To have faith is to give hope. White (2011) “Hope replaces despair and joy with oppressive sadness” (p. 42). When you show the patient that you are providing the best care possible, you give them hope that whatever you do will work. They begin to believe in you and believe in their faith; sometimes even referring to you and an angel sent from heaven to help them through this terrible time they are going through. In many stories that speak of Christ's healing, reference is made to the fact that it is faith and belief that heals and not actual contact that creates the miracle. White (2011) “Wonderful will be the transformation wrought in him who, through faith, opens the door of the heart to knowledge” (p.51). You must always have a positive attitude. Having a positive attitude shows compassion, to show compassion you must be attentive and use your active listening skills to truly understand your patient's needs and empathize with what they are experiencing. When you show empathy, they can tell that you care about their well-being and that it goes beyond work and pay. Then, you have to go much further by constantly reassuring your patients and encouraging them to be strong even when they are weak. There is a lot about this process that you may not always understand, but we must always keep an open mind. Spiritual care
