I am praying for your perseverance of this recovery from heart surgery — surgery to remove a disease of the heart. As you leave it behind and are done with it as a thing of the past, you can pray Psalm 103 where it celebrates that God is the one “who heals my diseases”. And as Peter guides us you can identify with Christ during this pain of recovery. 1 Peter 4:12-13. As hard as it might be, Jesus bore more out a love for us that is as deep as the sea and as wide as the sky.
“Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.”
