EMT's Prayer-- GOD ... Grant me the ability to give emergency care. With skillful hands, knowledgeable mind, and tender loving care. Help me deal with everything, when lives are on the line. To see the worst, administer aid, and ease a worried mind. So help me as I go today, accept what fate may be. Touch these hands, use this mind, help this E.M.T. Amen
