Prayer for Caregivers

Whether it is for aging parents, or for loved ones who are sick or have special

needs, we want to lift up the needs of those who spend much of their time caring

for the needs of others.

Father,

You are the God who sees, the God of all comfort, the God who heals, the God

who provides. Today we lift up all who are caring for others. I pray that they may

know you see their hidden acts of service, and you accept those acts as worship

unto you--even if they do not receive thanks from those they serve.

I pray that these caregivers would hear your call to cast their cares on you, to come

under your yoke, to find rest for their weary souls and bodies. I pray that you

would ease their anxiety, help them to sleep, and you would take care of their

bodies and minds, providing for their needs as they serve.

I pray that you would give caregivers perseverance and love for those whom they

serve. I pray you would heal broken relationships. I pray that you would give them

supernatural patience and wisdom to handle hard questions as they arise.

I pray that you would use this call to serve to transform their souls, making them

more like you. Remind them that you are near them. Please provide community to

also come around them.

We long for the day when illness, aging, and death are no more, but until that time

comes, please give us ever increasing hope, faith, and joy in you. We choose to

trust you in the things we do not understand, and we thank you for the privilege of

being invited to serve just as you serve. Amen.
