I recently went through a surgical procedure. Major to me but minor to everyone else. I was discussing it prior with my spiritual advisor and related that I had some fear going in.
He told me that he did not believe I had fear, but apprehension. As he related that he knew of my spiritual condition, I had to agree that it was indeed apprehension and that my faith was strong.
My prayer for you is that you will continue to be strong in your faith and that the surgeon’s skill will be guided by your Creator.
Yes, you’re right, it’s more apprehension. I’ll use that word from now on. But I’m doing pretty well at letting God handle it. I just have these moments. I’m alone and I just wish to God that I had someone to stay with me, someone to care and tell me it will be ok. Even if I want to hear it 100 times.
