Nursing home prayer

With all the things nurses have to do, it’s easy to feel exhausted, stressed out, and frustrated. While taking a break and starting a new hobby can help you recharge and regain focus, it isn’t always possible for us to be given a few days off. This is where prayers can help you.

3The  Student Nurse’s Prayer

Lord, I know we go through this everyday but please give the knowledgeas to why I actually wanted to go to nursing school.

Give me the strength to make it through those boring lectures without falling asleep.

Please give me the patience to make it through the clinical duties with instructors that can’t just give you the right answer and on the same note, give the nurses the ability to remember what it was like to be a student and give us just a little more respect.

Give me the endurance to read all the assigned readings and be able to remember it when I am taking a test with the right answers.

Give my family and friends the ability to realize I really am on the edge of insanity.

Finally, Lord, give me the vision to see that one day I will be a real nurse and I will never have to wear this ugly uniform again.

21Prayer to Be a Nurse

To be a nurse is to walk with God, Along the path that our Master trod; To soothe the achings of human pain, To faithfully serve for little gain, To lovingly do the kindly deed, A cup of water to one in need, A tender hand on a fevered brow, A word of cheer to those living now; To reach the souls through its body’s woe Oh, this is the way that Jesus would go. Oh, white-capped nurses with hearts so true, Our Great Physician is working through you.

22My Nurse’s Prayer

When I falter, give me courage. When I tire, renew my strength. When I weaken because I’m human, Inspire me on to greater length. If doctors and patients become demanding, And days are too short for all my duty, Help me remember I chose to serve, To do so with grace, and spiritual beauty. In humility, Lord, I labour long hours, and though I sometimes may fret; My mission is mercy. Abide with me, that I may never forget.

23A Nurse’s Prayer

My God, teach me to receive the sick in Thy Name. Give to my efforts success for the glory of Thy Holy Name. It is Thy work; without Thee, I cannot succeed. Grant that the sick Thou hast placed in my care may be abundantly blessed, and not one of them be lost because of any neglect on my part. Help me to overcome every temporal weakness, and strengthen in me whatever may enable me to bring joy to the lives of those I serve. Give me grace, for the sake of Thy sick ones and of those lives that will be influenced by them.

24Nursing Prayer (When You Lose A Patient)

Most precious and loving God.

I pause in this moment, expressing my sadness and disbelief.You O Lord gave me the gift of compassion, the skill and talent to minister, yet in this moment I feel the sadness and loss for the patient you allowed me to serve.I pause in this moment and remember the subtle smile, the cheerful Hello and the whispers to thank you.Be gracious O Lord.Allow the loving moments to linger, the pain to flee and the blessed assurance that your cofort is more than enough for me and the family member who have walked this road.I have given it my all and have shared in the healing process.Strengthen as only you can for I need your guidance. Lead me o a brighter day.For I have touched your love, shared your creation and I am grateful for the tears in my eyes that allowed me to see the rainbow of a life you have given.Bless, I pray, this day. Amen.

to make mountains fall,but if I lack LOVEthen I am nothing at all.
