23 Bible Scriptures to Encourage Caregivers in Prayer

Greetings! I just wanted to take time today and encourage all the caregivers to talk to God today. He wants to hear from you. In fact, all throughout His Word, we are encouraged to take action in prayer. See, we have good Father and He wants us to have good things, we need only ask, with the right spirit and the right motives. He is daring us to taste and see just how good He is (Psalm 34:8). Here are some scriptures to affirm you in prayer.

1 “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
