“Just before my Liver Transplant.
I expect coldness. Sterility. Machines humming like indifferent gods.
But then, from somewhere behind the equipment, a voice calls out:
“Would you like me to pray for you?”
I am startled.
This is not protocol. This is not in the manuals.
Hospitals aren’t supposed to do this — especially not here, in the heart of a sterile operating theater.
I am unnerved, undone.
Prayer in this place?
Prayer among scalpels and suction tubes, monitors and masks?
And yet… yes.
These are not just seasoned professionals.
They are wounded healers.
Prayer warriors in scrubs.
Stepping into the gap between my broken body and the God who alone can heal it.
For a moment, I am not a number, not a diagnosis, not a MELD score.
I am a soul about to be lifted.
And I remember Loma Linda’s Hospital slogan — painted on every wall, printed on every brochure:
“To Make Man Whole.”
Tonight, that line is not marketing.
It is a mission.
It is what these strangers in masks are fighting for: my body, my spirit, my survival.
The epitome of what I need.”
