In 124 Prayers for Caregivers, an author with a solid background in grief counseling offers an emphatic and encouraging presentation of prayerful responses to serving God in the role of caregiver. Each prayer session included prayers, brief quotations from the Bible or other sources, several lines of reflection, and a closing petition. The book is enhanced by five illustrations.
The prayers in Part 1, 'During Light Times in Caregiving,' are for the times when the caregiver feels privileged and blessed and needs direction, or becomes aware of the gifts and opportunities for growth that careegiving offers.
In Part II, 'During Dark Times in Caregiving', the prayers are for times when the caregiver feels exhausted, put upon, inadequate and self-pitying; when anger and guilt, sadness, depression, and even despair threaten to overwhelm.
Whether caring for a parent, a spouse, or a disabled child, caregivers needing a source of strength and consolation, those seeking growth in the experience of caregiving, caregivers in need of prayers that express their desire to 'give everything over to God' will find strength and consolation in this book.
