Dear God,

How do we will someone to live?  How do we stand by and watch them deprive themselves of nourishing food intended to feed body, mind, and spirit?

O Lord, sometimes you are our only solace!  Sometimes when we feel helpless to help someone else, we can only turn to you for guidance and aid.  In you we find comfort, love, and the ability to keep on keeping on.

In your word you told your people, "I will be with you always to the end of the age."  That one statement reminds us to lean on you for understanding, assistance, and hope.

Blessed Lord,
friend, teacher,
and comforter,
thank you
for blessing us
with compassionate care.
Thank you
for being
with our
loved ones
even if
they are unable
to notice.
Guide us
to you, Lord
every day.

Love, Andrea
