Surgical / Medical Crisis

I hold my fear honestly before God — bringing it to him is not a lack of faith

I trust that God is present in operating rooms and hospital corridors as much as in churches

I see the medical team caring for me as instruments of God's provision, not replacements for his care

I ask for prayer from my community rather than facing this quietly and alone

I prepare practically — arrangements, conversations, paperwork — as an act of love for those who depend on me

I bring my questions and fears to God in honest conversation, not sanitized prayer

When outcomes are uncertain, I choose to trust God's character even when I cannot understand his plan

A difficult outcome is not proof that God has abandoned me or that my faith failed

I let people serve me practically — meals, rides, company — without deflecting their care

When it is over, I mark it — gratitude expressed to God and to the people who showed up
