• Is there someone you know going for surgery?
• Are you troubled?
• Is it a life and death situation?

This is how I would pray for that person.

Dear Lord Jesus,

You have said in your Word (Bible) that if I call upon You, You will answer me and You will tell me great and mighty things, which I do not know. (Jer. 33:3 NASB).

Lord be with … (name of surgeon) as he performs the operation on … (name of patient). Please guide his fingers and hands, give him your wisdom as to how to operate. Be with the nurses and others who assist him in surgery.

Lord, … (name of patient) life is in your hands. Lord, I pray that … (name of patient) will not die but live to glorify Your name.
Lord Jesus, I commit … (name of patient) into your hands.

Surround him/her with your holy angels to keep watch over him/her. In You I have faith and trust.

In Jesus Almighty name.
amen.

Please note that this is not a formula for prayer but rather a simple prayer from the heart with child-like faith and trust.  A heart that is right toward God is more important than perfect words.  Lord Jesus works through people who are willing not based on our ability or capability but being available to pray with people at the point of need.
