My Father, you are my shepherd and protection. I pray that you will see me through this surgery. May your leading hand be on the surgeon so that this surgical intervention may be a successful operation. I thank you because I know that even doctors are your tools and your assistants on the earth.
It is well; be at peace, God is in control, and He will see you through. Now, here are 20 calming bible verses to read before surgery:
20 Bible Verses Before Surgery
I pray that the following Bible verses before surgery will comfort you and remind you of the peace and confidence we have in Christ
Exodus 15:26
Even before your surgery, the Lord says ” If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.”
The Lord is he that healeth you: Out of all the bible verses to read before surgery this is one of my favorite because it makes it very clear that the Lord is he that healeth you. It’s the Lord’s will to heal you; just declare and claim this promise of healing now.
Psalm 118:17
“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.”
You shall not die: Psalm 118:17 is a powerful psalm to read before surgery because it reinforces and tells of God’s commitment to your life.
I would encourage you at this moment to say like the psalmist, ” I will not die, but live to declare the works of the Lord.”
Matthew 8:17
“That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.”
Jesus Christ took your sickness: Jesus Christ paid it all, he came to the earth, was captured, lied upon, persecuted, sentenced, battered, and left to die on a cross, buried, and rose on the day.
And all of that was done for you, claim your healing now, and for this reason, Matthew 8:17 was also added to this list of 20 bible verses to read before surgery.
Isaiah 53:5
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed”
You are healed: If Matthew 8:17 did not convince you, then Isaiah 53:5 makes it clear that you are healed; notice it did not say you’re going to get well, but it says you’re healed; that past tense (already happened).
In God’s eye; you’re healed; claim, walk in it, and see it manifest. Isaiah 53:5 are among the best bible verses for surgery or after surgery to read. This is why I’ve chosen to also add it to the list of bible verses to read before surgery.
Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”
Psalm 121:3-8
“He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.”
Psalm 138:8
“The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.”
Psalm 91:1-2
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
Isaiah 43:1-2
“But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
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 20:7
“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.”
Psalm 91:15
“He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.”

Psalm 103:3-4
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies.”
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee
Jeremiah 17:14
“Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.”
Isaiah 43:3-4
“For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.”
Luke 6:19
“And the people all tried to touch him because power was coming from him and healing them all.”
Healing belongs to you: healing is the children’s bread and you’re a child of God, claim your healing now.
James 5:14-15
“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Jeremiah 30:17
“‘But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord.”
Isaiah 57:18-19
I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord, and I will heal him.”
Even as you prepare for this medical operation, God wants to heal you.

What is a Good Bible Verse for Healing?
Jerimiah 17:14 is a great bible verse to confess for healing because it says, “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.”

There are other healing scriptures in the bible, especially Isaiah 53:5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed.”

Isaiah 41:10 is an excellent Bible Verse for Strength and Healing and it 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.”

Throughout the scriptures, God uses men to bless men, and maybe you believe He will use this surgeon to help you overcome this medical condition. But what does God say about surgeons?
What Does the Bible Say About Surgeons?
The Bible has not explicitly mentioned the word “surgeon,” but there were physicians back in biblical times who can pass as surgeons today. Here is what the Bible says about surgeons ” And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any.” (Luke 8:43)
In other words, without the grace and mercy of God, surgeons are as helpless in helping you as you are, so be mindful to put your trust in God and not the surgeon. It would be great if your surgeon believes in biblical healing. Nevertheless, God is your father, and here is a powerful collection of prayers you can declare for healing, successful operation, courage, strength, and quick recovery.

Fear, uncertainty, and anxiety seem to get the better of us in these situations. But when we remember that our Father is with us holding us, our attitude changes.
