Tough Times Don’t Last—Anointed CNAs Do!
© Copyright by Bishop Darrell A. Boone, CEO
In the corridors of care, where pain whispers and purpose waits, there walks a chosen few—Certified Nursing Assistants who carry not just credentials, but a calling. They are not just trained—they are anointed. And while tough times may test them, they do not topple them. Because tough times don’t last—but anointed CNAs do.
These caregivers are more than hands—they are healers, hope-bringers, and heart-lifters. They rise before the sun, endure long shifts, and still find the strength to smile, soothe, and serve. Their work is not just clinical—it is covenantal. Every bed made, every tear wiped, every word whispered in compassion is a ministry in motion.
🔹 The Anointing in the Assignment
To be a CNA is to be called, not just hired. It is to walk into rooms where others see weakness and instead speak worth. It is to hold hands that tremble and remind them they are treasured. It is to stand in the gap between suffering and solace, and declare, “You are not alone.”
This anointing is not earned—it is entrusted. It flows from a heart that hears heaven and a spirit that refuses to quit. It is the oil of endurance, the fire of faith, and the salt of sacred service.
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood…” —1 Peter 2:9 CNAs are not just workers—they are worshippers in scrubs, royal in their resilience, priestly in their presence.
🔹 When the Times Get Tough…
Yes, the times are tough. Staffing shortages. Emotional exhaustion. Underappreciation. But the anointed CNA does not fold—they fight with faith. They lean on prayer, on purpose, and on the power of knowing that God sees what others overlook.
They are not defined by the difficulty—they are refined by it. And in every challenge, they find a chance to minister, magnify, and multiply mercy.
🔹 A Call to Crown the Caregivers
It’s time we stop treating CNAs as invisible and start crowning them as invaluable. Through initiatives like Heavenly Huddle™ and the Hearts and Hands Harmony Network, we are building a movement that affirms, equips, and elevates these frontline faith warriors.
We offer training that teaches technique—but also testimony. We provide certification—but also celebration. Because when CNAs are honored, healing happens.
So to every CNA reading this: You are anointed for this assignment. You are chosen for this challenge. You are graced for this grind.
And no matter how tough the times may be—you will last, because your strength is supernatural, your service is sacred, and your story is still being written.
