Night Prayer for Caregivers
Caregiving is a holy calling, but it is also exhausting. Whether caring for a parent, a spouse, a child, or a friend, caregivers often pour themselves out day after day, giving time, energy, and love. I see this time and again as a minister and caregiving models Christ’s care so deeply.
By the end of the day, caregivers may feel weary, unseen, or overwhelmed. Night prayers offers rest in God’s presence and strength for tomorrow.
Prayer is where caregivers are reminded that they are not carrying the burden alone. God himself promises to sustain the weary and strengthen the fainthearted. In the quiet of night, he provides comfort, renewal, and peace.
Scripture for the Evening
“Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:30–31, NRSV
Reflection
Isaiah 40 assures us that God renews the weary. Caregivers often run on empty, giving more than they think they have to offer. But God promises new strength for those who wait on him. Night prayer for caregivers is an act of waiting—of pausing at the end of the day to rest in God’s care and receive his renewing Spirit.
Prayer does not erase the challenges of caregiving, but it reminds us that God is carrying us even as we carry others. His love equips us for the work of love.

A Prayer for Strength and Renewal
Lord, I am weary tonight. Caring for those I love has drained my energy, and yet I know you are my source of strength. Renew my body, calm my spirit, and give me rest. Remind me that I am not alone, for you are with me and you are carrying the ones I care for as well. Let your presence be my peace tonight. {pause}
A Prayer for Peace and Encouragement
God of compassion, when I feel unseen, remind me that you see me. When I feel empty, fill me with your Spirit. When I feel overwhelmed, remind me of your promises. Encourage my heart and help me to trust that the work I do matters. As I close this day, I lay down both my loved one and myself into your hands. {pause}
