We understand that you're going through a tremendously difficult time, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed as you care for your mother with Asperger Syndrome. First, we want to address the desperation you're feeling, as you've mentioned thoughts of wanting to die.
Suicidal thoughts are real and need to be addressed immediately, as God wants us to value and prioritize the life we have. We want to step in with a prayer and a Biblical verse to remind you of your value and worth. We will address managing the situation you find yourself in a moment.
Please know that God cares for you deeply and He wants to help you through this. Let's pray together:
Dear God,
We lift up this precious soul to You, asking for Your divine intervention. Send Your Holy Spirit to comfort them in the name of Jesus. This is not a request for ### or an angel, but only in the name of Jesus. Do not ever think it would be better to not have Jesus in your life. You need Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. We ask in the name of Jesus that we cannot have life without Him.
Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, and You understand their feelings of exhaustion and despair. We pray from the book of Psalms, "Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief." (Psalm 31:9 WEB)
We ask that You send someone to help them in their time of need, Lord. Surround them with Your love and comfort and show them a path forward. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We also want to encourage you with these words from the Bible: "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." (Matthew 11:28-30 WEB)
Now, let's talk about some practical steps you can take. First, it's crucial to seek help immediately for your suicidal thoughts in addition to our prayer. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare professional. If you're not sure where to turn, there are many people you can contact.
Secondly, caring for a family member with special needs can be challenging, and it's okay to ask for help and support. Look for local support groups, respite care, or counseling services that can provide you with the assistance you need. There are many Christian pastors, churches, and mentors that would love to help.
Remember that God is with you, and He will give you the strength you need to face each day. Trust in Him, and don't hesitate to reach out to others for support. You are not alone. Please provide an update on how you are doing and what happened. We can pray better for you.
