Caretaker’s Prayer

Our Father (Guide, Provider, Protector)

Who art in Heaven (with ultimate perspective & foresight)

Hallowed be Thy Name (honored, set apart, well represented in me).

Thy kingdom come (make me a conduit of love, grace, peace…kingdom qualities)

Thy will be done (help me seek justice, love mercy, walk with You)

on Earth as it is in Heaven (anticipating a better environment, seeing beauty here & now).

Give us this day our daily meds (yup, meds, with necessary delivery strategies and a little help to overcome stubbornness & hesitancy)

and forgive us our deceits as we forgive those whose diseases pushed us to it (You know our motivations, help us remember their mind-altering illnesses).

Lead us not into frustration, but deliver us from conflict (with our charges, other caregivers, opinionated bystanders, medical staff)

for Thine is the kingdom (authority), the power (ability), and glory (credit) forever,

amen (please help!)
