🙏 Begin with prayer
Prayer is the first remedy, not the last resort. Whether you are facing this yourself, caring for someone who is, or simply reading to understand — here is a simple prayer you are welcome to make your own, in your name or in theirs:
Great Physician, You have said, fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I bring before You every child facing serious illness, trusting these old water therapies only as gentle comfort, never a substitute for the care they truly need. Strengthen and uphold worried parents and caregivers tonight, and let Your presence be near every frightened bedside. In Jesus' name, Amen.
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”— Isaiah 41:10
