(For our internet guests, the following text is taken from the printed version of the Prayer Guide we are using for the 50 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Feel free to interact by leaving comments on this page!)

“All of us who attempt to heal the wounds of others will ourselves be wounded; it is, after all, inherent in the relationship.”
-from “Healing the Wounds” by David Hilfiker, M.D.

“To be a doctor, then, means much more than to dispense pills or to patch up or repair torn flesh and shattered minds. To be a doctor is to be an intermediary between man and God.”
-from “To Be a Doctor ” by Felix Marti-Ibanez

From the Word:

Luke 5:31-32

Think about it…

In what way can Doctor’s be like Jesus?

What kind of stresses do you think Doctor’s face?

What are some of the joys that Doctor’s encounter? 

Prayer Points:

• Pray for God’s wisdom as doctor’s diagnose and treat patients
• Pray that the doctor’s in our community will have the right motives for doing what they do.
• Pray that God will help them relieve the stress they gain from the practice of medicine
• Pray for the doctor shortage and that God will bring more doctor’s to Hanover (and area)
• Pray that doctor’s who don’t know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour will receive Him.

Take Action!

Write a note of appreciation to your doctor (if you are fortunate enough to have one!)
