I am ###; lost my job and my mom in April of this year. My son is mentally handicapped. I am his sole caregiver. My brother became homeless and I took him in. He has health issues and is unable to work. I found out that my gallbladder is shrunk and full of stones. My doctor is sending me to a surgeon. I can’t leave my son to have surgery. They also want to do a colonoscopy. I have no income, my brother has no income. My son is getting disability. I worry about losing the home we live in. My son can’t afford to pay all the bills. I have signed up for disability. My brother is signing up this week. I have to take care of him also. My back and hip have severe arthritis in them. I had to get my doctor to put me on nerve pills. I need God to step in. Make sure I don’t lose the house and my disability goes through. Help my brother and son as well.
 
We come before the Father in heaven with heavy hearts, lifting you up in this time of overwhelming trial. The weight you carry is immense—caring for your mentally handicapped son, your ailing brother, and now facing your own serious health struggles while also grappling with financial ruin. Yet we know that our God is the God of miracles, the One who parts seas, multiplies loaves, and raises the dead. He sees your suffering, and He is not distant from your pain. The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 34:18**, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not forgotten, and He will sustain you.

Your faith in crying out for a miracle is a testament to your trust in Him, even in the darkest hour. But we must also remind you that while God can move mountains, He also calls us to surrender our burdens to Him completely. **1 Peter 5:7** tells us, *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* You have taken on so much—caring for your son, your brother, and now facing your own health crises—and it is clear you are at the end of your strength. Yet in your weakness, His strength is made perfect (**2 Corinthians 12:9**). We urge you to release the weight of control and trust that He will provide, even when the path seems impossible.

We must also address something critical: in your plea, you did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom all our prayers must be offered. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And **Acts 4:12** affirms, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now. Without Him, there is no access to the Father, no hope of eternal life, and no promise of His intervention. If you *have* trusted in Christ but simply omitted His name in your request, we encourage you to always approach the throne of grace boldly *in His name*, for it is the only name with power to save and deliver.

Now, let us pray together for you, your son, and your brother, trusting in the Lord’s sovereignty and mercy:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, lifting up this your child who is drowning in a sea of trials. Lord, You see the depth of their suffering—the loss of their mother, the loss of their job, the crushing responsibility of caring for a disabled son and a homeless brother, and now their own failing health. Father, we ask for Your supernatural intervention. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. We pray for healing over their gallbladder, their arthritis, their hips, and their back. Lord, if surgery is necessary, provide a way for it to happen without harm to their son. Give wisdom to the doctors and peace to their heart as they face these medical challenges.

Lord, You are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides. We ask You to open the floodgates of heaven and pour out Your provision. Do not let this home be lost. Let the disability claims be approved swiftly and without delay. Provide for every bill, every need, every meal. You own the cattle on a thousand hills (**Psalm 50:10**), and You will not abandon Your child.

Father, we pray for their son, that You would grant him peace, protection, and stability. Give this mother the strength, patience, and wisdom to care for him well. We pray for their brother, that You would restore his health and provide for his needs. Let him find hope and purpose in You, even in his weakness.

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear, anxiety, and despair that seeks to overwhelm this believer. **2 Timothy 1:7** reminds us that *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (**Philippians 4:7**). Let them feel Your presence in the darkest nights and Your joy in the morning.

Finally, Father, if this dear one has not yet surrendered their life to Jesus, we pray that You would draw them to Yourself today. Let them know that salvation, hope, and eternal life are found in no other name but Jesus Christ. May they place their trust in Him, repent of their sins, and walk in the freedom and victory He paid for on the cross.

We declare Your promises over this situation, Lord. We trust in Your timing, Your goodness, and Your power. Let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We also encourage you to seek out your local church body for support. The Bible tells us in **Galatians 6:2** to *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."* You were not meant to walk this path alone. If you are not already part of a Bible-believing church, we urge you to find one where you can receive prayer, practical help, and fellowship. Additionally, look into Christian ministries or charities in your area that assist with medical bills, housing, and disabilities. The body of Christ is called to be His hands and feet, and there are believers who will help carry this load with you.

Lastly, we leave you with this promise from **Matthew 11:28-30**: *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."* Jesus is calling you to lay every care at His feet. Trust Him, even when the storm rages. He will not fail you.
 
Oh dear friend, we're here with you, holding you up in prayer. We've been thinking about you and your family, and we wanted to reach out again. We know the weight you're carrying is immense, but we want you to know that you're not alone. We're right here with you, every step of the way.

First, we want to encourage you to keep trusting in the Lord. He sees you, He knows your pain, and He's right there with you. Remember, He's the God who parted the Red Sea, the God who multiplied the loaves and the fishes, the God who raised Jesus from the dead. He's more than capable of turning your situation around.

But we also want to remind you, as we've mentioned before, to cast all your cares on Him. He cares for you, deeply. He wants you to give Him all your worries, all your fears, all your burdens. He's got this, and He wants you to trust Him with it all.

Now, we know that you've been facing some serious health issues. We're praying for healing, for wisdom for your doctors, and for peace in your heart as you face these challenges. We're also praying for provision. We know you're worried about losing your home, about the bills, about your son and brother. We're asking God to provide, to open the floodgates of heaven and pour out His blessings on you.

We're also praying for your son. We're asking God to grant him peace, protection, and stability. We're praying for you too, that God would give you the strength, patience, and wisdom to care for him well. And we're praying for your brother, that God would restore his health and provide for his needs.

We want to encourage you to keep seeking God. Keep reading His word, keep praying, keep trusting. He's got a plan, and He's working it out. And remember, if you haven't already, surrender your life to Jesus. He's the only way to the Father, the only hope for eternal life, and the only one who can save and deliver.

We're praying all this in Jesus' name. Amen.
