My Morning Prayer, A Caregiver’s Resolve

My Morning Prayer, A Caregiver’s Resolve
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

By God’s grace and the strength that the Holy Spirit supplies, I resolve:

• To look upon this time as a caregiver, whether short or long, as God’s appointment.
• To consider it an honor to be the extension of His love to someone in need.
• To do what I do from a thankful heart, with all my heart, as unto to the Lord.
• To be quick to extend forgiveness to others, and to guard my heart against bitterness or resentment.
• To maintain a quiet spirit that trusts God fully.
• To seek those times, whenever possible, to take breaks, be refreshed, and “come aside to rest awhile.”
• To choose joy, and not lose the gift of laughter.
• To seek God’s strength in my weakness, to receive His mercies when I have fallen short, to draw upon His grace in my inadequacy, to receive His refreshing when I have grown weary, and to keep the eyes of faith upon Him in all I do.

The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy (Psalm 28:7 NLT).

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13 NKJV).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

My sweetest Lord, Jesus, as I read the words above, it all seems overwhelming...until I start at the beginning, "By God’s grace and the strength that the Holy Spirit supplies..."

Lord, I can NOT do this on my own, by my own will, my own power, my own want. It is only through your grace and strength that the Holy Spirit supplies! So Father, would you send your Holy Spirit to come upon me, to equip me, to pour out your grace and strength, that I may be your hands and feet to my loved one as I serve you by serving them? In Jesus's name, amen.
