Prayer for Caregivers with Jess Ronne: How to Find Strength When You're Depleted

Feeling spiritually depleted from caregiving? You're not alone. In this powerful conversation, Rachel Wojo sits down with author and fellow caregiver Jess Ronne to discuss what no one tells you about prayer when you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on empty. Jess shares the breakthrough moment that changed everything: when the Holy Spirit whispered to her heart while she was changing her son's diaper for the thousandth time, "This is holy work." That revelation transformed her 19-year caregiving journey with her profoundly disabled son, Lucas—and it can transform yours too. In this episode, you'll learn: The honest prayer that sustained both Rachel and Jess through their darkest caregiving moments A simple 5-10 minute morning practice that invites God's presence into your overwhelming day How to reframe mundane tasks (diaper changes, endless laundry, medication schedules) as sacred acts Why "grit and grace" both matter—and when to lean into each one The truth every caregiver needs to hear: this season won't last forever This episode is for you if: You're caring for someone with special needs, chronic illness, dementia, or aging parents You feel guilty that you don't pray "enough" or "the right way" Your to-do list is so long that connecting with God feels impossible You wonder if anyone sees or values what you're doing Jess Ronne is the author of Caregiving with Grit and Grace: A Devotional and founder of The Lucas Project.
