We need to be actual people talking with actual patients.  If we focus too much on what we are saying, and not on what they are saying then we come off cold and robot-like. People like having a real person to talk to. Have real conversation.

Those who have no love for God will work constantly against the best interests of soul and body. But those who awake to the importance of living in obedience to God in this present evil world will be willing to separate from every wrong habit. Gratitude and love will fill their hearts. They know that Christ is their friend. In many cases the realization that they have such a friend means more to the suffering ones in their recovery from sickness than the best treatment that can be given. But both lines of ministry are essential. They are to go hand in hand.

I think it's easy for us to forget God's suffering when we focus on our own. I know I forget sometimes, but he can relate to our suffering because he, himself suffered!

He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone.”

"No one has suffered more than our Father in heaven. No one has paid more dearly for the allowance of sin into the world. No one has so continuously grieved over the pain of a race gone bad. No one has suffered like the One who paid for our sin in the crucified body of His own Son. No one has suffered more than the One who, when He stretched out His arms and died, showed us how much He loved us. It is this God who, in drawing us to Himself, asks us to trust Him when we are suffering and when our own loved ones cry out in our presence (1 Peter 2:21; 3:18; 4:1). "

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[b] have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified."

This is my favorite memory verse in the Bible because God promises that He will provide for those who believe. If we are faithful enough, and he will see us through in all His ways.

To afford the patient the most favorable conditions for recovery, the room he occupies should be large, light, and cheerful, with opportunity for thorough ventilation. The room in the house that best meets these requirements should be chosen as the sickroom. Many houses have no special provision for proper ventilation, and to secure it is difficult; but every possible effort should be made to arrange the sickroom so that a current of fresh air can pass through it night and day.

The sick need to have wise words spoken to them. Nurses should study the Bible daily, that they may be able to speak words that will enlighten and help the suffering.

"It is misdirected kindness, a false idea of courtesy, that leads to much visiting of the sick. Those who are very ill should not have visitors. The excitement connected with receiving callers wearies the patient at a time when he is in the greatest need of quiet, undisturbed rest."

I completely agree with this because one's surroundings can really affect how one is feeling. Additionally, trying to make the room seem as open and light as possible is ideal because when looking at seasonal depression, it often correlates to dreary days or feelings of claustrophobia.

Nurses should study the Bible daily, that they may be able to speak words that will enlighten and help the suffering. Angels of God are in the rooms where these suffering ones are being ministered to, and the atmosphere surrounding the soul of the one giving treatment should be pure and fragrant. Physicians and nurses are to cherish the principles of Christ. In their lives His virtues are to be seen. Then, by what they do and say, they will draw the sick to the Saviour.

Without pangs of conscience, the daily dissatisfaction of boredom, or the empty longing for significance, people who are made to find satisfaction in an eternal Father would settle for far less.
-God and Sufferring

Empty is the most harmful depression which is always ignored by people, however,  without feeling life is meaningful and fullness, one’s life will fall into confusion and hopeless.

Each time we discover God’s comfort in our own suffering, our capacity to help others is increased. This is what the apostle Paul had in mind when he wrote, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God”
(2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

"The impact of spiritual practices and discipline such as prayer are undeniable. Obviously issues of faith and beliefs and how to implement those, such as through prayer, is a topic wrong with passion."

Duties of Attendants

Nurses, and all who have to do with the sickroom, should be cheerful, calm, and self-possessed. All hurry, excitement, or confusion, should be avoided. Doors should be opened and shut with care, and the whole household be kept quiet. In cases of fever, special care is needed when the crisis comes and the fever is passing away. Then constant watching is often necessary. Ignorance, forgetfulness, and recklessness have caused the death of many who might have lived had they received proper care from judicious, thoughtful nurses.

"The apostle Paul pleaded with the Lord to take away an
unidentified source of suffering. But the Lord declined,
saying, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is
made perfect in weakness.” “Therefore,” said Paul, “most
gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of
Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in
infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in
distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am
strong“ (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). Paul learned that he would
rather be with Christ in suffering than without Christ in
good health and pleasant circumstances."

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose....
31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us,who can be against us?
Both of these verses are something that I have found comfort in numerous times. They could also be a source of comfort to a patient.
