wall.
On Jeanne’s last visit, I took a few minutes after the visit to write it down.
PHYSICIAN’S PRAYER
O Lord, in Your wisdom
and power and love, you heal the sick when all other help
has failed and restore men
to life after life itself is
done.
I pray that You will light my mind with thorough knowledge and remedies for my patients ills and touch my heart with deep compassion for their sufferings.
When I stretch out my hand to minister to the sick, let me heal them with a portion of Your wisdom and Your power.
And when they are not to be healed, let me help them to a deeper faith and resignation in Your love.
Amen
When I asked Dr. Nobles where he had gotten the prayer, he said that one his patients had given it to him. Dr. Nobles lives that prayer daily.
