A Caregivers Prayer

Personal note: I am a Christian, a firm believer that Jesus Christ was born, lived, died, was raised from the dead, and is alive today in order to bring people to a loving God.

However, I believe all communities need caregiver support, and these materials could be adapted to other faith groups.

I am open to speaking to any faith group (or groups not based on a faith.)
