Surgery Patients

I’m just realizing just how many people I know who have had surgeries lately.  I don’t know what all has been done—some people are really private about these things—but I know that there are a number of people in recovery right now, taking narcotics for pain or just beginning to get out and about after weeks of rest.  I am so thankful that the people closest to me are all healthy, but I know changes can occur in an instant. 

Dear Holy Healer, be with those who are recovering from surgery.  There are so many who have had multiple surgeries and others who have had acute issues.  Give them each the patience to sit still so that they take the appropriate time to heal fully.  Amen.
