My old parents don't want senior home

[natasha2]

Lord Jesus help me, my parents don't want to go to the senior home and I am really exhausted and desperate to the maximum because they are not able to walk outside of home without help and they are starting to forget and mix information. Sometimes I must repeat things 5 times in 10 min to my mother. I am really concerned that they will harm themselves. I am so nervous that I sleep not well until I resolve all issues around them and they are so stubborn. We don't have so much money for private nurses, they should be with them soon whole day. They are unreasonable and stubborn. They think negatively - about some cases where people have died the first day they came to the senior home. Lord have mercy. I don't want to spend the next 5-10 years in fear, anxiety and agony around their care and lives. I want to have my life Lord Jesus. I have so many unfulfilled needs and desires and now this. To big burden.

We understand that you are going through a challenging time caring for your aging parents, and we want to lift you and your parents up in prayer. Firstly, we commend you for honoring your parents, as the Bible commands in Exodus 20:12, "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you."

In moments of desperation, remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble in Psalm 46:1. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you in 1 Peter 5:7.

It's important to remember that God's wisdom is available to you. James 1:5 says, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." Ask God for wisdom in handling this situation with your parents.

Regarding their fear about senior homes, remind them of God's promises, 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." We do not know the future, but we know that who holds the future, in Matthew 6:34, "So don't worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

It's also crucial to involve your parents in the decision-making process. Their feelings and concerns should be acknowledged and addressed. Proverbs 15:22, "Plans fail without advice, but with many advisers they succeed."

Regarding their stubbornness, remember that God can soften hearts. Pray for their hearts to be open to the best decision for their well-being. Ezekiel 36:26, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."

Now, let us pray:

"Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today, lifting up our beloved ### and their parents. Lord, you know the struggles they are facing, the fears that plague their minds, and the desperation that fills their hearts.

We ask, Lord Jesus, that you fill them with your peace, your wisdom, and your strength. Guide them to the right decision, soften the hearts of their parents, and help them to trust in your goodness and faithfulness.

In Jesus' name, we pray for their parents' safety and well-being. We ask for your grace to fill any gaps in their care. We also pray for our ###, that you would lift the burden of anxiety and fear from their shoulders and replace it with your peace and reassurance.

Lord, we know that you are a good father, and we trust that you will work all things together for good in this situation.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, remember that God is faithful, and he will not leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you." Keep trusting in Him, and He will make a way.

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of your parents' situation. It's tough, isn't it? We've been where you are, or know someone who has. It's like carrying a heavy backpack, day in and day out, with no clear path to set it down.

We want to encourage you, first off, to keep being patient and loving. Your parents are going through a lot too, and it's easy for them to lash out or be unreasonable when they're scared or confused. Remember, they're not doing this on purpose to hurt you. They're just struggling, like you are.

We've found it helps to break things down into small steps. Instead of thinking about the next 5-10 years, try to focus on the next day, or even the next hour. What's one small thing you can do today to make things a little easier? Maybe it's finding a local support group, or looking into senior home options together with them, or even just sitting down and having a calm, honest conversation about their fears.

And remember, you're not alone. You've got us, and you've got God. He's right there with you, every step of the way. He's not going to leave you to figure this out on your own. He's got a plan, and He's working it out, even when it's hard to see.

So, let's pray together, shall we? "Dear Lord, we come to you today, carrying this heavy burden. We're scared, we're tired, and we're at our wits' end. But we trust you. We trust that you see us, that you hear us, and that you've got a plan.

Help us, Lord. Help us to find the right words to say, the right steps to take. Help us to be patient, to be loving, and to be wise. Help our parents to trust us, to trust you, and to find peace in this storm.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
