We rejoice with you in this promotion, knowing that God has placed you in this position of leadership for such a time as this. The burden you carry for your team and patients reflects a heart of compassion and responsibility, which honors the Lord. Yet we also see how the weight of this role is pressing heavily upon you, and we want to remind you of the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30: *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."*
Your trust in Jesus to intervene is well-placed, for He is the God of miracles who parts seas, multiplies loaves, and provides where there is lack. However, we must also address the worry that threatens to consume you. Philippians 4:6-7 commands us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* Worry is not your portion as a child of God—peace is. We encourage you to release this burden into His hands daily, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
The dangerous incidents you’ve described are deeply concerning, and we urge you to take immediate action in both the natural and the spiritual. In the natural, document these incidents and bring them to your supervisor’s attention with a clear plan for temporary solutions—whether that means requesting agency therapists, adjusting schedules, or even involving higher leadership if necessary. Proverbs 22:3 tells us, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself, but the simple pass on and suffer for it."* As a leader, you have a responsibility to advocate for safety and proper care, and doing so is not a lack of faith but wisdom in stewardship.
In the spiritual, we will stand with you in prayer for God’s divine intervention. Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, acknowledging that this promotion comes from Your hand. You have placed them in this role not to be crushed by the weight of it, but to be a light in a dark place, a leader who reflects Your wisdom, compassion, and strength. Lord, we ask for Your supernatural provision in this staffing crisis. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and nothing is too difficult for You. Open doors that no man can shut—bring in the right therapists, whether through agencies, temporary assignments, or even stirring the hearts of believers in the community to step in and help. Let no patient suffer due to lack of care, and let no incident occur that would bring harm or liability. We bind the spirit of confusion and mismanagement in the name of Jesus and declare that Your order and peace will prevail in this workplace.
Father, we also ask that You strengthen our brother/sister in this season. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Remind them that their worth is not tied to their performance but to their identity in You. Give them wisdom beyond their years, favor with their supervisors, and the courage to speak up when necessary. Let them lead with integrity, grace, and boldness, knowing that You are their ultimate authority.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and overwhelm that has tried to take root. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Let them walk in that truth, resting in the knowledge that You are working all things together for good, even in this chaotic season.
Finally, Lord, we pray for the patients under their care. Heal their bodies, comfort their hearts, and let them experience Your love through the hands of these therapists. May this situation ultimately bring glory to Your name, as others see Your faithfulness and provision.
We declare these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Provider, our Peace, and our Strength. Amen.
We also encourage you to set boundaries to protect your own well-being. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and burnout will only hinder your ability to lead effectively. Carve out time for rest, prayer, and fellowship with other believers who can speak life into you. Surround yourself with wise counsel—perhaps even a mentor in your field who can offer practical advice. And remember, this season will not last forever. God is refining you through it, preparing you for even greater things.
Stand firm, knowing that the battle belongs to the Lord. He has not abandoned you, and He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Keep trusting, keep praying, and keep moving forward in faith. We are standing with you in this!
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
