Broken Spirit

[Linda McCray]

I have been taking care of my elderly mother for several years and I don't know if I can do it any more. She dotes on my nephew and hands money to him, but resents even paying me for rent to stay here. She tells me all the time how much she hates me and wishes she had never raised me and my twin sister. We were borh premataure in 1946 and she reminds us what she went through. I am going to ask her to find another place to live. I don't know how I am going to make it financially, but I can't deal with the abuse any more. She is destroying me. I have had three heart attacks and can't do this much longer. Pray for me to have the strength to move her out and for finances to live on. I keep telling myself the Lord will provide. But, I have no one to turn to and can't work any more because of my health.

Jehovah Nissi, G-d Our Provider, I bring before your throne Linda who has faithfully cared for her mother these several years. She needs strength to carry on. Please increase her faith and let her turn to you many times a day for you are our answer to everything. Father, help her mother, whose actions hurt Linda, to have a kinder heart and heal her mind for she may not know fully what she is saying and doing. And Father, I ask for mercy and healing for Linda's heart because she needs to have good health in order to submit to your will and do the purpose for which you created her. Let her see clearly the purpose for which you have called her and the desire and faith to perform it. Give her the grace to look past her circumstances and to find peace and comfort in you. Bless her as she goes through her day. Put a song in her heart to bring her joy as she praises and worships you, prays, and studies your Word for therein lies the answer to her problems. I pray in Jesus's name.
