A Physician's Prayer

Lord, Thou Great Physician, I kneel before thee. Since every good and perfect gift must come from Thee, I pray:

Give skill to my hand, clear vision to my mind, kindness and sympathy to my heart. Give me singleness of purpose, strength to lift at least a part of the burden of my suffering fellowmen, and a true realization of the rare privilege that is mine. Take from my heart all guile and worldliness, that with the simple faith of a child I may rely on Thee. Amen.
