Prayers for doctors, nurses and healthcare workers
When you are the one who is supposed to have the answer
A high priest who understands weakness.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4:15-16, NIV
Jesus, You were tempted in every way and understand my fears. I approach Your throne with confidence, not cowering in shame. Give me grace to help in this moment of anxiety. You understand my weakness.
Grace in Time of Need, from the fear or anxiety prayers
The other moments
- Before a shift Steady hands, a clear head, and kindness when you are tired.
- When you are carrying too much For the weight that does not clock out, and the cry in the car.
- 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.
- Sunday, on call For the Sundays the schedule takes.
