Dear Lord,
Please give me strength,
to face the day ahead.

Dear Lord,
Please give me courage,
as I approach each hurting bed.

Dear Lord,
Please give me wisdom
with every word I speak.

Dear Lord,
Please give me patience,
as I comfort the sick and weak.

Dear Lord,
Please give me assurance,
as the day slips into night.
That I have done the best I can,
that I have done what is right.

——————————————-

Give to my heart, Lord…
compassion and understanding.
Give to my hands,
skill and tenderness.
Give to my ears
the ability to listen.
Give to my lips
words of comfort.
Give to me, Lord…
strength for this selfless service
and enable me to give hope
to those I am called to serve.

To be a nurse requires dedication,
with years of study and preparation.
I pray for guidance and humbly ask
that I will do well at this chosen task.
When illness strikes or pain demands,
and a life is placed within my hands,
give me compassion, knowledge and skill
to do the things that comfort and heal

Suffering makes patients’ fears grow worse
and they seek reassurance from their nurse.
Help me see things from their point of view
and always know what is best to do.

May I have a part in some small way,
in restoring good health to someone today.
Let my work be all that I want it to be
I ask the Great Healer to work through me.

The Nicene Creed is the most widely accepted and used brief statements of the Christian Faith. In liturgical churches, it is said every Sunday as part of the Liturgy. It is Common Ground to East Orthodox, Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Calvinists, and many other Christian groups. Many groups that do not have a tradition of using it in their services nevertheless are committed to the doctrines it teaches. It is given below.

*******************************************

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.

He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayer for New Year:-

The new year,
like a new born child,
is placed in our hands as the old year passes away.
The days and weeks to come are God’s gift;
they carry God’s blessing.
As a blessing we welcome them.
Our hope for the year ending is that
all that was good in it remain with us and
all that was harmful be left behind.

Bless us, O Lord,
and bless the time and seasons yet to come.
Teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain wisdom of heart.
And fill this new year with your kindness,
that we may be glad and rejoice
all the days of our life.
