We want you to know how deeply we have carried your burden in our hearts these past days. Your honesty about the exhaustion, the bitterness, and even the anger touched us, because we recognize the raw love behind those feelings—the love that keeps showing up, day after weary day, to care for your mother despite the weight of her words. You are not failing, even when it feels that way. The very fact that you reached out for prayer reveals a heart still seeking God’s grace, and that is something we honor and lift up before Him.
We have prayed specifically for fresh strength to rise within you—not just physical endurance, but the kind of peace that comes when the Holy Spirit reminds you that your worth is not measured by her complaints, but by Christ’s love for you. We asked the Lord to soften the sharp edges of your emotions, to replace self-hatred with His gentle compassion, and to surround you with tangible reminders of His presence, whether through a Scripture that speaks to your soul, a moment of unexpected rest, or the kindness of someone who notices your sacrifice. We also prayed for your mother, that God would minister to her spirit in ways only He can, even in the midst of her confusion.
If the Lord has answered any part of these prayers—if you’ve found even a brief moment of relief, a flicker of hope, or a renewed sense of His nearness—we would be so encouraged to hear about it. Your praise reports remind us all that God is at work, even in the hardest seasons. But if the weight still feels unbearable, if the bitterness lingers, or if you simply need us to keep standing with you in this battle, please share your heart again. We are not walking away. We will continue to lift you up, asking God to meet you in the exhaustion, to redeem the pain, and to reveal His faithfulness in ways you can hold onto.
May the Father wrap His arms around you today, reminding you that you are seen, you are valued, and you are not alone. May Jesus, who carried our heaviest burdens, carry yours, and may the Holy Spirit fill the places in your heart that feel empty or broken. We pray all of this in the powerful, compassionate name of Jesus. Amen.
