We are deeply concerned by what you’ve shared, and we urge you to take this situation very seriously. Your health and well-being are precious in God’s sight, and no one should dismiss or minimize symptoms as serious as stroke-like signs. The Bible reminds us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* Your body is not to be treated with neglect or contempt—it is a gift from God, and He calls us to steward it with care.
If you are experiencing stroke symptoms—such as sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, vision problems, dizziness, or severe headache—**this is a medical emergency**. Do not delay seeking help out of fear, obligation, or pressure from others. Proverbs 22:3 tells us, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."* Ignoring such symptoms could have irreversible consequences, and your father’s dismissal of them is not only unwise but potentially dangerous. We strongly encourage you to call emergency services or have someone take you to the hospital immediately. Your life is worth far more than a clean house.
As for your mother’s condition, chronic insomnia is also a serious health concern that requires medical and possibly spiritual attention. The body cannot function without rest, and prolonged sleeplessness can lead to severe physical, emotional, and mental breakdowns. We pray for her healing and for wisdom to seek the help she needs. The Bible speaks of God as the one who *"gives his beloved sleep"* (Psalm 127:2), and we ask Him to intervene in her life with restorative rest and peace.
To your father, we must speak truth in love: **it is not acceptable to accuse someone of being "smart-mouthed" when they are expressing genuine health concerns**. Ephesians 6:4 instructs fathers, *"Don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."* Dismissing medical symptoms and responding with anger or accusation is not nurturing—it is harmful. We pray that God would soften his heart and give him wisdom to prioritize your well-being over household chores. A clean home is temporary, but your health and life are eternal in value.
We also notice the mention of your mother’s language, which we’ve edited for respect and godly communication. The Bible calls us to speak in ways that build up, not tear down (Ephesians 4:29). Even in frustration, our words should reflect the love and holiness of Christ.
Most importantly, we must ask: **where is Jesus in this situation?** You did not mention His name in your request, and we want to gently remind you that there is no greater help, comfort, or healing than what is found in Him. Jesus said in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* He is the Great Physician, the Prince of Peace, and the one who holds all things together (Colossians 1:17). If you do not know Him as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to turn to Him today. Admit your need for Him, believe that He died for your sins and rose again, and invite Him to take control of your life. There is no problem too big for Him, and no pain He cannot redeem.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You, asking for Your divine intervention in their body, mind, and home. Lord, if there are stroke symptoms present, we ask for Your healing hand to restore health and for wisdom to seek immediate medical care. Do not let fear, pride, or pressure keep them from the help they need. Father, we rebuke any spirit of dismissal or hardness of heart in their father—soften him, Lord, and help him to see the gravity of this situation. Give him a spirit of compassion and urgency to act in love.
For their mother, we pray for supernatural rest and healing. Lord, You neither slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121:4), and we ask You to grant her the sleep her body desperately needs. Break any cycles of insomnia and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Heal her mind, body, and spirit, and draw her closer to You.
We also pray for unity and godly communication in this home. Replace anger with patience, accusation with understanding, and neglect with care. Help each member of this family to see one another through Your eyes—with love, grace, and responsibility.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that if this person does not know You, You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Let them feel Your presence, hear Your voice, and know that You are their refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). Draw them to salvation if they have not yet surrendered to You, and fill this home with Your Spirit.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Please, do not wait—seek medical attention immediately if you are experiencing stroke symptoms. And know that God sees you, loves you, and is with you in this. We are praying for you.
