To Care for Caregivers

Caring Father,
Look with favor on those who serve as caregivers. Whether it’s adult children caring for their elderly parents, dedicated parents caring for children with physical limitations and/or special needs, or somewhere in between, their work is arduous. Be the source of their strength. While they focus on providing care for others, it can be easy for them to neglect their self-care. Give them ample time to allot to their own care, and surround them with a support system of others who recognize when they are running on empty and offer to step in and help. Make the service that caregivers provide not only a blessing to those they care for, but also to them, so that they are able to see and enjoy the fruit of their labor.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Those Providing Care for Others

Dear God,
Those who are committed to caring for others provide a tremendous service to society. There are so many in need of care of all kinds – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Physical therapists, counselors, and pastors go to significant lengths to receive adequate training for these roles, but family members and friends often fill them in various ways, too. Thank you for the sacrifices they are willing to make to provide this valuable care to others. Give them perseverance and strength for their responsibilities when they are tired and worn out. Uplift them with words of encouragement and appreciation when they are emotionally drained. Above all, refresh them with the spiritual rest you freely offer, forgiving their sins and securing their salvation by your loving sacrifice for them and for all people.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
