you.
Right now, more than anything, you need to focus on growing your faith and strength. Faith speaks about your confidence in God knowing he will come through for you, and strength speaks about your ability to stand firm on God’s word.
But where do you find the faith and strength that will allow you to endure this time of uncertainty and possible sickness?
Have you been asking yourself this question? Then I encourage you to continue reading this article as I share my favorite verse for someone getting ready for surgery. God is able, and whether you are a believer in Christ or not, God can help you today.
Strength for Surgery
What exactly defines having strength? Well, I believe that strength can be defined as the endurance or staying power to forge ahead even in hard times. Imagine yourself walking on a shaky bridge over a vicious river, hungry crocodiles lashing their jaws and waves crashing over sharp rocks. If you have the will to walk on the bridge and the faith to see yourself on the other side, you have the strength to do so.
How much faith do you need? Does my example above sound frightening? Sure, the example may sound scary but you cannot depend on yourselves to get the strength and faith you need, you need God.
God is your strength before surgery, and his words will build your faith to walk out of the operation room after a successful surgery.
But how do you know God will give you the strength you need? Let me further expand on my favorite Bible verse for surgery that reminds us of the way God gives us strength—Isaiah 41:10.
In Isaiah 41:10, God says “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
I cannot overemphasize how this is one of the best verses for someone getting ready for surgery. In this test, God reminds us that He will always be with us. He encourages us not to be fearful, as He will uphold us with His righteous right hand, allowing us to stand firm in any circumstance.
He tells us to put our faith in Him, and even though that sounds like a daunting task, the faith you may need doesn’t have to be greater than the size of a mustard seed.
I’m not going to pretend as if having faith in God is one of the easiest things you will ever do, as you may never know what may be on the other side of the bridge.
But God wants you to read his words, confess them daily, and have faith in Him. He wants you to stand firm, as he did not give you a spirit of fear, and encourage yourself to walk with him no matter what comes your way.
Don’t be dismayed, be of good cheer because you are not going into that operation room alone, God is going with you. He is the one that will walk beside you as you walk along the bridge.
Do you see why Isaiah 41:10 is my favorite scripture for someone getting ready for surgery? I’m sure now that you’ve read, confess, and mediate on the Bible verse you will increase in strength and grow in faith. You will not choose to walk alone and prevent God from going into the operation room with you.
