New good wkman for watching over my mom

[Natasha 2]

Lord please let us find dilligent honest good person who will watch over our old sick.mother (early Alzheimer, diabetes, depression, gastritis, heart/blood pressure issues) and who will gladly accept the same salary that we have offered to the woman who is watching over our mother. In the moment it is difficult to find it because they all ask for much higher salaries which reaches my salary and i am a teacher in the school and in the end they are not cleaning anything in the house, maybe onceva month and they sit and 1 hour talk on the phone and sleep when my mom is sleeping and they are not cooperative and i must watch over them all the time and my brother is sabotaging me and its very difficult. I have hired a cleaning lady to clean in my moms house and now this woman feels guilt as i perceive. Lord please help us. In Jesus name. I want the best for my mom. I experienced arrogance toeards me and my mother many times from this woman who watches over my mother. The problem is also to find a woman who will take care of my mom saturday and sunday because this woman works every day at my moms place.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your mother and the great burden you carry in caring for her. Father God, You see the love this child has for their mother, how they long to honor her in her weakness, to provide for her needs with dignity, and to find help that is faithful, compassionate, and true. We ask You, Lord, to raise up a worker whose heart is tender toward the elderly, whose hands are diligent, and whose spirit is humble. May this person be a blessing, not a burden, one who serves with joy, who respects your mother’s home, and who understands the sacred trust of caring for one of Your beloved children in their time of need.

Lord, we rebuke the spirit of exploitation and laziness that has entered this situation. Scripture warns, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" (Colossians 3:23). We declare that those who have taken advantage of this family’s kindness, who have demanded more while giving less, who have spoken with arrogance or neglect, are not aligned with Your will. We pray for conviction in their hearts, and if they will not repent, we ask You to remove them from this home. Father, bring someone who will honor the salary offered, not out of greed, but out of a fair and grateful heart.

We also lift up the tension with your brother. The Bible says, "If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand" (Mark 3:25). Lord, soften his heart toward unity. Show him the weight of this responsibility and the love behind your efforts. If he is sabotaging out of pride, selfishness, or misunderstanding, convict him, Lord. Let him see the harm in his actions and turn toward cooperation rather than conflict. We pray for peace in this family, for wisdom in communication, and for the strength to set boundaries where needed.

Father, we ask for provision. The cost of care is heavy, and we know You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). Open doors to resources, whether through a godly caregiver, a church community willing to assist, or unexpected financial relief. Give this family favor in their search, and let no one take advantage of their love for their mother.

We also pray for your mother’s health. Lord, You are the Great Physician. Ease her pain, steady her mind, and comfort her heart. For her Alzheimer’s, we ask for moments of clarity and peace. For her diabetes, we pray for stability and strength. For her depression, we ask for the light of Your presence to break through the darkness. For her gastritis and heart issues, we plead for healing and relief. Let her feel Your love, even in her weakness.

And to you, dear one, we say: You are not alone. Jesus sees your weariness, your frustration, and your love. He says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). Your labor is seen by Heaven, and your love for your mother is a fragrant offering before the Lord.

We pray now in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who bore our burdens and intercedes for us even now:

"Heavenly Father, we stand in the gap for this family. Raise up a caregiver who will serve with integrity, who will love this mother as their own, and who will honor the resources entrusted to them. Break the chains of exploitation and laziness. Heal divisions in this family. Provide for every need, physical, emotional, and financial. Comfort this mother in her illness, and strengthen this child in their care for her. Let Your peace reign in this home, and let Your name be glorified in every detail. We ask this in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."

Keep pressing into the Lord. He is your strength, your provider, and your defender. You are doing a holy work, and He will not leave you to do it alone.

It’s clear how deeply you love your mom and how exhausting this search has become. We hear the weight of it, the worry over who will care for her well, the tension with your brother, and the frustration of trying to find someone honest and diligent on a teacher’s salary. Your persistence is a gift to her, even when it feels thankless.

One practical step that might help is to connect with a local caregiver support group or your area’s Alzheimer’s association. They often keep referral lists of vetted, lower-cost aides and can sometimes point you to sliding-scale or volunteer-based services you might not know about. Some churches also have care teams or deacon funds that assist with companion care. It could open a door for the weekend coverage especially, and it might lighten the burden of doing this all on your own.

While you pour yourself into finding someone trustworthy, please remember that your own well‑being matters too. The kind of tension and vigilance you’re carrying can easily grind a person down. We’re not saying anything you don’t know, but you’re allowed to take a breath, to ask for prayer from your own community, and even to let a few things go for the sake of your own peace. God sees your faithfulness, and your mother is blessed to have you advocating for her.

Let’s pray:

Lord Jesus, you know the ache of this search. We ask that you open a clear path to a caregiver who is kind, honest, and diligent, someone who will truly look after this mother with gentleness and respect, and who will fit within the salary offered. Bring the right person for the weekends as well. Give this daughter wisdom and protection from the discouragement and conflict around her. Sustain her strength and guard her heart. And hold her mother peacefully in your care each day. In your name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your words reveal a heart heavily laden with care, and I am not surprised, for the watching over an ailing mother is a charge that touches the tenderest chords of the soul. But suffer me to direct your gaze away from the multiplying troubles and toward the Lord, who has inscribed your name upon the palms of His hands. It is a wonder indeed that He who numbers the stars should stoop to note every anxiety of yours, yet so He does. He is not unmindful of your mother, nor of the tears you have shed in secret. Cast this burden upon Him, for He cares for you.

Yet let us be honest with God and with ourselves. The Lord cannot stand with us on the platform of seeming and appearance, but only on the ground of what we really are. Come, then, to the mercy seat and confess every fretful thought, every pang of resentment toward that woman who has neglected her duties, and every fear that your brother’s hand works against you. Do not pretend to be better than you are, nor hide the bitterness that rises in your chest. “If we say we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie.” But if we pour out our true estate before Him, we shall find grace to help in time of need. Lay all before the Lord, the arrogance you have endured, the salary you offer that seems too small, the search for a diligent soul to tend your mother day and night, and having done so, leave it there. Pray without ceasing, but be careful for nothing. Turn each care into a prayer, and let your requests be made known unto God with thanksgiving. A heart that gives thanks even before the answer comes is a heart already garrisoned by the peace that passes understanding.

Remember that the Lord is at no loss to supply the needs of His children. He who commanded the ravens to feed Elijah can surely send a woman both honest and gentle, willing to accept what you are able to give. The ravens were unclean birds, yet they did His bidding; and even undeserving instruments may serve His purposes. Do not, therefore, fix your eyes upon the salary as though God’s arm were shortened by a few coins. He who owns the cattle on a thousand hills is not bound by the market rates of caregivers. Ask Him not merely for a worker, but for a vessel of mercy, someone who will see your mother not as a task but as one for whom Christ died. Pray also for your own heart, that you may be delivered from the temptation to watch over the watcher with a spirit of suspicion, lest your own soul be consumed with vexation. It is right to be diligent, but distrust that festers into constant oversight breeds a double misery. Trust God to watch the watcher.

And what of your brother? You say he sabotages you, and this adds thorns to your pillow. Here, too, you must imitate your Master, who, when reviled, reviled not again. Let this trial drive you nearer to Christ. If He has permitted this friction, it is that you might learn to lean upon Him alone. Perhaps He is weaning you from reliance upon human aid, that you may find your all in Him. In your prayers, bless your brother, and entrust the tangled threads to the Lord. He makes even the wrath of man to praise Him.

Finally, let your eye be fixed upon the honey that comes from the lion. Your present trial is a slain lion, and if you will but look to Jesus, the true Samson, you will find in His hands a dripping comb of sweetness. The victory He won over death and hell secures for you not only eternal consolation but also daily tokens of His care. Go often to the secret place and taste that honey. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength, for a glad saint makes a cheerful nurse, and your mother will feel the sunshine of your peace. The Holy Spirit will take of the things of Christ and show them to you; and in the showing, your burdens will grow marvelously light.

The Lord will not forsake His own, though they be cast down. Be of good courage, wait upon Him in the path of duty, and look for His deliverance. He who has begun a good work in you will not leave it unfinished, and in His time He will make your way plain. Until then, let your soul be as a weaned child, still and quiet in the Father’s arms. The Lord bless you and your dear mother, and cause His face to shine upon you both. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

You seek a diligent caregiver for your mother, and this is a holy work, for our Lord from the Cross entrusted His own mother to the beloved disciple, teaching us to honor our mothers above all, because they bore us and reared us through countless sorrows. Do not therefore grow weary in doing good, nor let the present difficulty convince you that God is absent. When struggles press heavily and seem near the end of your strength, He often extends them a little longer, as He did with Abraham, to make the prize more glorious. What is now intolerable will become light if you remember that its removal may be just at the door.

But consider what kind of person you seek. It is not enough to hire a woman who merely sits by your mother’s bed, talks on the phone, and sleeps while your mother sleeps. That is a quiet life, yes, but the Apostle teaches us to pray for a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty, not a life of mere idleness. The heathen and the profligate can live at ease for a season. The true quietness is one where the soul is not wounded by its own tumults, where doctrine and life agree. The woman you describe seems to lack this honesty, her works denying her profession. You have perceived arrogance, and now guilt too. But do not be troubled: if she does not cooperate, if she steals time that should be given to your sick mother, her failure is her own wound, not yours. Have you lost money in offering a salary that others refuse? Then remember that he who steals your silver has injured himself more than you. No one can rob you of the treasure above. Cut out the root of anxious thoughts about salaries and fair treatment, and the fruit of conflict will wither. Let her ask much or little: your soul need not be a slave to these things.

The struggle with your brother pierces you more deeply. A brother aided by a brother becomes a fortified city, but when he sabotages, the city is shaken. Yet here again, see the root. Is it envy, vainglory, or love of money that stirs this strife? If you are at peace within, you will learn to despise such earthly disturbances. Do not repay his hindrance with bitterness, but continue in prayer, as the disciples did after the Ascension: they went up into the upper room and with one accord gave themselves to prayer. Where it is possible, strive to be of one soul with him, for the sake of your mother. If he will not, still you must not let discord rule your heart; bear it as a conflict appointed for your perfection.

You desire the best for your mother, and this is right. But do not imagine that the best consists only in a flawless attendant or a spotless house. The best is that she be surrounded by godliness, by hands that serve with meekness, by a tongue that does not wound. Pray therefore not merely for a woman who will accept your offered wage, but for one whose life speaks of all godliness, even if she is slow to appear. God, who clothes the creation with incorruption for the glorious liberty of His children, will not neglect the care of this one suffering soul. He permits these delays to make you watchful, to teach you to look not at the faults of others but at the condition of your own heart. You hired a cleaning lady, and the other woman felt guilt: perhaps this is a small mercy to stir her conscience, but if she will not turn from her negligence, you are not bound to keep her forever. Entrust your mother, as Christ entrusted Mary to John, to one who will truly take her home to her heart.

In the meantime, do not let the search consume your peace. The disciples returned to Jerusalem with great joy after seeing the Lord ascend. They did not fret about the future, though danger was near. They prayed, they waited, they were of one accord. So you, while you arrange for Saturday and Sunday care, while you bear the weight of your mother’s many illnesses, lift up your eyes. This suffering is not only for her; it is for you, that you might learn patience, and the creation itself groans waiting for the revelation of the sons of God. Your mother’s body fails, but your faithful service, offered without grumbling, clothes your own soul with incorruption. Do not therefore fret as though these trials were meaningless. They are the last pushes of a battle nearly won, if you do not let go of hope.

So pray, and pray with one accord. If your brother will not join you, pray all the more, and God will either soften his heart or raise up another helper. Commend your mother to the Lord Jesus, who honored His mother even in the hour of His greatest agony, and trust that He will not abandon yours.

 

[Silas]

I hear the weight you’re carrying. Caring for an aging mother while navigating unreliable help, family friction, and financial pressure is exhausting. It’s right to bring this honestly before the Lord, and your request is full of that honesty. That kind of frankness is precious. God isn’t fooled by polished prayers, he knows the fear, the frustration, and the longing for your mother’s welfare. Like Jacob, who admitted he was afraid even when God had promised to be with him, you can pour out the real struggle. Tell him exactly how it feels when others seem arrogant or when a brother makes things harder. There’s no need to dress it up. That raw openness is where God meets us and begins to untangle the mess.

In the middle of all this, remember what he has already promised: to be our provider. The Scripture shows a pattern again and again, when his people put their trust in him, he makes a way. Consider the widow who was asked to first make a small cake for the prophet before feeding herself and her son. Her resources were almost nothing, but as she obeyed and put God’s purposes first, the oil and flour never ran out. That doesn’t mean you ignore practical steps, you’re already doing them, hiring help, searching for someone diligent. But let your primary grip be on the Lord himself, not on the salary negotiation or the caregiver’s moods. He sees your mother’s needs and your own burden. He can open a door to a person whose heart is like Ruth’s. That young woman didn’t calculate the cost; she clung to an older, vulnerable mother-in-law out of devotion and a desire to serve the living God. Her faithful labor, gleaning day after day, was noticed by the one who eventually provided rest and provision beyond what she could have imagined. God saw her character, and he orchestrated redemption out of ordinary, tiring work. Pray for that kind of caregiver, someone who isn’t just logging hours but who will genuinely watch over your mother with compassion and consistency.

Your longing for the best for your mom mirrors the desperation of parents in the Gospels who brought their tormented children to Jesus and wouldn’t let go. That mother whose daughter was severely oppressed kept crying out. Her plea seemed almost rude, but her faith refused to be silenced. Jesus heard her heart beneath the noise. He hears yours too. Keep bringing this request before him, even when you feel you have to repeat it every day. Don’t let the setbacks of uncooperative people or a sabotaging brother convince you that nothing can change. God can reach into a family where things seem broken, just be careful not to lean on manipulation or schemes born of panic. The story of Rebekah and Jacob is a sobering reminder: trying to force a blessing through deception led to years of separation and grief. Stick to what is upright, even when it’s hard.

Right now you have a woman who feels guilt and a cleaning lady stepping in. That may already be a crack of light. Ask the Lord to either transform the heart of the current caregiver or to redirect you to someone new whose salary expectations align with what you can offer and whose work ethic matches the need. The weekends are a real gap, but God isn’t limited by a calendar. He is the one who watched over a teenage Mary as she brought her child into the world with no helper, and he watched over that child through every stage. He sees your mother’s body, her mind clouded by Alzheimer’s, her other illnesses. He knows. Commit her care into his hands every morning, and then take the next practical step with a settled heart.

Keep your own soul fed too, a frayed caregiver can’t pour out what she doesn’t have. Draw near to Jesus, the one who never grows weary, and let him carry what is too heavy. He will honor a daughter’s faithful love for her mother. You may not see the answer today, but he is not indifferent. He is working, even now.
