Choosing a doctor is one of the most important decisions a person can make. Everyone would like to have one who is personable and compassionate, but in these times, that could be a problem. I have to say that my family has been blessed with the doctors that God has placed in our lives in needs of time.

My wife’s gynecologist, Dr. Bennie Nobles,

is one of those special professionals that not

only practices medicine but also has a ministry. He’s always upbeat and has encouraging

words, regardless of the problem. I’ve often noticed a framed physician’s prayer on his

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.
