Nurses Prayer

TRUSTFUL APPEAL

Lord as I start my caring to day help me to fix my mind on thee; to be devoted to thee; To my profession. I prostrate before thee and promise to deal with all under my care with compassionate understanding. Please help me Lord to surrender trustfully to thee.

O Lord, I give myself to Thee
Thine ever, only Thine to be
Christian Hymn.

Remember, our spiritual life depends as much as our going to him, as on his coming to us. It is not only our ascent to God but His descent to Man.

Hast thou not heard His silent steps?
He comes, comes, ever comes,
(poet) Tagore.
