Healing prayer for a friend with cancer

Almighty God,

Who gives mighty oceans commands and yet created the fragile wings of a butterfly.
Nothing is beyond your grasp.
You order the universe and give birds flight,
And yet you asked us to call you Abba Father.
You know each one of us and understand every detail of our lives.
So come, come with the power and authority of the waves
And wash my friend with healing.
Come, with the beauty and gentleness of a butterfly
Bring calm to this mind and peace to this body.

I come, with your gift of faith
And ask for you to take my prayers and fill them with your redemptive touch,
Restoration power
And great love.

Amen.

Prayer for surgery and healing
(a prayer for a successful recovery after an operation)

O Lord,

Be so close beside my dear one. Come whisper words of great hope into their hearts. Shut out the pain, the worry and fear and wrap them up within your soft, gentle love.
Bless the efforts of the surgeons who have worked to bring life and healing to his/her body. Please protect and keep him/her in your rest and care. May they know your presence close by each day.

Amen.
