Prayers for doctors, nurses and healthcare workers
When your worth feels like your last result
The evaluation, the grant, the match, the ranking.
Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
Psalm 62:5-8, NIV
God, in this building my worth is my last outcome, my last evaluation, the name above mine on the paper. I keep score without meaning to. My hope comes from You, not from the ranking. Let me work hard and rest in You at the same time, and let me be glad when the person down the hall does well. Amen.
My hope comes from You
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 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.
