“The doctor says, "We need to start treatment immediately," but You say, "I am the Lord, your Healer" (Exodus 15:26). I trust in Your healing power.
The doctor says, "You need to manage your diet and exercise regularly," but You say, "Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Help me to honor You with my body.
The doctor says, "We need to monitor your condition closely," but You say, "I give you life and peace" (John 10:10, Psalm 119:165). I receive Your life and peace.
The doctor says, "Therapy and medication can help manage symptoms," but You say, "Cast your cares on Me, and I will sustain you" (1 Peter 5:7). I cast my cares on You.
The doctor says, "Take this medication as directed," but You say, "The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations" (Revelation 22:2). You heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). You restore health and heal wounds (Jeremiah 30:17). By His wounds, I am healed (1 Peter 2:24).
I trust in Your healing power, Lord. Guide the hands of my healthcare providers, and grant them wisdom. I receive Your healing and restoration.
I thank You for Your promise to heal and restore. I trust in Your love and care. I choose to trust Your word, Lord. Guide me, strengthen me, and help me to follow You in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.”

“Doctor Not Butcher
(Medical Anthem Sonnet)
We are the Doctors,
Our worship is to the ailing.
We don't bow to politicians,
Nor to bureaucratic bullying.
Service to the sick
is service to the divine.
There is no greater divinity,
than being a human lifeline.
We don't recognize borders,
We don't recognize states.
Patientcare is our national anthem,
Reward of medicine is smiling patients.
Dead doctor postpones death,
Living doctor improves life.
While butcher doctors monetize malady,
To empower life, real doctors strive.”
