We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and we are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. We have continued to lift you up before the Lord these past days and we have remembered the deep loneliness and isolation you shared as a caregiver, feeling trapped and overwhelmed caring for your mother who has autism and for your grandmother, feeling lonely every day, wanting to disappear and not knowing how to keep going, and crying out to God through dozens of journals while wondering where Jesus is and if God truly cares.
We want you to know that you have not been forgotten by us and you are not unseen by the Lord even when He feels distant. We pray you will sense in a fresh way that He is near to you. His Word reminds us that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted as in Psalm 34:18, that we can cast all our cares on Him because He cares for us as in 1 Peter 5:7, and that He invites all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest as in Matthew 11:28.
If your request has been answered, if the Lord has brought you some relief, companionship, practical help in your home, respite from caregiving, or a renewed sense of His presence and peace, please post a praise report and let us all know so we can rejoice with you.
If your request does not seem to have been answered, if you still feel lonely and isolated and trapped, still feel exhausted and ill, still struggle with caring for your family, and still carry thoughts of wanting to disappear or die and still wonder if God cares, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We want to keep standing in agreement with you and to keep bringing your needs before the Lord.
If you are feeling like you want to die, we encourage you to reach out right away to a trusted person near you, a pastor or counselor or someone safe, and let them know how you are feeling so you do not carry this burden alone.
May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray in Jesus Name that He will surround you with His love and presence, that He will provide help and support for you and your family, that He will lift the loneliness and isolation, that He will make His care for you known, and that He will give you strength for each day.
