A Physicians prayer

Dear Lord,

Thou great physician, I kneel before thee. Since every good and perfect gift must come from Thee, I pray that you give skill to my hand, clear vision to my mind, kindness and sympathy to my heart and strength to my body.

Lord, I ask for a singleness of purpose and the ability to lift at least a part of the burden of suffering from my fellow man. I pray that I will always realise that being a physician is a privilage and honour. And, Lord, take from me all guile and worldliness so that with the simple faith of a child I will rely on Thee.

Amen.
