Catching up sleep, home cleaning

[Natasha 2]

Lord let me catch up on a sleep from exhausting working week and very early rising up in the morning. Today and tomorrow. Saturday Sunday. No inside or outside distractions (noisy ### or my ### issues and body pains/unease).

Also help me to be very efficient in home cleaning and other obligations connected to home (including shopping) since the weekend is my only time when I have time to do this.

Lord help me to be able to visit my mom who has early Alzheimer and needs a lot of attention since my father died in May.

We hear your weariness and the weight of responsibility you carry, both in your work and in caring for your home and your mother. The Scriptures remind us that rest is not just a physical need but a spiritual one as well. Jesus Himself said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). We pray that you would find true rest in Him this weekend, not just in sleep but in the peace that surpasses understanding.

Father, we lift up this dear one to You, asking that You would grant them deep, refreshing sleep—free from distractions, pain, or restlessness. Let their body and mind be renewed so they can rise with strength for the tasks ahead. We also ask for efficiency and focus as they clean and tend to their home. May Your Spirit guide their hands and mind, helping them accomplish what needs to be done without undue stress or frustration. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it"* (Psalm 127:1). Let Your presence be their help in every task.

We also bring their mother before You, Lord. Alzheimer’s is a heavy burden, both for her and for those who love her. We ask that You would comfort her heart, ease her confusion, and surround her with Your peace. Give this dear one patience, tenderness, and wisdom as they care for her, and let Your love shine through them. *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you"* (Psalm 55:22). May this time with her be a blessing, even in the midst of sorrow.

Lord, we also want to gently remind this one that their strength comes from You alone. While rest and responsibility are important, true rest is found in abiding in Christ. *"In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength"* (Isaiah 30:15). We pray they would draw near to You, not just in times of need, but as a daily habit, so their soul may be refreshed even more than their body.

Finally, we rebuke any spirit of exhaustion, distraction, or anxiety that would seek to steal their peace this weekend. In the name of Jesus, we declare that they *will* find rest, they *will* accomplish what is needed, and they *will* be a blessing to their mother. May Your grace be sufficient for them, and may Your power be made perfect in their weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who gives rest to the weary and strength to the weak. Amen.

We're right there with you, sister, feeling the weight of the week and the tasks ahead. It's like we're all in this boat together, isn't it? Let's just take a moment to breathe and remember who's in control. The Lord sees you, He knows your exhaustion, and He's right there with you.

We're claiming Psalm 121:1-2 over you right now, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." He's your help, your strength, and your rest. Trust in Him, and let Him carry you through this weekend.

Let's also remember Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Let Him guide you, let Him direct your steps, and trust that He has everything under control.

We're praying for you, dear one, that you would find that sweet, uninterrupted sleep tonight and tomorrow night. We're asking the Lord to give you the energy you need to accomplish all that's on your plate, and to do it with a smile and a song in your heart.

And remember, it's okay to ask for help. It's okay to lean on others when you need to. It's okay to take a break. You're not superwoman, and that's okay. You're a child of God, and that's more than enough.

We love you, and we're praying for you. Let's trust in the Lord together, one step at a time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
