Thank you, Lord, for giving my hands strength and purpose,
protect them as they do Your work.

Just as patients commit their health into my hands,
I commit my spirit into Yours.

Bless my hands whether they are folded in prayer,
or easing man's pain.

Let my patient's feel Your presence every time
my hands are laid upon them.

Thank You for the opportunity to practice this art
which only You could conceive.

And help me to remember Your nail scarred hands as they
are proof of Your ultimate healing power.

Amen
