Week 89: Marriages and a Special-Nees Child
Please pray this week for married couples with a
special-needs child. These couples are often strained by a lack of
physical and mental rest. Many times finances are stretched as couples seek to
finance services and therapies for their child. They can often face hurtful
acts of discrimination and exclusion.
These couples can also become
anxious and even depressed as they look into the future of their child who may
never reach a level of independent living, wondering who will provide for their
child’s care once they are unable to. Those couples whose first child is
a special-needs child may agonize over the decision to have other children.
Pray that God would grant these couples
- an extra measure of rest and strength
- great patience in the face of trying circumstances
- the resources they need to provide for their child
- oneness in their decision making
- peace that protects them from an unknown future
- ready support from the community of faith
