A Prayer to Entrust My Loved One to God
Loving someone who is sick often reveals how little control we truly have. This closing prayer asks for courage to care faithfully while entrusting outcomes we cannot guarantee to God.
Faithful God, I love this person deeply, and that love makes me want to control every outcome. Help me do what is mine to do: ask questions, seek good care, show up, listen, help, and pray. Then teach me to release what I cannot force. I entrust this person to You not because I understand what will happen, but because I know I cannot carry the future alone. Give me courage for what comes next and grace to remain loving, honest, and present through it all.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
