Prayer for a Friend

Will you guys/gals please pray for two women I know that are both caring for elderly parents? Diana is caring for her 94 year old father who is a cantankerous old dude who is mostly blind and deaf and can barely walk.

Sherry is caring for her 80 year old mother who is a dear, sweet woman but recently broke a leg and has various other medical issues including diabetes and some dementia.

These two women, Diana and Sherry, receive no help from ANYONE and they both struggle with health/pain issues of their own. Anyone who has had to be a caretaker knows how demanding and draining it can be, and how lonely.

Please lift them up in prayer. They are both faithful, loving women who know God and need his strength and encouragement to get them through.

Thank you so much!

yes. caretaking IS an extremely draining exercise despite all of its rewards. some days you just don't feel them. i will pray for both of them. thank you for sharing with us so that we may.

I have seen first hand how difficult this can be. I will pray for strength and for help for these women.

Thank you for sharing...

Asking for strength and patience and for those watching them to either pitch in and give them a break if they can or recruit some volunteers to give them some company.

Thank you Lord.
