New Devotional Encourages Caregivers to Find Hope and God’s Presence in the Midst of Mental Illness

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – Gilbert, AZ — September 23, 2026 — What if the hardest part of your story is where God meets you gently?

In her new thirty-one-day devotional, Our Hearts and Their Minds: 31 Devotions for Those Caring for Loved Ones with Mental Illness (Redemption Press, 2026), author Kim Cusimano offers caregivers a compassionate, faith-rooted resource for one of life’s most complex journeys. Written from over twenty years of caregiving experience, Cusimano speaks directly to those who feel overwhelmed, unseen, and emotionally stretched.

Blending poetic reflection, Scripture, guided prayer, and personal insight, this devotional creates space for readers to process their experiences honestly while reconnecting with God’s presence. Rather than offering quick solutions, it provides practical, spiritual encouragement and reminds caregivers that they are not alone.

Through each daily entry, readers will
• find comfort in God’s presence during difficult days,
• process complex emotions with honesty and faith,
• experience renewed strength for caregiving responsibilities,
• discover peace not dependent on changing circumstances, and
• be reminded their love is meaningful.

“Caring for someone with mental illness is not a journey meant to be walked alone,” says Cusimano.

Our Hearts & Their Minds is available through Redemption Press, Amazon, and major retailers.
