A prayer for you today…
A Prayer for the Parent/Caregiver Tired of Advocating
God, I am tired.
My muscles are tense.
My bones feel heavy.
Because I am soul-level worn down.
I made the phone calls.
I sent the emails.
I attended another meeting.
I scheduled another appointment.
I have advocated for what my child needs.
I have advocated for others to see my child beyond their needs—to see them for the whole of who they are.
It is good work. & it can be so heavy sometimes.
God, when I am tired of coordinating, tired of explaining, tired of advocating, remind me that I don't have to fight every battle right now.
Grant me Your peace.
Make Your presence known.
Assure me that I don't need to complete every task or have every solution right now.
Help me to breathe.
Help me to see Your beauty all around me, because it is still here.
May Your goodness linger in my heart until I am ready to move forward once more.
Amen
