A NURSE’S PRAYER FOR GOD’S BLESSINGS

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, Heed a nurse’s prayer, dear Lord.

AMEN
