A Prayer for Dealing with Difficult Parents

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. – James 1:5 NLT

Lord, I ask today for wisdom for every child dealing with difficult elderly parents. Give them wisdom to navigate their relationship with their parents. Give them a discerning heart, grace to persevere and strength to do your will concerning their aging parents.

I ask that you help them release all bitterness and anger that they may surrender to your way of loving others. Help them to forgive and give them strength to do what is right even when it is difficult.

I pray that you fill their hearts with unconditional love for their parents and also open the hearts of their parents to receive this love without judgement and criticism. Heal all that is broken in these families and restore the lost years as you help each one of them relinquish control and yield to the work of the holy Spirit in their lives. I pray for all of these in Jesus name. Amen!

為失智症患者及照護者的禱告

親愛的阿爸父

願祢憐憫失智症患者內心的痛苦

他們人生突然面臨驟變,

難以適應生活上無法自理、

記憶力逐漸的消退,

像是要進入一個未知的深淵黑洞,

他們驚惶害怕,

甚至認為自己即將失去價值,

父啊,求祢憐憫他們心中的恐懼,

願他們在病發初期,勇敢配合接受治療

也願父神保守照護者們,

他們忠心看護、能有憐憫的愛心和耐心

他們常面對患者因失憶的反覆要求

或是無端像孩子般,任意引發情緒, 

父啊,祢知道他們精神上也是需要扶持

求父神賜給患者或照護者都有暖心的安慰,

越倚靠祢,內心就越能剛強得著釋放。

謝謝主   

禱告是奉我主耶穌基督憐憫的名祈求,阿們。

我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷,也不怕遭害,因為你與我同在;你的杖,你的竿,都安慰我。詩篇 23:4
