Catherine with a C

there are a few surgeries the next couple of days!!

Thought I would jot you a prayer that truly helped me~

~~O Lord, I know I had better do my praying now.
In the morning they will sedate me & tranquilize me & whisk me away in a fog.
I will see faces& hear voices but they will blend & merge into a haze.
So I pray.

I pray for the surgeon whose skill is so vital.
I pray for the nurses whose help is so important.
I pray for the anesthitist & all the support staff.
I know You work with & through all of them.
I pray for my loved ones who are anxious & who feel so helpless waiting in the lounge.

I pray for me.
I confess that I am anxious. Surely it would be unnatural not to feel a knot of apprehension deep inside. I want to be well & strong again. I know such things cannot be guaranteed, but I know You understand my wanting & You care.
So be with me even though I will be too far out of it to pray. Be with the Doctors & nurses even though they will be too busy to pray. Now let me rest.
Somewhere the Psalmist said of You, "He gives His loved ones sleep." Thank you God, & I'll say "Goodnight!" insteand of Amen.
