27 Powerful Bible Verses for Surgery or Operations

In this article, we will explore bible verses for surgery or operations that you can use in prayer, meditation, or in scripture reading.

Going in for surgery can be a very daunting and even scary thing. It’s even scary when we are not the ones having the surgery. But as Christians, we can find strength, hope, and peace in God’s Word. I know that when I had surgery, that prayer and the Bible were such an encouragement to me. Feeling God’s presence during that time was precisely what I needed. The same was for when my dad had open heart surgery, and my mom had a hysterectomy. God is faithful to meet with us and bring to our soul and body what it needs.

With that said, I wanted to share some of my favorite Bible verses for surgery. You can use these verses for yourself or the loved one of a friend going into surgery. They would be great to use in prayer or meditation. But you could even use them in a get-well card or even a note for flowers.

I have broken up the verses into three sections:

• Bible Verses for Surgery: These scripture verses can be used at any time for the surgery.
  
• Bible Verses Before Surgery: These scripture verses can be used to pray, share, or read before the surgery takes place.
  
• Bible Verses After Surgery: These scripture verses can be used after surgery when you are recovering and healing up. They are great for prayer, meditation, and even sharing with a loved one .
