We hear your burden and we join with you in bringing this very important need before our Father in Jesus' name, and we thank you for asking in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace.

We understand how heavy your load is, working in another city with no car, dependent on trains that run only every two hours, needing to catch the train in the early morning and return in the late afternoon, while also preparing a gastric diet each morning, caring for your old and sick loved one who suffers with late stage Alzheimer, diabetes and depression, and managing so much cooking and dishes in a little apartment with no place for a dishwasher. The Lord sees your faithfulness in these many years of difficult schedules and He sees your service to your family and your work.

We are reminded of His word that says, 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 humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30. And also, Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22. He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. Isaiah 40:29.

We pray together for you now.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up Your daughter to You. You know her working schedule need for this school year, the exact hours she needs to catch the train and return, and all the reasons behind it. We ask for Your favor and mercy upon her from You and from all the people involved in making the schedule, the principal, the two teachers and the instructors. We ask that You would soften hearts and open a way where there seems to be no way, that those in authority would act with understanding and kindness. We commit her work to You, for Your word says Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. Proverbs 3:6 and Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. Colossians 3:23. Give her wisdom and grace as she speaks with those in authority, to make her request known with gentleness and respect, trusting You to move on her behalf.

Lord, we also bring before You the additional problems, the changes in the school system and the many teachers, and we ask for Your peace over what feels chaotic and out of her control. We pray 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.

Father, have mercy and strengthen her as she cares for her old sick loved one, provide endurance, help and moments of rest. Your word says But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith. 1 Timothy 5:8, and we see her honoring You in this care. Sustain her health as she keeps her gastric diet, provide for her daily bread and give her strength for the early mornings and long days. When her heart is overwhelmed, lead her to the rock that is higher than she is. Psalm 61:2.

We ask that You would show Your mighty power in this situation, not for strife but for Your glory and for her good, that all would see that You care for Your children and that You are our defender and provider. Help her to trust in You with all her heart and not lean on her own understanding, and to acknowledge You in all her ways, believing You will direct her paths. Proverbs 3:5-6. We ask this all in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior, amen.

We have been holding your request before the Lord and we hear how heavy this load has become.

Catching a train at that early hour and returning so late, with a two hour gap between trains, while working in another city and caring for an elderly parent with late stage Alzheimer's, diabetes and depression, plus the daily cooking, dishes in a small apartment with no room for a dishwasher, and a gastric diet you have to prepare each morning, that is a lot to carry every single day. It makes sense you feel worn down after years of difficult schedules, and unseen when it feels like others are not willing to help.

We are praying for favor and mercy for you with the principal and everyone involved in making the schedule, and for wisdom for them as they juggle many teachers and system changes. One practical step that sometimes helps is to put your needs in a short, clear written note to give to the principal early, the exact trains you must catch, that you are the caregiver at home, and the one or two time windows that would make this sustainable, and ask if one trusted colleague could go with you or speak for you as well. At home, if there is any family, church family, or community support that could share even a small part of the cooking or care, letting them carry one piece can bring a little breathing room.

Father, we lift our sister to You. You see her long days, her care for her parent, and her desire to do her work well. Grant her favor with those who set the schedule, give wisdom to all involved, and provide strength and rest for each day. Guard her health and her parent's health and let her know she is not forgotten. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your burden has been brought before the Lord with prayer, and we have asked Him to look upon you in His tender mercy.

We hear how heavy this season is, with the early train and the late return, the journey to another city every two hours, the need to prepare food for a gastric diet, the constant care for your loved one suffering with late stage Alzheimer, diabetes and depression, the many dishes in a small apartment with no room for a machine, and the changes and pressures within the school. The Lord knows these stern and trying providences, and when He has distinct and definite purposes of mercy towards His own, He often permits such afflictions to bring us low, that we may see more clearly the footsteps of mercy coming toward us.

Be encouraged that the tender mercy of our God is not reluctant. You do not need to move Him to mercy as if He were unwilling, it is we who need to be moved to accept the mercy He is already ready to give. All His mercy to sinners is gratis. He never sells, He always gives. He acts not because of any merit in us, but because He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy. His mercy is plenteous and His nature is slow to anger and infinitely good, and His sword of justice still sleeps in its sheath while His rod of mercy is outstretched toward those who trust His dear Son.

What the Gospel asks of you, it also gives to you. It asks for faith, and it gives faith. It asks for a broken heart, and it softens the heart. We were not fit to receive His mercy, yet His mercy came. We were not ready for Christ, but Christ came to us. The God of your mercy shall go before you, for that is what it means that He prevents you. Before you call He hears, and while you are yet speaking He answers. Before you could prepare a prayer aright, His mercy was already on the way to meet you.

We have therefore prayed that the Lord who delights in mercy would grant you favor and mercy, both from Himself and from all those who have a hand in the making of the schedule, the principal, the teachers and instructors. We have asked that He would go before you in every conversation and decision, that He would soften hearts, grant wisdom and kindness where there has been unwillingness, and open a way for a schedule that allows you to keep your duties at work and at home with health and strength. We have prayed for your loved one in their sickness, for your own body as you keep the diet and bear the daily labor, and for peace in the school amid so many changes.

Cast your care upon Him, and continue to seek Him through Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name by which we may come to the Father, and no other Mediator who can interpret between God and man and shed abroad the sense of mercy in the heart. Trust His dear Son, and rest in this, that He will set you free and load you daily with His benefits and delight to do it.

May the Lord show you His mighty power and send help in His own way and time, and may He be glorified in sustaining you day by day.

We will continue to pray for you, that you may know the tender mercy of our God not only in words, but in the sweet sense of it in your heart, and that you may find present privilege and future favor at His throne.
