A Moment with God for Caregivers - Becky Fish
THE WHISPER OF OMNIPOTENCE
Image3Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart... but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
—1 Kings 19:11b-13
Father, we long for a spectacular display of your power. We want to know that you are grappling with the things that threaten our loved ones and us. But although spectacular displays make us feel good for a while, they don't bring peace to our souls. What Elijah needed, what he sought, was a personal word from you. Not the wind, not the earthquake, not the fire, but the gentle whisper. Today, may we hear your whisper of omnipotence and find peace for our souls.
MOTIVATED BY LOVE
Image4We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
—1 Thessalonians 1:3
Lord, my caregiving in part grows out of my faith, my sense of how you have instructed us to care for our families. But on those tough days when my nose is being rubbed into the worst aspects of servanthood, may my labors also be prompted by love, and may the promise of what you are doing in my life through Christ's work on the cross motivate me to endure.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
Image5God said, Let there be light,
and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
—Genesis 1:3-4
Father, light was your chosen tool for fashioning the world. You did not destroy darkness, but gave us a way to understand it. You gave shape to what was formless and drew life out of empty shadow.
Our relationships with those we care for are like that original formless void. We are in a place where we cannot see clearly, and what we dimly perceive frightens us. May your power and presence illuminate us and our loved ones as we care for them. With the help of your creative presence, may we discover a new life and legacy of hope for those we love.
NIGHT TERRORS
Image6He will cover you with his feathers, / and under his wings you will find refuge.... / You will not fear the terror of night, / nor the arrow that flies by
