PRAY TO  YOUR CAREGIVER DAILY 

Caregivers, don’t ever hesitate to give your cares to the LORD.

Caring for others can be very tough, but you were never called to carry the burden alone. The LORD commands us to cast our cares on the LORD because he cares for us ( 1 Peter 5:7). 

Even when the pressures of life knock on your door, praying to God the Father—The Ultimate Caregiver—daily, is absolutely essential. God is the Divine caregiver to every caregiver, and he is knowingly aware of every aspect of life a caregiver journeys through. 

Although people might offer great intentions on helping you as you care for others, remember to always seek God in prayer for direction, assistance, and wisdom. When challenges arise and you want the responsibility to be shared or passed from you solely administering God-honoring care and sacrifice to others, remember God is the one who will strengthen you as you pray to him regarding the situation.  

Conversing with the Divine Caregiver as you administer care is vital, because God is the only one who can answer your questions, concerns, and complaints. Additionally, God is the only one who can perfectly guide and strengthen you through your trials and uncertainties. 

In scripture we read about the example of Jesus—the Supreme Caregiver—going to the Caregiver, God the Father, in prayer when the pressures of life caring for others caused intense grief and distress. Jesus took the time to purposefully talk to God in prayer regarding his call to care for those the Father entrusted unto him to care for. Jesus prayed and talked to God, regularly.  

No matter what is going on around you, caregivers, it is important to seek God in prayer, even in the pressure-filled moments of life. 

The task of being a caregiver is not easy, but although the pressure of caring for a life is heavy, and those around might not give the same effort and fall asleep on the job, God is able to empower you to be all he’s called and created you to be. 

Never lose sight of the prize that God is your ultimate caregiver. Remember, as you care for others, God is caring for you.  Conversing with the Divine Caregiver will set the caregiver up to receive the best care to bless and administer to others.
