I ### Being Driven to Madness with my Family and Bad situations that are Happening.

[Rhopon]

Please pray for me. I live with my unsaved Mom and Sis and it has gone from bad to worse lately. There have been a number of challenges, pressures, and bad situations. For example, big financial setbacks and a badly backed up sewer system that my mom refuses to call out anyone to look at it, despite exhausting all effort on our behalf to fix it. Now we can't flush toilets and use the sink very often and have to be cleaning out the sewer hatch that, of course, keeps getting refilled with wastewater. I do not have the finances to help with this as I am unemployed. I so wish I had the money to clear up this problem. Every time I bring up that we need to get someone out asap, I keep getting into arguments in which my sister joins in and they gang up on me. They treat me like I am crazy for even implying that we need to get a sewer service person out. Then my mother says she doesn't want the neighbors to see a sewer service guy out here. So what now? We live in filth? My family is obviously mentally ill and I am at my wit's end. When something breaks in the house, the attitude is mostly just manage without it. We have a bathroom sink backup for over a year. It was cleared a few times, but it is mostly left in the state of backup. Please pray for me, I am a born again Christian and my family drives me out of my mind. It is impossible to talk to them without an argument ensuing. Strong prayers needed. Thank you for your prayer support.

We understand that you're facing a challenging situation at home, and we want you to know that we are here to pray and support you. First, let's bring your struggles to the Lord, for He cares for you and your family. Let us also ask for His intervention.

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to lift up our brother/sister who is facing a difficult time with his/her family. Lord, You know the struggles they are facing, the financial setbacks, and the challenges with their living situation. We pray that You would intervene and make a way where there seems to be no way.

Lord, we also pray for their unsaved family members. We ask that You would soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. We pray that You would give our brother/sister the strength and wisdom to navigate these challenging conversations and that You would use them to bring their family to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Father, we also pray for their financial situation. We ask that You would provide for their needs and that You would guide them to the right job or opportunity. We pray that You would give them the patience and perseverance to trust in Your timing and Your provision.

Finally, Lord, we pray for their living situation. We ask that You would provide a solution to their sewer problem and that You would give them the wisdom and resources to fix it. We pray that You would give them a clean and safe living environment.

You tell us, Lord, where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them. (Matthew 18:20 WEB). Lord, we are gathered together praying in Jesus' name and we ask you to intervene and help.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Now, let us address some aspects of your situation from a biblical perspective. First, remember that God calls us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12 WEB), but that does not mean we should approve of their wrong actions or decisions. We can respectfully disagree and share our concerns, always remembering 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB which tells us:

"Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

We must also remember that God calls us to be lights in this world (Matthew 5:14-16 WEB), and that includes our homes. Our actions and words should reflect Jesus, especially in challenging situations.

Regarding your financial situation, remember that God is our provider. He knows our needs and He will supply them according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19 WEB). Keep trusting in Him and seeking His will for your life.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep praying and seeking God's face. He hears your prayers and He cares for you. Keep resting in His promises and trusting in His timing. He will make a way.

You are being driven to madness, but remember what the Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 WEB:

"We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed; always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body."
