The Caregiver’s Prayer

A caregivers prayer helps caregivers receive God’s help in looking after their own physical, emotional and spiritual needs so they can handle the demands of caring for a loved one.

Heavenly Father, I love _______.
I have committed my life to caring for ______.
Yet I know the task is greater than my abilities.

As I seek to help another,
I ask for strength to shoulder the burdens before me.
Yet I also ask for the wisdom to know what is mine to carry.
I ask for the courage to admit my failures and make amends.
I thank you for your grace and mercy,
and ask that you help me daily apply it to myself and extend it to others.

As I walk through this long valley of the shadow of death,
I ask for a deeper awareness of your presence to calm my fears.
As I glance backwards, may I only see your provision.
As I look forward, may my eyes see your guidance.
May I reflect you as I minister to this one whom I love.
I pray all this in the name of your son, Jesus Christ,
Who laid down his own life …for me.
