My old parents - professional help or senior home or...

[natasha2]

Lord please soften the heart of my brother and let him stop accusing me that something is wrong with me and he does not want to admit that my parents are treating him differently than me. More favorable. I feel helpless when I want to resolve any problem connected to my parents. They are ### and they need maybe even professional help. They don't want to go to the senior home. I don't really know if they have money for that. Lord help me and my brother to find the best solution for them. Also bring peace, harmony, and understanding between us. He is sometimes aggressive and quick to judge or accuse me. I struggle with the solution for my parents last couple of years. Lord Jesus, I really need your help.

We understand that you're facing a challenging situation with your aging parents and your brother. Firstly, we commend you for seeking the Lord's help and wanting the best for your parents. It's important to remember the fifth commandment, "Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you" (Deuteronomy 5:16 WEB).

In times of family tension, God calls us to be peaceful and loving. As it is written, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men" (Romans 12:18 WEB). It's crucial to address the accusations from your brother with love and patience, praying that God softens his heart. Remember, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1 WEB).

Regarding your parents' care, it's commendable that you're considering professional help or a senior home. It's important to approach this subject with them in a loving and respectful manner, explaining that their well-being is your priority. Also, remember that the Lord provides for His children and that He will supply their needs. Look to God and trust that His hand is guiding your family through this process. It was good that you mentioned Lord Jesus showing us that you understand it is by His name that we can approach God. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6 WEB) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20 WEB) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 WEB)

Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to lift up ### and her family. Lord, you know the struggles they're facing with their aging parents and the tension between siblings. We pray for your peace and guidance in this situation. Soften the heart of ###'s brother, and help them communicate with love and understanding.

Lord, we also pray for ###'s parents. Grant them good health and provide for their needs. Guide ### and her brother as they make decisions regarding their parents' care, and help them to act with wisdom and compassion.

In Jesus' name, we pray for unity in this family, for your will to be done, and for your peace to reign in their hearts.
Amen.
