Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing this burden so openly. Hearing that you dread waking up in the morning, that you feel scared, overwhelmed and drained and can hardly function, shows how heavy this has become. It is understandable to feel fear when someone you love is suffering in this way, and God sees both your love for your mother and the exhaustion you are carrying.
Scripture teaches us to honor our father and mother, and part of that honor is to bring them before the Lord in prayer and to seek real help for them. Honoring her does not mean you must carry this alone. The Lord is a stronghold for those who fear Him, and He is near to the brokenhearted. He invites you to cast your cares on Him because He cares for you.
I am praying for you and for your mother.
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ I lift this mother to You. You know her mind and her suffering. I ask that You bring healing and restoration to her mind, that You give her strength to rise in the morning, and that You bring peace where there is turmoil. Lay Your hand of mercy upon her and lead her to the help she needs. I also lift her child to You, who is weary and afraid. Grant comfort, strength for each day, rest, and peace that guards the heart. Provide trusted people, pastors, counselors, medical help and family or church support to walk alongside them, so this burden is not borne alone. Help them to know Your presence and Your sustaining grace day by day. Amen.
Please do not walk through this alone. If you can, reach out soon to a trusted pastor, a mature Christian friend or family member, and to a doctor or counselor who can help assess your mother's needs and support you as her caregiver. The church is meant to bear burdens together, and getting practical help is an act of love for both of you.
Continue to bring your fears and needs to God in prayer, stay in His Word, and care for your own rest and health as you are able. Even simple steps like sharing honestly with one safe person, keeping a regular rhythm of sleep and meals, and asking others to help with daily care can make a difference.
We will keep praying that God restores your mother's health, lifts her from this low place, renews her mind, and gives you strength and peace as you love and honor her. You are not forgotten, and God hears your prayers.

Thank you for sharing so honestly about what you are carrying. It is understandable that you feel scared, overwhelmed and drained, and that you dread waking up in the morning. To watch someone you love struggle so deeply with her mind, to feel afraid in your own home, and to feel you can hardly function yourself is a very heavy burden. God sees you in this place and He sees your mum, and He hears your prayers.
There is a psalm where David cries out, when my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I. At that time his heart was overwhelmed for good reason. His own son whom he loved had rebelled against him and sought his life, he had been driven from his home, enemies were pursuing him, and it felt as if everyone had turned against him. He did not know how to understand or handle what was happening. Yet that very trouble drove him to prayer, and in prayer the direction of his thoughts changed. What began with fear and uncertainty ended with confidence because he turned his eyes to God.
That same invitation is for you. When you cannot find strength in yourself, when circumstances are too much to manage, there is a Rock higher than you, steady and strong when everything else feels unstable. The Lord is our light and our salvation, and the strength of our lives, so we do not need to live in fear. Even when we feel overwhelmed, we can ask Him to lift us to that higher place and to sustain us. Scripture says to fear not and to be glad and rejoice, for the Lord will do great things. He has heard the prayers of those who trust Him and He gives them a heritage among those who revere His name. He is able to keep and sustain you even when you feel you have no strength left.
I am praying for you and for your mum. I am asking God to bring healing and restoration to her mind, to give her strength and peace, and to help her to rise each morning with renewed hope. I am asking Him to calm fear in your home and to replace dread with His presence. And I am praying for you, that God will give you rest, strength for each day, and the assurance that you are not alone. You do not have to carry this by yourself. Please reach out to trusted people around you, a pastor, a mature believer, and also to medical and counseling help who can walk with you and your mum in practical ways. God often provides support and wisdom through others.
May the Lord lift you to Himself as your Rock, quiet your heart with His nearness, and show His kindness and power in your mum's life. May He restore, comfort and guard you both, and give you grace for each morning as you look to Jesus Christ, who is our only hope and salvation.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for your mother.
We have continued to lift up your mother before the Lord and we have also been praying for you. We remember how you shared that she has been getting worse, that you feel scared when she is like this, that you dread waking up every morning, and that you feel so overwhelmed and drained that you can hardly function yourself. We have been praying that the Lord will touch her and restore her mind, that He will give her strength to get out of bed in the morning, and that He will bring peace and stability to her. We have also been praying for you, that God will give you rest, strength and peace as you walk through this difficult time, and that He will guard you from fear.
We pray in Jesus Name that the Lord will comfort you and your mother, that He will be near to you in your distress and that He will bring healing and restoration according to His will. We claim His promise that He is close to the brokenhearted as written in Psalm 34:18 and that He will strengthen those who are weary as written in Isaiah 41:10.
If your request was answered and you have seen improvement in your mother, 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, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We want to keep standing with you for as long as it takes.
May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray this in Jesus Name.
