Love and Family Prayer of the Day

Spouse with Chronic Illness

Accept the state of your body today, this instant, and turn to God. If you wake feeling strong and vibrant, be that, and turn to God. If you wake in pain and fear, accept that, and turn to God. Gently let your spouse know that you cherish him/her for the goodness of his/her heart, but that you free him/her from having to assume your burden, because you have given this burden to God.

- Hugh and Gayle Prather
