Many nurses today feel they are not seen or heard. They are experiencing growing distance in their relationships with others and in their relationship with God. Nurses across the United States are sharing the weariness felt physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Scripture encourages us to “not lose heart.” How do we begin to address the weariness we feel in this season of trauma, loss, and continuous change? How do we live our lives from a place of hope? Join the conversation as we address these needs as well as the hope found in relationship and the healing presence of God in the secret places of our own hearts.
