Grace in the Chair: 30 Devotions for the Dialysis Journey

By Nikki Messa

For everyone who has ever sat in the dialysis chair and wondered if God is still present - He is.

Grace in the Chair is a 30-day devotional written for dialysis patients, their families, and anyone walking the long road of chronic kidney disease. Drawing from the real-life story of the author's Aunt Laurie - who spent thirty years in the dialysis chair with remarkable faith and quiet joy - each entry speaks honestly to the moments most books never name.

The exhaustion of showing up for treatment again and again. The thirst, the restrictions, and the numbers on a scale. The anxiety before needles, and the hard days when everything goes wrong. The friendships that form quietly in treatment rooms, and the empty chairs left behind. The grief of a transplant that eventually fails, and the courage it takes to return.

Each of the 30 daily readings includes a Scripture passage, a devotional reflection grounded in real experience, a closing prayer, and two journaling prompts - making it ideal for personal reading, quiet time during treatment, or use in a dialysis support group.

Grace in the Chair does not minimize what you are walking through. It meets you in it - and reminds you that even in the hardest places, grace can still be found.

Also includes: a full tribute to Aunt Laurie, five weekly themes, a word for caregivers and family members, a Scripture index, and a prayer index organized by theme.
