Upon successful completion of this operation, I encourage you to keep building your faith with these Christian words of encouragement after surgery.
God can come through for you too. All He asks is that you have faith. And even if your faith is the size of a grain of a mustard seed, it’s still enough to access God’s promises.
“And He *said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20.

Isaiah 41:10 – Spiritual encouragement for when you’re fearful of the unknown
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
The Good News: Fear is of the devil, and the intention is to manipulate and force you into thinking negatively about the outcome of the surgery and become anxious. But take comfort and fear not because the Lord will be with you to strengthen and uphold you with His right hand of righteousness.
Psalm 23:4 – Spiritual encouragement for when you’re anxious
” Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
The Good News: Take a look at Philippians 4:6 “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
Your Heavenly Father doesn’t want you to be anxious; anything may cause you to become anxious: the difficulty level of the operation, fear of the outcome, or the doctor’s report. But take heart because God will go through the valley with you, and nothing will harm you.

“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”

Psalm 91:4-5 – Spiritual encouragement for when you stressed
“4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

You’re secured in Christ, and nothing can pluck you out from God; it is well.
