Nurse's Prayers
As I care
for my patients today.
Be there with me
O Lord I pray.
Make my words kind
-it means so much.
And in my hands
place Your healing touch.
Let Your love shine
through all that I do.
So those in need
may hear and feel You.
Amen
Give me strength and wisdom,
When others need my touch;
A soothing word to speak to them,
Their hearts yearn for so much.
Give me joy and laughter,
To lift a weary soul;
Pour in me compassion,
To make the broken whole.
Give me gentle, healing hands,
For those left in my care;
A blessing to those who need me,
This is a Nurse's prayer.
Amen
Allison Chambers Coxsey
Let me dedicate my life today,
in the care of those who come my way.
Let me touch each one with healing hand,
and the gentle art for which I stand.
And then tonight when day is done,
Let me rest in peace,
If I've helped just one.
Amen
Dear Lord,
please give me strength,
To face the day ahead.
Dear Lord, please give me courage,
As I approach each hurting bed.
Dear Lord, please give me wisdom
With every word I speak.
Dear Lord, please give me patience,
As I comfort the sick and weak.
Dear Lord, Please give me assurance,
As the day slips into night.
That I have done the best I can,
That I have done what's right.
Amen
Give to my heart, Oh Lord...
compassion and understanding.
Give to my hands skill and tenderness.
Give to my ears the ability to listen.
Give to my lips words of comfort.
Give to me, Lord...
strength for this selfless service,
and enable me to give hope
to those I am able to serve.
Amen
Lord, please help me to bring,
comfort where there is pain,
courage where there is fear,
hope where there is dispair,
acceptance when the end is near,
and a gentle touch with
tenderness, patience, and love.
Amen
