Praying Through a Child's Illness

It's every parent's nightmare—their child is seriously ill, and there's little they can do about it—besides pray. Sensitive to the emotions of others, Bentley lays a carefully crafted foundation for reflection, prayer, and conversation for parents or caregivers as they care for a seriously ill child. Bentley writes from personal experience with his own son, who was born with heart problems. He often reminds readers that to be the best caregiver for their child, they must also care for themselves. Each of the 28 days of prayer includes a meditation accompanied by scripture verses, a prayer, and a suggestion for a daily activity, which ranges from remembering a verse as a mantra for the day to finding time for personal sabbath. 4 weeks • Includes Leader's Guide for small groups
