First surgery today; please pray!

Surgery will start in a few minutes; it is expected to be 12-14 hours, and the second surgery is scheduled for Friday; there may be a third one as well.

Father in heaven, You Who gave Your only Son, a pure and unblemished lamb, in sacrifice for the salvation of the world, that we who were born as men might be reborn as your children; Your ways are not our ways, but You have taught us to pray, to love one another, and to carry one another's burdens. And so we pour our hearts out to you, dearest Father, for Sophia, for her family, and for her surgeons and team, that if it be your Holy Will, this surgery will find that Jesus the Divine physician has already healed her; that those who do not believe may give You thanks and praise; but if that be not your Will, Father, guide the surgeons' hands, that they may discharge their task successfully. Most importantly, we pray for Sophia and her family, that whatever the outcome You have determined, that the Holy Spirit bring them closer to You, Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
