“To weep with those who suffer does not mean that we have a good cry and get on with other things. It is more that we have a good cry and we are never the same.” ~Jan Johnson

Prayer
God of the suffering,
Through your word, you promise to walk with each person through trials and tribulations, never leaving anyone alone. Guide us, through your example, to walk with our patients each day—through their pain, anxiety, and worry—assuring them that their health is of utmost importance to us. May our presence reflect your steadfast love, reminding them that they never walk alone on their journey. In gratitude for your example in the work we do, we pray. Amen.
