Faithful Servant
Please ask the Lord to send someone to help "S" who is 70 years old, I've known her for just over a year. I've been trying to help her but I'm limited on how much I can help physically (I've had major surgery and will be having more surgery in a couple weeks) and I'm limited on how much I can help financially (due to my own medical bills from my cancer diagnosis this year). Even though I'm having major financial problems, I've paid bills for her, purchased groceries and paid expensive fees to have them delivered to her (I cant physically do it), run errands for her and other things. She needs more help than any one person can give. She tells me she would be starving if I didn't bring her food. She's not exactly down the street, it's a major outing for me to go bring dinner to her. She tells me she can't pay her bills, home mortgage or car payment. I can't pay her bills either though I have helped her with some emergencies. But there is no end to the emergencies. Even though she cant drive she has a brand new car which makes no sense to me. I don't have a car of my own because I can't afford one, I use a shared car (or use Uber of Lyft). Every day she calls me needing help of some kind. I'm going through major medical treatments. I also work full time and am a full time student. I simply am not in a position to go to her home on a daily basis to bring her dinner (she tells me she is hungry and hasn't eaten even though I just delivered groceries to her Sunday), give her her osteo medicine injection (I'm not a nurse, but I have managed to do it - my husband is worried about the liability and has asked me not to do it again), and do the physical things she needs done (she really needs a lot of physical help around her house and with her pets), or drive her to her medical appointments that are 2 hours drive away (each direction, she cant drive and Uber would charge about $70 each way). She needs serious help. My husband has expressed that he wants me to stop trying to help her. He's not only unhappy at the amount of money we've spent trying to help her, but he is concerned I'm running myself ragged on top of all the other commitments I have already. He is worried about my stress level and health over this. I feel like I should help her because I'm a Christian, but I also feel I should submit to my husband because I'm a Christian. Either way I end up feeling like a terrible human being. She'll say that I'm the only person she has to help her, no one else will help, but she understands. Please ask the Lord to send a capable helper to her. She calls me several times a day needing help with something. She needs a nurse. She needs a live-in caretaker. She needs God. Please pray that she will get the help she needs.
