Prayers for doctors, nurses and healthcare workers
When you are carrying too much
For the weight that does not clock out, and the cry in the car.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29, NIV
Lord, I am weary from carrying this anxiety. I come to You. Take my burdens and give me rest. You are gentle and humble in heart.
Come to Me, from the fear or anxiety prayers
The other moments
- Before a shift Steady hands, a clear head, and kindness when you are tired.
- After losing a patient The day someone died and you were there, and the family in the hallway.
- The case you cannot put down The one you keep reopening: the miss, the what-if, the guilt.
- When your worth feels like your last result The evaluation, the grant, the match, the ranking.
- When you are pressed from every side Hard pressed, not crushed.
- The 3 a.m. one For the night shift, and the nights you cannot sleep.
- When you are the one who is supposed to have the answer A high priest who understands weakness.
- Sunday, on call For the Sundays the schedule takes.
