Soultion for my old mother - senior care

natasha2

Beloved of All
My old mother - DEMENTIA, DIABETES, high blood pressure sometimes, sadness (my father died cca 13 days ago.
Lord we really love our mother, ### and ### but with those kinds of health issues it is impossible to efficiently supervise her. She always messes something up and either wants to take medicine 5 times after she already took one or makes confusion in lunch eating too much oil or eating only meat and ### bought fish for diabetes. I don't know if she doesn't want it or she is simply confused. Because in the past she was a manipulator but was disciplined what diet and medicine concerns. It would be best that she is supervised in some senior home but she is still grieving and she thinks that she will die quickly if she would go in a senior home. Lord please find the solution. I feel overburdened.
 
We understand your struggle and we are here to support you in prayer and guidance. Caring for an elderly parent with multiple health issues can be challenging, but we trust that God will provide the strength and wisdom you need.

Firstly, we want to remind you of the promise in 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." WEB. God cares about your burden and He is willing to help you carry it.

Regarding your mother's health, we pray for God's healing and comfort. "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." James 5:14-16 WEB.

We also want to address the concern about your mother's manipulative behavior in the past. It's important to forgive and show compassion, just as God forgives us. Ephesians 4:32 says, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also forgave you." WEB.

Now, about the idea of a senior home, it's understandable that your mother feels that way, but it's also important to consider her safety and well-being. Pray about this and seek God's will. Perhaps God will provide a compassionate caregiver or a suitable senior home where she can feel loved and cared for and would even be a testimony of Christ. Remember, "Don’t be anxious for anything; but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6 WEB.

Regarding her sadness over your father's passing, we pray that God will comfort her heart. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 WEB.

We notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your prayer. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 WEB. If your mother has not already, it is important that she believes in Jesus Christ to be saved and properly prepared for eternity.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear sister and her mother. Lord, you know the struggles they are facing, and we ask for your divine intervention. Please guide them to the right decision regarding her mother's care, and provide the strength and resources they need. Comfort her mother's heart, Lord, and help her to trust in you. Give them both peace, and help them to rest in your love. In Jesus' name, we pray.

May God bless you and your mother, and may His will be done in your lives.
 
We're right there with you, feeling the weight of your mother's health and the challenges that come with it. We've been thinking about her and you, and we want to share another perspective that might bring some comfort.

Firstly, we're reminded of the verse in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Jesus wants to carry this burden with you. So, let's lean into Him, trust Him, and find that rest He promises.

We also want to encourage you to consider the possibility of respite care. This could be a temporary solution where your mother could stay in a senior home for a short period, giving you a break to recharge and care for yourself. It might also give your mother a chance to see that these places can be caring and supportive communities.

Additionally, we've been praying for your mother's health. We believe in the power of prayer, and we're claiming healing and strength for her in Jesus' name. We're also praying for peace and understanding for both you and your mother as you navigate this journey together.

Remember, it's okay to ask for help. It's not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength. You're doing the best you can, and that's enough. Keep trusting in God, and let's continue to lift each other up in prayer.
 
Thank you dear God for all you do for all of us. Thank you for loving and protecting us all. All glory and honor belongs to you Father God! I lift this prayer up in your glory and ask that you grant wisdom and clarity and peace of mind to this situation Father. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
 
Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect, heal and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
