Prayers for breast cancer surgery

All-Powerful Father, I know that you will be with me during my upcoming surgery. Many fears and doubtful thoughts course through my mind. I am worried about how my body will react to the surgery, that something will go wrong. Please cleanse me of those.

Teach me to pray about everything, to tell You everything. I know You will take away these fears and be with me. Thank You for Your presence.

Jesus, my Savior, in the coming days my mind and body will go through many challenges. Please give me Your strength and presence. I know Your power to heal, Jesus. Please reveal that to my own eyes. Please take away the fears that control my thoughts. May I feel beautiful, natural, and healthy after this surgery. In every moment of fear or worry, make me aware of your presence, Jesus. I know You love me as Your daughter.

Self-Image Prayer
Compassionate Father, I know that You made me in Your beautiful image. I am wonderfully and fearfully designed on the inside and out. But despite these reminders, I feel insecure and unable to love myself. I am fearful that my breast cancer treatments will further destroy my self-image. Please, Lord, grow my confidence. Please open my eyes to my beautiful body, heart, and mind. I am strong and unwavering, and for that I am beautiful. Please shine Your love on me so I can love myself. In Jesus’ beautiful name, Amen.

Patience Prayer
O God, my Strength, my breast cancer treatments are challenging my patience. My soul feels restless. I want to feel normal and myself again. I want to feel beautiful and healthy. Remind me of my internal beauty, for I was made in Your perfect image. Remind me of Your almighty plan and love for me. I know that You will walk with me through this. Please deliver patience to my heart. In Jesus’ compassionate name, Amen.

Prayer of Anticipation
O Jehovah, my God, with my upcoming breast cancer operations approaching, my soul is heavy with anticipation. May I mold that nervous energy into a fixation on Your unwavering love. As I focus on Your love, may my anticipation become faith and peaceful surrender to Your plan. I believe in Your strength, Lord. I believe that You will keep me safe from evil. Please remind my soul of this with every anxious or anticipatory moment. I know we will get through this together. In Your Son’s glorious name, Amen.

Marriage Prayer
Lord Jesus, my Rock and Salvation, I need Your guidance and truth. As I undergo my breast cancer treatments, I pray that my marriage stays strong. May I come home to a healthy and unchanging love. May I be there for him just as he is there for me during this hardship. Please keep our love alive. When my self-image struggles after treatment, may I still feel beautiful in my marriage. Carry us through the highs and lows of this chapter and fix our attention on You. In Your loving name, Amen.

Isolation in Community Prayer
God of All Comfort, please surround me in a community of supporters. Help me see Your love in a sea of people. I feel isolated by my breast cancer treatments as if no one understands. Please bring me to women who have walked the same path.* May we share our testimonies and pain. May we lift each other up and bring light back to our spirits. I know community is good. Please lead me to this place. In Jesus’ gracious name, Amen.
