    About this ebook

    What can we do for those we love who find themselves in the heavy position of caregiver? Even though there is a deep heart of love for those cared for, it still becomes a very wearing and challenging role. We can, and must, pray for them, and be there to offer our help and love, but this book is designed to point them to the only One who can truly meet their needs. Here they will find practical devotions about daily challenges and encouraging thoughts and Scriptures for this difficult period. God truly is the God of all comfort! (2 Cor. 1:3)

      DEDICATION

      This book is dedicated to my dear friend Mimi and to our special brother-in-law, Ed, and to all my persevering friends who are serving loved ones. They have been a testimony to God’s grace under the extreme pressure of long term caregiving. And it is dedicated to you, gentle reader, as you faithfully carry on. May God bless you all!

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      I am first of all grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ who has made me one of His own. I am thankful to my first Bible study leader who, though I had been a believer for many years, introduced me to the joy and power of the Scriptures. I have been blessed by the faithful prayer warriors who have covered the writing of these devotions, and by my precious sister, Suzanne, who proof read and edited.

      I am especially thankful for my husband, Joe, without whose support this book would have been impossible.

      HOPE IN ANGUISH

      2 Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am faint; O LORD, heal me, for my bones are in agony. 3 My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long? 4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. …6 I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. 7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow; … for the LORD has heard my weeping. 9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer. Ps 6:2-9

      I have a dear young friend who lost her father. She was devastated. While she was grieving she received many encouraging Scriptures from friends, and they were helpful. Then she candidly asked, Are there any verses that just express the pain and grief I am feeling? She wanted to see that
