God is with us in our work place

There is no limitation with God when we trust our care with Him. It was a Sunday morning where I worked as the day supervisor of nurses at a Christian Science Care facility. We had about 32 patients to care for. Normally we had six or seven nurses on staff on Sunday but this day only I and one other nurse arrived. The other nurses had all called in sick.

My first thought was how I am going to take care of all these patients. This Bible verse came to thought “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” I knew that I was about God’s business and He was the one performing it. Since all of those patients were loved by God He certainly would give them all the proper nursing care they needed.

When I told the night supervisor that there were just two of us working she volunteered to stay for an extra four hours after her shift had ended. Two nurses were on their way to church and said when they got back from church they would also help.

I refused to be afraid. I kept praying that “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”(Rom. 8:28) I also affirmed that it was not physical care that was needed for the patients but peace and the presence of the love of God. A calm presence was maintained on the floor and everyone felt it.

The day went very smooth and all the patients got all the care they needed. Mary Baker Eddy said in her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, “The calm and exalted thought or spiritual apprehension is at peace.” (506:11-12)
