UCB WORD FOR TODAY 27 JUNE 2025 – (FRIDAY DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE)
Read UCB Word For Today 27 June 2025 Daily Devotional by United Christian Broadcasters
TOPIC: Help for caregivers
Psalm 142:3 CEV
So, if you’re a caregiver, follow this:
1) Set boundaries. Learn to say no where you routinely say yes. There is nothing selfish about taking care of yourself so you can give the best possible care to someone else.
2) Beware of harmful coping patterns. Misusing medication, overeating, drinking ‘to take the edge off’. You’re human, and it can happen!
3) Don’t isolate. Invite some friends over who have volunteered to help. One can cook and care for your loved one while you and another friend take a walk.
4) Ask for help. If family members aren’t pulling their weight, call a meeting and delegate responsibility. Don’t deny others the blessing that comes from ‘encouraging the fainthearted and helping the weak’ (see 1 Thessalonians 5:14 NASB).
5) Protect your time. It’s easy to schedule every minute with nothing left over for yourself. Don’t do it. Find something that feeds you: read, pray, exercise, enjoy some solitude. And what’s more, schedule it, or it won’t happen!
