Prayers

[Anonymous]

Please pray for my brother’s mental health. He suffers from a serious mental illness, and today he experienced another very distressing episode. Our mother made French toast, and he became extremely angry, shouting at her for hours. After he had eaten, he then spent hours insulting me. I had not said anything hurtful to him. He repeatedly claimed that all my friends have abandoned me, bringing up people from more than 20 years ago whom I no longer have contact with. He also constantly mentions ###, an ex-boyfriend from over 20 years ago, and “###” (whose real name is ###), a beauty therapist who performed treatments for me but was never actually my friend we stopped with her services as she became very expensive. He deliberately mispronounces her name, seemingly to provoke me. I never respond with anger or argue back, but I am becoming emotionally exhausted by the constant insults, shouting, and repetition. My biggest concern is my mother. I continue answering his calls because I worry about her wellbeing, and she hopes to move here to live with me in the future, so maintaining contact is very important. When I become too overwhelmed, I sometimes say that I have a visitor or another commitment so that he will end the call. I am grateful that, through your prayers, there has been some improvement. He now calls less often in the mornings, which has been a great relief. However, he still makes false accusations that people hate me, even though that is not true. He is the one who calls repeatedly throughout the day, he's the one with no friends or anyone interested talking to as he becomes difficult during his attacks , and during some episodes he screams incoherently and speaks in what sounds like gibberish. I also urgently need prayer for my housing situation. The house I was renting was severely flooded and is still completely uninhabitable. It has been stripped back to the brickwork and is nowhere near ready to live in. I am currently staying in temporary accommodation provided through the insurance arrangement, but the insurance company now wants to stop paying for it even though the house is still not habitable. I receive disability benefits and cannot afford another rent while I am still under contract with my previous landlord as part of the insurance agreement. Please pray that God will make a way where there seems to be none, provide the right solution, soften the hearts of those making these decisions, and protect both my mother and me during this difficult time. Jesus Christ, please have mercy on us and provide the miracle we so desperately need. Thank you all so much for your prayers.

 

[Articles]

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your brother, your mother, and you in prayer. The pain and exhaustion you carry are deeply felt, and we stand with you in seeking God’s mercy, healing, and provision.

Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in your brother’s mental health. Scripture tells us in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Lord, we pray for his mind, that You would bring clarity where there is confusion, peace where there is turmoil, and healing where there is brokenness. We rebuke the spirit of anger and accusation that has taken hold of him, and we ask that You break its power in Jesus’ name. Surround him with Your love and protection, and soften his heart to receive the help and support he needs. We also pray for wisdom for those who care for him, doctors, counselors, and family, that they would be guided by Your hand in every decision.

For your mother, we ask for Your strength and comfort. The weight of caring for a loved one in such distress is immense, and we pray that she would feel Your presence sustaining her. Give her patience, wisdom, and moments of rest. We declare over her Isaiah 41:10, "Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t 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." May she find hope in You, even in the midst of this trial.

We also lift up your housing situation, Lord. The stress of displacement and uncertainty is overwhelming, but we know that You are the God who makes a way where there seems to be none. We pray that You would move on behalf of the insurance company, softening their hearts to continue providing support until the home is fully restored. We declare Philippians 4:19 over this situation: "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Provide the right solution, Lord, whether through financial provision, favor with authorities, or an unexpected blessing. We trust in Your faithfulness to care for Your children.

For you, dear sister, we pray for endurance and peace. The emotional toll of this season is great, but we encourage you to lean on the Lord, who promises in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." You are not alone in this. We pray that God would refresh your spirit, grant you wisdom in setting boundaries, and surround you with His love. We also gently remind you to guard your heart against bitterness or resentment, trusting that God sees your sacrifice and will reward your faithfulness.

Lastly, we address the mention of your brother’s fixation on past relationships, including an ex-boyfriend. While we do not judge the past, we encourage you to seek God’s healing and closure in your own heart. If there are areas where you need to surrender past hurts or relationships to Him, we pray that you would do so, trusting in His redemptive power. Scripture reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to heal, restore, and provide. May His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in this difficult season. Amen.

We’ve been carrying your request with us, and we just want you to know you’re not alone in this. The weight you’re describing, both the emotional toll of your brother’s episodes and the terrifying housing limbo, would wear anyone down. It makes complete sense that you feel exhausted. When someone you love repeatedly shouts false accusations and dredges up decades-old hurts, it lands as real pain, no matter what’s behind it. You are not what his illness says you are, and you’re not failing when you protect yourself by ending a call. That’s a wise boundary, not a lack of love. God sees the care you’re showing your mother, and he also sees your need for safety and rest.

We’re grateful for the small relief you’ve already seen, and we’re asking for more. On the housing front, this feels like an impossible knot, but we’re praying for a way through. One practical step you might consider, if you haven’t already, is contacting a local tenants’ rights organization or legal aid service. They often help people in exactly your situation push back when an insurance company tries to cut off temporary accommodation while a home is still unlivable, especially when disability benefits are involved. Sometimes just having an advocate can shift things.

We’re lifting you and your mother up right now.

Lord Jesus, have mercy. You see this sister’s exhaustion, her love for her mother, and the crumbling ground beneath her feet. Quiet the storm in her brother’s mind, and shield her heart from the lies his illness hurls. Make a way where there seems to be none: soften the hearts of those deciding her housing, and bring a just, swift resolution. Hold her mother close, and give them both your peace that doesn’t depend on circumstances. We trust you to meet every need, in your time and your way. Amen.

Thank you so much for the prayers; they help a lot. The issue is that we tried the housing help everywhere, even lawyers, but most of them don't want to help our situation, and the ones that would like to charge more than I can afford. I tried all charities and organisations already sadly is a dead end. Unfortunately if there's no choice whatsoever we might need to move upstairs where there's semi living space as there are beds and electricity and water even though severe infiltration so we get out of contract and be able to get the deposit back. I would prefer other way such as the insurance paying longer so we can have more time with the house with better conditions as this incident happened 4 times already one time or the other the best option is to move out of there but sadly would be too hard now we need a miracle.

[Spurgeon]

How heavily this present trial presses upon you, and how keenly your heart aches for both your brother and your mother! Yet I would have you see that this very crisis, this bewildering storm of affliction, is but the hour in which our blessed Lord passes by, ready to show His mercy to all who cry out after Him. You are not abandoned, though the enemy would whisper that all friends have fled. The sweetest name of Jesus is near, and He knows every pang of your weary spirit.

I must speak plainly: your brother’s dreadful outbursts, those cruel insults, that torrent of confusion, these are not merely strange behaviors but tokens of a deep inward malady, a sickness far more terrible to the soul than any bodily plague. The shrieking and the gibberish are like that hour of crisis I have often described, where the mind seems unhinged and the man appears lost in a wilderness of his own making. And yet, while life lasts, the Savior is still passing by. Even for him there is hope, though you tremble to think how close he may be to that boundary beyond which no voice of mercy reaches. But your silent endurance, your refusal to answer wrath with wrath, here is the mark of grace, the self-same Spirit who enabled our Master to endure the contradiction of sinners against Himself. Continue to answer his calls, if only for your mother’s sake, and do not despise that little device of a pretence visitor, for wisdom is justified of her children, and our Lord Himself did not always lay bare every thought before His accusers.

The heaviest burden is your mother. I perceive that her move to dwell with you is a golden thread in this dark weave, and it is right that you should cling to that hope. A father’s pity, yes, our heavenly Father’s, is far more effectual than a mother’s, though a mother’s love be the tenderest thing on earth. He will not suffer you to sink under this constant drain of emotion. He knows how often you have said, “I cannot go on,” and yet He has borne you through. Your prayer for your brother’s improvement has already begun to receive an answer; those fewer morning calls are a sign that the Lord is not deaf to your cries. Thank Him for this small mercy, and let it strengthen your faith for greater deliverances.

Now, as for the house, ah, this is another kind of crisis, a flood that has swept away your resting-place and left you like Noah’s dove without a spot to set your foot. The insurance company’s hardness of heart is a sharp trial, but remember, the doctrine of God’s decrees never stops a hungry man from seeking bread. Act upon this present emergency with bold prayer. You have a contract, you have a need, and you have a God who made the dry land appear. I urge you not to look at the brickwork stripped naked, nor at the voices that say, “No more provision.” Look rather to Him who is the hinge of all history, Jesus Christ, whose death was the grand crisis that turned the world from despair to hope. If He spared not His own Son, how shall He not with Him freely give you all things? This housing crisis is but a little hinge on which a door of mercy may swing wide.

I do not offer light comfort, for I know the anguish of a forlorn spirit and the dread of being cast out. But I press you to take this as the hour of decision: will you let this storm drive you deeper into the cleft of the Rock, or will you faint? You have a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother, and when earthly brothers rail and insurers threaten, that Friend remains. He can soften hearts that seem harder than the nether millstone. He can make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert. Cry mightily to Him, not once, but with importunity, and believe that the miracle you desperately need is already on its way. The world’s crisis was met at Calvary; your little crises are swallowed up in that eternal victory. Even now, the Son of God intercedes for you, and the Father’s pity is a mighty bulwark. Go your way then, and let your heart be stayed upon Him. I shall not cease to pray that your mother be spared, your brother’s reason be restored, and a safe dwelling be opened before you. The winter is passing; the time of the singing of birds shall come.
