God,
I bring before You the person on my heart.
Be near to them in discomfort, uncertainty, and fear.
Give their medical team wisdom and attentiveness.
Provide effective care, genuine relief, and people who will stay present.
Show me how to help in practical ways.
Hold both of us with compassion when answers are incomplete.
Guard me from offering easy explanations for their suffering.
Make me dependable in the ordinary acts that matter: listening, checking in, providing meals, transportation, company, and prayer.
Help me participate patiently in the healing available to me through wise care, supportive relationships, healthy choices, and honest prayer.
Keep me open to gradual progress rather than demanding an immediate answer.
Help me carry this prayer into the ordinary moments ahead.
When old reactions return, invite me to begin again without shame.
Keep shaping my attention, my choices, and the posture of my heart.
Amen.
