Iwas feeling pretty low. It was the week before I was scheduled for gallbladder surgery, and I couldn’t escape my worried, gloomy thoughts. The surgeon was highly recommended but was new to me―and he didn’t have the best bedside manner. My sister, an experienced operating-room director, who usually put my mind at ease about my medical care, had moved away recently. This would be my first time facing an operation without her right there by my side.

I was on my own. What if something goes wrong? I tossed and turned all that night.

The next day I decided I had to get my mind off of everything. A good book, that’ll do the trick, I thought. I headed to the bookcase in my guest bedroom to get something to read. Next to the bookcase was a stack of novels I had picked up from a library sale over a year ago and had not gotten around to putting away. Right on top I spied a best-selling mystery novel. This will keep me distracted, I thought. Mysteries are my guilty pleasure.

I sat down in the bedroom, opened the book and began to read. I couldn’t believe it―the book’s prologue began with a woman awaiting surgery! She was also feeling worried, struggling with knowing if she had chosen the right hospital, the right doctor.

“This is a team effort,” the doctor assures her. “We mustn’t forget someone very important,” he continues, “the most important member of our team. Do you know who that is?”

I read on, breathless.

The doctor pats the woman’s hand gently and points upward. “God,” he tells her.

That doctor’s words stopped me cold. The connection couldn’t have been stronger or the circumstances more real to me.

My life wasn’t only in the doctor’s hands, it was in God’s as well. Just the words that I needed to hear. Immediately I felt more confident and hopeful about the upcoming surgery.

And the most amazing thing? The character’s name. It was the same as mine―Grace!

我感到情绪很低落。那是我被安排做胆囊外科手术的前一个星期，我无法摆脱焦虑、沮丧的念头。那个外科医生虽然受到普遍的赞扬，可是对我而言却是重新开始――并且他不具备最佳的对待病人的态度。我的姐姐，一个经验丰富的手术室主任，最近调走了，她通常使我能轻松地对待医疗保健。这将是我首次在她正好不在我身边时面对手术。

就我一个人，要是出了差错会怎么样呢？那一整夜我都辗转反侧。

第二天，我决定必须暂时将一切都忘记。我想，一本好书，就会奏效。我要拿本书读，就朝着客厅中的书柜走去。书柜旁是一摞子一年前我在图书馆大减价时得到的小说，还没有分类收起来。我突然在正上方看见了一本畅销的神秘的小说。我想，这会使我转移注意力。秘密的宗教仪式是我感到惭愧的乐事。

我坐在卧室里，打开书开始阅读。我简直无法相信――书的序言始于一位正等待着外科手术的女子！她也感到焦虑，奋力想知道自己是否选择了正确的医院、正确的医生。

“这是一个团队的共同努力，”医生安慰她道。“我们一定不能忘记有个非常重要的人，”他接着说，“我们团队中最重要的成员。你知道那是谁吗？”

我屏息，继续阅读。

医生温柔地轻拍那女子的手，朝上指着。“上帝，”他对她说。

医生的话使我不再畏缩。对我而言，这两件事之间的联系不可能更牢固了或者说境况不可能更真实了。

我的生命不仅受医生的掌控，它也受上帝的掌控。我需要听的正是这些话。我立刻感到自信多了，并对即将来临的外科手术抱有希望。

那么最令人惊奇的事呢？书中人物的名字。它与我同名――格雷斯。
