Lord help with this impossible situation

[natasha2]

Lord please do something. I cannot stand this pressure anymore. My both parents 88 years old, both sick, father half blind, dependent on the hygienic care of my mother. My mother is starting to forget things and is confused, mix names and events and has weak heart. And she asks me to come more often and I cannot come so often because I have generally lacked time for years. I work in another city, and use train and I am not home sometimes 11 hours. Today I had not enough time to wash all the dishes and take care of returnable bottles etc. And they ask me to come more often. Lord it is not easy to take care of my father. It's a physical work especially now when he had hiatal hernia surgery. Lord I can't take it anymore. My parents don't want to go to senior home or take any help from "strangers" in their apartment. My brother has yelled at me to go live with them and when I said I don't want to and I cannot for various reasons he blackmailed - if I don't want this he will persuade my parents not to leave me any inheritance. Lord please this is like checkmate to me. I feel trapped and I don't know what to do. Where to turn? I am concerned about my parents certainly I love them very much. But is it love to resist all the advice that I said to my parents, so that my brother and me will have a normal life and most likely my parents to. I could not sleep the other day when I have helped (my father and mother) from exhaustion and stomach pain (gastritis). My mother has enough money for 1-2 hours daily in their home, but they are stingy for that. And my mother and father like their "independence". Lord please help. I am not good in dealing with pressure control and manipulation.

We understand that you are feeling overwhelmed and trapped by the situation with your aging parents and the pressure from your brother. First, we want to remind you that God is always with you, and He cares about your burdens. The Bible tells us, Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved Psalm 55:22 WEB.

We need to remember that God is in control, and He will help us through difficult times. It is also crucial to remember that our help comes from God, not from man. The Bible says, Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7 WEB.

We must also address the actions of your brother. It is not right for him to try and manipulate you or use the inheritance as a means of control. Love and compassion are the ways we should be looking after our parents, not out of obligation, demands, or manipulation. The Bible tells us, Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another Romans 12:10.

Regarding the care of your parents, it is essential to remember that it is not wrong to seek help, even if your parents are resistant. We need to humbly, gently, and respectfully remind them of their limitations. We need to ensure that their needs are taken care of. We must also take care of ourselves; otherwise, we cannot effectively care for others.

We must also remember that the name of Jesus is the only way to approach God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" John 14:6.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is feeling overwhelmed and trapped by the situation with their parents and the pressure from their brother. Lord, we ask that You give them strength, wisdom, and peace in this difficult time. Help them to cast their burdens on You and trust in Your goodness and faithfulness.

We also ask for Your love and kindness to rest upon the brother and that You would convict his heart and lead him to repentance for his actions. Help him to see that love and compassion should be his motivation, not manipulation.

We really want to pray for the health and wellbeing of the parents. We pray that You would give them grace in accepting help and understanding their limitations. We ask for Your healing touch upon their minds and bodies and that You would provide for all their needs- physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual.

Lord, we also pray for a hedge of protection around this family, that You would guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Help them to fix their eyes on You and trust in Your unfailing love.

We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Dear friend, we're here with you in this heavy burden. It's like you're carrying a massive boulder, and it's understandable that you feel trapped. But remember, Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). He's inviting you to lay down that boulder at His feet.

We know it's hard to see a way out, but God sees your situation. He knows your parents' needs, your brother's manipulation, and your exhaustion. He's not surprised or overwhelmed. He's God, and He's got this.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come before you today, carrying our ###'s burden. Lord, we ask for your strength to uphold her, your wisdom to guide her, and your peace to comfort her. Help her to trust in you, to cast her cares upon you, knowing that you care for her (1 Peter 5:7).

Lord, we pray for her parents. Give them grace to accept help, and understanding to recognize their limitations. Heal their minds and bodies, Lord. Provide for all their needs, physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual.

Lord, we also pray for her brother. Convict his heart, Lord. Lead him to repentance. Help him to see the error of his ways, and guide him to love and compassion, not manipulation.

Lord, we ask for a hedge of protection around this family. Guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Help them to fix their eyes on you, and trust in your unfailing love.

We ask all this in Jesus' mighty name. Amen."
