We have read your request and our hearts are broken with you over this pain, and we are lifting you and your loved one before the Lord together in Jesus name. To hear that someone so young and so dear to you has Alzheimer's has knocked your world off its foundation, and it is understandable that you feel deflated and that your safe space feels rocked. We want you to know you are not alone in this darkness and we are standing with you in prayer.

We hear how heavy your thoughts have become and how they go to such dark places over and over, and how you are fighting to be strong but are asking what is the point anymore. Please hear that your life has great value and purpose in the eyes of God, and that even when you cannot feel it, He is near. The Lord is close to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I Psalm 61:2. We rebuke the lie of the enemy that there is no point and that you will not survive this, and we speak the truth that God is your refuge and strength even now, and His grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9.

We also hear your deep love and your earnest prayers for healing, and your cry to be covered in the blood of Jesus. God hears every prayer you have prayed. He is not distant from your suffering. He collects your tears and knows the physical ache you feel at the thought of losing her. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10. Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28. We know that asking Jesus to cover you both is precious to Him, for we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

We want to gently encourage you that when thoughts become so dark and reoccurring and you feel you cannot physically take the pain, please do not walk through this alone. Reach out right away to a trusted pastor, a biblical counselor, a family member or friend, or a medical professional who can walk with you in person. God often carries us through the love and support of others, and we need one another. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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.

We do not know all of what God will do in this illness, but we know His character never changes. He is compassionate, He is sovereign, and He works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose Romans 8:28. Sometimes healing comes in ways we pray for, and sometimes His sustaining grace carries us through a long and painful valley, but He never leaves us. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11.

We pray together now for you and for your loved one.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and our access to Your throne. We lift up this dear one who is weary, overwhelmed, and tormented by dark and reoccurring thoughts, and we lift up this precious loved one with Alzheimer's. Lord, we ask You to cover them both in the blood of Jesus. Place Your healing hand upon this loved one according to Your perfect will, and bring comfort, dignity, and peace to her. For the one who is suffering beside her, we ask You to be their safe space and their rock when their world feels shaken. Let them feel Your nearness. Quiet the dark thoughts and replace despair with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Give them strength for each day, breathe hope where they see no point, and surround them with people who will support and check on them and help carry this burden. Show them they are deeply loved and not forgotten, and hold them fast with Your righteous right hand. We trust You with what we cannot understand and we ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus. Amen.
 
We hear your cry and that you need help. Thank you Father for supporting her and Lord Yeshua for wstchung over her. Only continue in prayers and faith and the Lord will give you mercies and compassion for pain. Lord Yeshuas name. Amen.

What you are facing with your loved one's Alzheimer's at such a young age would rock anyone's world. It makes sense that you feel deflated and knocked off your feet, that your safe space feels shaken, and that you are fighting to be strong while wondering what the point is. Loving someone through memory loss is a long and painful grief, and it is understandable to feel exhausted and afraid of what lies ahead.

We want to stay with you in this. You do not have to decide everything today. A gentle next step can be to let one safe person know exactly what you shared here, and to ask for help with both practical care and your own rest and support. You deserve care too as you care for her.

Father, we lift this dear one and their loved one to You in Jesus name. Cover them both with Your presence and mercy. Hold them when the pain feels too much to bear, quiet the dark thoughts, and bring steady, trustworthy people around them for help and comfort. Give wisdom for each day and remind them they are seen and loved by You. Amen.
 
Your sorrowful cry has been heard, and the heaviness you describe is known to the Lord who searches the heart. You speak of dark and reoccurring thoughts, of being knocked off your feet, of a world and safe space that are rocked, and of feeling deflated after praying so hard for healing. It is no small trial to watch one so young and so dear to you suffer under the shadow of Alzheimer's, and to feel that you cannot bear the pain of losing her.

Know this, that the Lord takes cognizance of your thoughts. There are with us in the night of trial thoughts tumultuous and thoughts of foreboding which haunt us, and it is not strange that in such dark and tempestuous hours these conceptions should arise even in a godly mind. You are not alone in this multitude of thoughts, and you are not forgotten in it. The promise is that in the multitude of our thoughts within us, His comforts delight the soul.

The Scriptures declare, How precious also are Your thoughts unto me, O God, how great is the sum of them. His thoughts concerning you are constant, kind, wise, tender, gracious and perfect. From everlasting He has had thoughts of love toward His people, and those thoughts have never ceased. When our own thoughts are vanity, His thoughts are precious. When our thoughts run one way and His run in an opposite direction, we cannot have fellowship with Him until our thoughts are conformed to His by faith. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

This is not a hard word, but a merciful one. It means that His love is higher than our fear, His wisdom higher than our understanding, and His tenderness higher than our despair. Your ways would be to keep this loved one well and near you always, and it is right to pray for healing, for believing prayer never fails, yet the answer sometimes comes in an unexpected fashion and not at all as we thought. He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or even think, and even when He enriches us by our poverty, it is still love that governs.

You have asked Jesus to cover you and your loved one in His blood, and that is the safest place to be. Low thoughts of ourselves are the companions of prevailing prayers, and humility is not a barrier but a pathway to Him. He knows your grief, your temptation, your misery and the crying out of your spirit, and He prepares the heart to pray. No one cries to Christ so well as the one who is beginning to sink. Bring even your feeble, broken prayers to Him. He hears the brief, silent prayer offered in the midst of sorrow, as He heard Nehemiah when Jerusalem lay waste upon his heart day and night.

Do not measure the preciousness of God's thoughts by the answer you yet see. Your peace cannot rest safely upon whether you see healing in the way you now desire, for then peace would rise and fall with circumstances. Let it rest upon this, that when you awake, you are still with Him. Holy thoughts of His precious thoughts place us near to God, and nearness to Him is itself comfort when forebodings multiply.

I pray for you now, that the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom alone is salvation, will hold you fast in this storm. May He grant healing according to His perfect will, and may He grant sustaining grace for each day, whether in healing or in continued trial. May He guard your mind, lift the darkness that presses upon you, and fill you with believing thoughts and thankful thoughts which bring summer to the soul even when it is winter outside. May He keep your loved one in His tender care, and keep you also, and give you strength not your own.

Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Do not bear this burden alone. Turn at once to a faithful pastor, a trusted believer, or a godly counselor near you, and let them watch with you and pray with you. If the dark thoughts grow to where you feel you may be unsafe, seek help without delay from someone near you whom you trust, and let them stay with you.

May the Lord make His comforts to delight your soul, and make His thoughts more precious to you than your own sorrows.
