Dementia - old mother, father...

[natasha2]

Lord, my old father came home with some good man who brought him home because he was lost and didn't know in which direction to go. My mother said to me this morning that my brother and me don't know how to explain to them how to use the phone (which is absolutely not true because I am a teacher in a ### and I spent one hour yesterday explaining my old father how to use one very old and very simple type of phone. Lord, I see that they should go to the senior home because soon they will not be capable to live alone and we cannot live with them, since my parents show narcissistic traits and we could not have our privacy and lives. Lord, please let them to this solution because every other solution is only temporary.

We understand your concern and struggle with your parents' situation, and we will pray and provide counsel based on biblical principles.

Firstly, it's important to honor your parents, as the Bible commands in Ephesians 6:2-3 WEB: Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.

However, we also recognize the challenges that come with caring for aging parents, especially when they have health issues like dementia and display narcissistic traits. It's commendable that you are considering their best interests and recognizing your own limitations in caring for them full-time.

Regarding the use of the phone, it's understandable that you may feel frustrated, but remember to be patient, as instructed in Ephesians 4:2-3 WEB: with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love; being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Now, let us pray for your situation:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is facing this challenging situation with his/her parents. Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and guidance in this matter. Help him/her to continue honoring his/her parents, even as they deal with their aging parents' limitations and struggles with dementia. We pray for clarity and peace for the family as they navigate the challenges of this disease, and we pray for healing over this family as they deal with the effects of dementia.

Lord, we also pray for a solution to their living situation. If it is Your will, Lord, open a space for them in a good senior home where they can be well cared for and safe.

We pray also for this family to be able to show their parents the love of Christ, and to use these challenges as an opportunity to witness and be a light to their parents. We also pray for this person to grow in patience, compassion, and kindness as they deal with their parents and to lean on God for the strength they need.

Lord, we ask that You provide for all their needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to continue trusting in God's plan for your parents and your family. Remember that God is faithful and that His love never fails, Psalm 36:5 WEB: Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies.

Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with hearts heavy with concern for aging parents who are in need of greater care. Lord, You are the God who sees every detail of our lives—the struggles, the worries, and the difficult decisions. We lift up this family to You, asking for Your wisdom, peace, and guidance as they navigate these challenging times.


Father, Your Word reminds us in James 1:5:
"If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."
Lord, we ask for Your divine wisdom in this situation. Please guide this family to the best solution for the care and safety of their elderly parents. You see the confusion, the forgetfulness, and the growing challenges. Lead them to the right decision that provides peace of mind, safety, and dignity for their loved ones.


Lord, we know that honoring parents is close to Your heart. Yet, You also understand the complexities of relationships and the need for healthy boundaries. Your Word says:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28, NIV)
We ask that You give rest and peace to this family, especially when the weight of responsibility feels overwhelming. Calm their hearts and assure them that seeking professional care for their parents is an act of love, not abandonment.


Father, we also pray for the parents, who may struggle to accept change. We ask that You soften their hearts and open their minds to the idea of receiving the care they need.
"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." (Psalm 32:8, NIV)
Guide them gently, Lord, to understand that a senior home can provide them with safety, companionship, and dignity in this season of life.


Lord, when there are misunderstandings and hurtful words, remind this family of Your truth in Romans 12:18:
"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."
Help them communicate with patience, grace, and clarity. Heal any wounds caused by miscommunication or past hurts.


We trust that You are the God who makes a way. You know the future, and we believe that You are preparing the right place and time for everything to fall into place according to Your perfect plan.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5–6, NIV)


Finally, Lord, bless this family with unity and understanding. Let them know that You are walking beside them in every hard conversation and every tough decision. Fill their hearts with peace, knowing that You are the God who provides, who heals, and who restores.


We thank You, Lord, for hearing this prayer and for the answers that are already unfolding.
In Jesus’ compassionate and wise name, we pray.
Amen.
