Description
If we believe in the power of prayer, and if we pray regularly, there are excellent reasons to continue this wonderful habit into our patient interactions. The Lord can work through prayer in healthcare to bless both the patient and the caregiver. Various aspects of praying with and for patients are considered including why, when, how to, and how to document, along with some delightful examples.
