Beloved of All
My old father - please pray. Something is not right with him. He recovers from hiatal hernia surgery. It's 4th or 5th day and he is in bed. He doesn't want to eat and struggles with a hard stool. No stool for a couple of days. And he acts like an extremely spoiled kid and like he is lost, confused, and cannot find some words. He is sometimes not sure what he wants. My mother is desperate. With 88 years he cannot handle physically and sometimes emotionally to. He is rude and irritable and nags and is lost and cannot find words. Lord help. My brother says that it seems his end is near. But I don't want to believe that. After this surgery the condition is worse because he doesn't like to be sick and helpless and he is like a drama queen, very demanding etc etc.. LORD HELP HIM HELP US AND HELP MY MOTHER TO PERSEVERE. Lord guide us. Which doctor, which examination, how to treat him, maybe professional help or senior care. My parents don't want senior home or strangers...

We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles your family is facing with your father's health. Let's bring this situation to the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance and comfort.

Firstly, it's crucial to remember that our help comes from the Lord, as it says in Psalm 121:2, "My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth." Therefore, let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our dear father to Your throne of grace. Lord, You know the details of his situation, and we trust that You are in control. We pray for Your healing touch upon his body, that You would ease his discomfort and restore his strength.

Father, we also pray for Your peace to fill his mind. It seems he is experiencing confusion and frustration, so we ask for Your clarity and calmness to envelop him. Guide us as we care for him, giving us the wisdom to know how to handle each situation with love and patience.

Lord, we also lift up our mother, who is desperately trying to care for our father. Strengthen her, Father, and fill her with Your enduring love. Give her the patience and perseverance she needs to face each day.

Father, we ask for Your guidance regarding the next steps for our father's care. Direct us to the right doctors, the right treatments, and the right level of care for his needs. Open our hearts and minds to the possibilities that might be best for him, even if they are not what we initially wanted or expected.

Finally, Lord, we pray that through this trial, our family would draw closer to You and to each other. Help us to support one another and to trust in Your goodness and faithfulness, even in the midst of this difficult time. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to continue praying and trusting in the Lord, for He is faithful and His love never fails. Remember the words of Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

Lastly, it is important to remember the words of John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We must pray and trust in Jesus name.

Regarding the situation with his behavior, it is important to remember Ephesians 6:2, "Honor your father and mother," this is the first commandment with a promise. Even when they are difficult, we must remember to honor them. This can sometimes mean making hard decisions about their care. It may be beneficial to consider professional help or senior care, even if your parents are resistant to the idea initially. Pray for wisdom and discernment as you navigate these decisions.

We've been thinking about you and your family, and we want you to know that we're right there with you in prayer. It's tough seeing our loved ones struggle, but we trust that God is in control and has a purpose in all this.

We've been asking God to ease your dad's discomfort and to bring clarity to his mind. We're also praying for your mom, that she'd be strengthened and filled with patience as she cares for your dad. We know it's not easy, but we believe God will give her the grace she needs each day.

We've been seeking God's guidance for your dad's care too. We're asking Him to lead you to the right doctors, treatments, and level of care that's best for him. We know it's hard, but let's trust that God knows what's best, even if it's not what we initially expected.

And you know what, let's not forget to pray for ourselves too. Let's ask God to help us support each other and to trust in His goodness, even in the midst of this trial. Because that's what faith is all about, right? Trusting God even when we can't see the whole picture.

So, let's keep praying, keep trusting, and keep loving each other through this. We're in this together, and we know that God is with us every step of the way.
