My mother had a mild stroke a few months ago. I am now her full time caretaker. Please pray for her health and healing and for me, as I am under a lot of stress. I am new to the forum. I thank you for your prayers.

God Bless All :gopray2:
 
Prayer to St. Andrew Avellino

O St. Andrew, we ask your intercession upon lightacandle’s mother .Please pray that her speech and movements recover quickly. And may she receive the best medical care possible. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

A Caregiver’s Prayer
Code: 
    Heavenly Father, help me better understand
    and believe I can do what you ask me to do.

    Forgive me for the times, even now,
    when I question your judgment.

    As I go about the many daily tasks of caregiving,
    give me energy.

    As I watch my loved one oh-so-slowly walk
    across the room, give me strength.

    As I answer his/her repeated question
    just one more time, give me patience.

    As I look for solutions to whatever
    is the most recent concern, give me wisdom.

    As I reminisce with him/her about the
    “good old days,” give me a moment of laughter.

    As I get to know my loved one in a new way,
    seeing both his/her strength and frailty, give me joy.

    As I sit beside my loved one’s bed waiting
    for his/her pain medication to take effect,
    give me comfort.

    Lighten my burden, answer my prayer,
    and give me the strength to do what
    so often seems impossible.

    Give me a quiet place to rest when I need it
    and a quieting of my anxieties when I’m there.

    Change my attitude from a tired,
    frustrated and angry caregiver
    to the loving and compassionate
    one I want to be.

    Remain my constant companion as I face
    the challenges of caregiving
    and when my job is through
    and it’s time for me to let go,
    help me remember
    he/she is leaving my loving arms
    to enter your eternal embrace. Amen.

Prayer of a Caregiver

God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
When you called me to care for my mother I never dreamed it would be this difficult. Please open my eyes to opportunities that surround me to stimulate and interact with her throughout the day. Help me to see that spending time with my mother is a privilege and a blessing, and not a burden.

God of Love,
Your Holy Word tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Help me to step out in obedience and follow those instructions. Change my heart, O God, and give me compassion to love others even when they are difficult to love and not able to respond or reciprocate.

Giver of Abundant Life,
Thank you for the precious gift of laughter! Please lift the burdens I feel today and let me lift the spirits of those for whom I care. I thank you and praise you, Father, for the unique gifts you have blessed me with and those you have yet to reveal. Continue to use me boldly for your honor and glory. In Christ’s Name, I pray.
Amen.

I add my prayers for your mother,

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and
the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us,
that IN THE DIFFICULT moments in life,
we may not despair, nor be despondent,
but with great confidence,
SUBMIT to your holy will,
which is LOVE and mercy itself!
 
Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 
I am definitely praying for God’s healing touch over your mother. I pray that God Blesses her with great health and safety. I also pray that God Blesses you with perseverance, patience, and strength.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace, The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and
Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
Pray for us Sinners, now and at the our of death. Amen

Keep your head up, Believe Miracles do happen, God Bless you!🙂
 
I am overwhelmed by your prayers for my mother and for your kind encouragement. My mother and I are pretty much alone as we have a small family who aren’t churchgoers and don’t come around much. I have to reach out for help in prayer. You will never know how much I appreciate your prayers and encouragement. As a matter of fact, my mother seems much better today! We ‘felt’ the prayers. Thank you all so very much! God Bless all of you. And yes, I believe miracles do happen and I very much believe in the power of prayer.

Thank you!:signofcross:
