A Prayer for Caregivers by the Rev Jean Parker Vail
O “God unseen yet ever near,” help us to make evident your nearness to those with whom we minister. Empower us to make our caring for others a true reflection of our love for you. When we reach forth our hands to touch, let our fingers transmit your gentleness and healing love. When we part our lips to speak, let our words convey the constancy of your knowing. When we open our hearts to embrace, may the arms of your love reach through us to cradle the helpless, to strengthen the feeble, to caress the hurting, to celebrate all life as beginning and ending in you. Amen.
