Patient God
who never gives up on us
we know,
you know,
how challenging self-care can be at times.
We know,
you know,
how crucial self-care is.
When those we love
and we ourselves
stand in need of self-care,
inspire us
to listen to,
to heed,
and to practice
the guidance we receive
from those who provide
our medical care.
When we are in need,
and we follow the guidance
we receive,
may we join you
and those who care for us.
in the healing process.
When a loved one is in need,
grant us
the grace and patience,
the strength and wisdom,
to continue in
supporting and challenging the one we love
and in that way,
join you and their care team
in the healing process.
This we pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

A prayer for planting trees
Grant us wisdom, God,
grant us vision.
Grant us courage, God,
grant us faith.
Grant us hope, God,
grant us love.
Grant us persistence,
grant us grace.
Grant us all these things
that we may plant shade trees
knowing we will never sit under them ourselves
but that they will provide care to future generations.
We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
