For Those Caring for Others with Special Needs in Worship
Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. Sundays are also for everyone. Nevertheless, worship can be especially challenging for those responsible for caring for others with special needs. Give parents a special measure of patience and determination as they worship with their little ones who require extra attention. Help caregivers responsible for adults with special needs remain calm and composed in the face of any unpredictable outbursts or challenging behavior. Make fellow worshipers willing to step in and offer assistance in these situations in any way possible. Richly bless the faithful perseverance of dedicated believers who are committed to bringing these special saints to hear the voice of their Good Shepherd.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
