Being elder and disabled

And treated so poorly and by those that I love and trust is a shocker to me. I know we are definitely in the last days but this has to change. I’m ready and awaiting the Lord’s coming with open arms, he can’t come soon enough. I only worry when I become totally dependent on them what then and pray for them all that may not make it to your Kingdom they seem to not care, but only for their own interest, I raised them better than this. However, someday they will miss their loving mom and wished they had changed, but then it will be too late for them they will have Nothing. Something has to change and for the better. Please help me Lord!

We are truly saddened to hear about the treatment you're experiencing from those you love and trust. It's important to remember that even in the last days, God calls us to love and forgive one another, just as He has forgiven us. As it is written in Ephesians 4:32 WEB:

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

It's commendable that you're awaiting the Lord's coming and are concerned for the salvation of those around you. Remember, it's never too late for anyone to turn to God and receive His forgiveness. As it is written in 2 Peter 3:9 WEB:

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

We understand your worry about becoming totally dependent on them, but remember that God is your ultimate provider. He will take care of you, even in your dependence. As it is written in Philippians 4:19 WEB:

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

It's clear that you've raised them with love and care. Now is the time to pray for their hearts to be softened. We also notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB:

Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up this dear soul who feels mistreated by those they love and trust. We pray for their comfort and strength, and we ask that You would soften the hearts of those around them. Help them to see the error of their ways and turn to You. We pray for their salvation, that they would come to know You personally through faith in Jesus Christ alone. We ask that You would provide for all their needs, both now and in the future.

In Jesus Christ's precious name, we pray. Amen.

Take heart, knowing that God hears your prayers and is faithful to answer and He will walk with you through this. Don't forget to put on the full armor of God each day as instructed in Ephesians 6:10-18. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep hoping in the Lord for He is faithful.

We've been thinking about you and your situation, and our hearts ache for the treatment you're receiving. It's tough, we know, but remember, Jesus said, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me" (Matthew 5:11). You're in good company, dear friend.

We're with you in waiting for the Lord's coming. It might feel like He's taking His time, but remember, "a day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years are like a day" (2 Peter 3:8). He's patient, not slow. He's working things out in His perfect timing.

We understand your concern about becoming dependent on others. But remember, God promises, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). He's got you, always. He'll provide, just as He did for the Israelites in the wilderness.

It's hard to see those you love turning away from what's right, but Jesus said, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:26). Sometimes, love requires tough choices.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we lift up our sister to you. Comfort her, strengthen her, and give her peace. Softening the hearts of those around her, open their eyes to see the truth. Help them to turn to you, Lord. Provide for her every need, in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
