Prayers . . . on longing for peace

 

 

PRAYER FOR A NON-CHRISTIAN TO PRAY

ON THE WAY TO SURGERY

 

 

God, I've never had much time for you, hut I'm really scared, and I need your help.  Will you help me, God?  I know I'm guilty of a lot of things you don't approve of, but I believe your Son Jesus died on the cross for me.  I'm asking you to forgive me for my sins and take me to heaven to live with you if something goes wrong and I die in surgery.  If I live through this, though, I promise to do my best to obey you and to let you be in charge of my life.  I haven't done a very good job handling it by myself, and I know I need your help.

 

Please help me not to be so afraid, God.  When I get depressed and lonely, will you comfort me?

 

They're coming to take me into the operating room now, so I'm just going to relax and believe that I belong to you.  I believe you will be with me and help me.  Thank you, God.

 

Amen

 

Jesus said, "I assure you, anyone who believes in me already has eternal life."

 

John 6:47 NLT
