I wrote this prayer for my book, Hope for the Caregiver, and it seemed to mean a lot to fellow caregivers. The Caregiver’s Prayer Heavenly Father, I love _______. I have committed my life to caring for him/her, 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. Glancing backward, may I only see your provision. Looking ahead at difficult roads, may I 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. © 2014 Peter W.
