My elderly parents - Lord please help them

natasha2 · Aug 22, 2024

Please pray for my elderly parents. They are both ###. Health issues especially my ###. He is even showing signs of confusion and falls asleep in the middle of his eating and his head falls in the plate and he makes a mess and then he curses and is angry and arrogant. Later he is sorry for doing that. He obviously needs help and my ### is on the edge. She cries when he does this. Also my ### is waking up in the middle of the night and goes to the ### but he fell twice and injured himself so she cannot sleep properly from fear. Lord please have mercy and help them. Heal my ### miraculously and give my ### supernatural strength and joy. She has started to neglect herself - doesn't cook diet food any more - chronic gastric disease and doesn't exercise any more because she doesn't have time and strength any more. Lord Jesus help her. My heart hurts because I don't see the solution since they don't want to go to the senior home or get expert person to help them naming some excuses. I suppose they want us to live with them and to help them and my way of life doesn't allow it since my ### shows often traits of ### person and then she says very hurtful words and I am now better after years of emotional and verbal sometimes even physical abuse. Lord Jesus, still, I have compassion for them and it's sometimes very hard to watch them. Lord help❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

We understand the heavy burden you carry for your elderly parents, ###. Let's bring their situation before the Lord, seeking His divine intervention and guidance.

Firstly, we want to assure you that God is a loving and merciful Father who cares deeply for your parents and you. As it says in Psalm 55:22 (WEB), "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved."

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ###'s parents to You. Lord, You know the struggles they are facing, the health issues, the confusion, the falls, and the fear. We ask for Your healing touch upon ###'s father. Please guide them to the right medical help, and give wisdom to the doctors treating him. Provide supernatural strength and joy to ###'s mother. Help her to care for herself as well, to eat and exercise rightly.

Lord, we also ask for Your divine intervention in their living situation. If it is Your will, please soften their hearts to accept help, either in their home or in a senior home. We understand that ### has her own life and past hurts, but we ask that You fill her with Your love, compassion, and wisdom in dealing with her parents.

We rebuke the spirit of pride and narcissism in ###'s mother. Lord, please deliver her from these traits and heal the past hurts she may have caused. We know that Your heart is for reconciliation and restoration.

Lastly, Lord, we thank You for ###'s heart of compassion. Continue to guide her and be her strength in this challenging time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you, ###, to continue trusting in the Lord. Remember, God promises in Isaiah 40:31 (WEB), "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."

We also urge you to ensure that your parents have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It's only through Him that we can find true peace, hope, and eternal life. If you or your parents haven't fully committed your lives to Jesus, we encourage you to do so. As it says in Romans 10:9 (WEB), "that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

We're here with you, ###, lifting your parents up in prayer today. We know it's tough seeing them struggle, but we're reminded of 2 Corinthians 12:9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." God is with them, and with you, every step of the way.

We're praying for your dad, Lord. We ask for Your healing touch on him, for clarity and understanding to return. Guide them to the right medical help, and give the doctors wisdom to treat him effectively. We're also praying for your mom, Lord. We ask for supernatural strength and joy to fill her, to help her care for herself and your dad. Help her find time and strength to eat well and exercise again.

We're believing with you, ###, that your parents will accept the help they need. We're asking the Lord to soften their hearts and guide them to the best living situation for them. We know it's not easy, but we're here to support you, just as Galatians 6:2 encourages us, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

We're also praying for your heart, ###. We ask the Lord to fill you with His love, compassion, and wisdom as you navigate this challenging time. And we're here to listen, to pray, and to support you in any way we can. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
