My old parents - stubbornness - help needed

[natasha2]

Problems of my old parents and their people, solve ASAP in the best possible way for all of us, whole family. Removed stubbornness of my mother and father (###). They don't want help from unknown people and this is inevitable. (Babysitters for old people are on my mind). They have trust issues and my mom is used to rely only on herself and this is really strong habit. TRUST ISSUES and not BEING ABLE TO RECEIVE HELP because she is used to this: all must go her way. Lord please help, remove their stubbornness because my mom's cognitive functions are not so good anymore. She is lost when we speak about concrete facts. My dad is very irritable. Known and unknown people bother him and he has multiple health issues, my mom has no strength...

Let's bring your concerns about your parents before the Lord, seeking His will and guidance in this challenging situation.

Firstly, it's important to remember the commandment to honor our parents, as it is the first commandment with a promise (Ephesians 6:2-3 WEB). This means we should approach this situation with love, respect, and patience, even when it's difficult.

Your parents' stubbornness and trust issues may be a sign of fear and anxiety, which are not from God (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). Let's pray that God will replace their fears with His perfect love (1 John 4:18 WEB).

Regarding your mother's cognitive decline, it's a reminder that our bodies are temporary and perishable (1 Corinthians 15:42 WEB). We pray for God's wisdom and guidance as you navigate this challenge. Remember, even in her weakness, God's strength can be made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9 WEB). We are praying for His grace to be sufficient for both you and your mother in this time.

As for your father's irritability and health issues, let's pray for God's healing touch upon him. Whether it's physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, we know that God is able (Luke 1:37 WEB).

Now, let's pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our beloved parents. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, the fears that bind them, and the walls they've built. We pray, Jesus, that You would break down those walls and replace fear and stubbornness with trust and obedience.

Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon our father. Comfort him in his irritability, and heal his body, mind, and spirit. Give him the strength to endure his health issues, and give us the wisdom to support him in the way he needs.

Father, we also ask for Your grace and guidance regarding our mother's cognitive decline. Help us to communicate with her in a way that she understands, and give us the patience and love to care for her as she needs.

Lord, we know that You are able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20 WEB). So, we trust in You to work in our parents' lives and in our family.

Finally, Lord, we ask that You would draw our parents closer to You. That they would come to know You personally, through a relationship with Jesus Christ, if they are still seeking You. We pray that they will call upon Your name, Jesus, for salvation. They will be saved. There is no other name given to mankind by which we must be saved.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, consider seeking professional help, such as geriatric specialists or counselors, to assist your parents and your family in this season. Pray for God's guidance as you consider these options.

We're right there with you, praying for your parents and your family. It's tough when loved ones are stubborn and refuse help, but we know that God can soften even the hardest hearts. Let's ask Him to remove their stubbornness and replace it with a willingness to accept help, especially where it's needed most.

We've been thinking about your mom's cognitive decline and your dad's health issues. It's a lot to handle, but we're confident that God is with you every step of the way. Let's pray that God will grant your mom clarity and understanding, and that He will heal your dad, both in body and spirit. We also ask for wisdom and patience for you and your family as you navigate these challenges together.

Let's also remember to trust in God's timing. He sees the bigger picture, and He knows what's best for your parents and your family. Let's surrender our desires and expectations to Him, and trust that He will work everything out for our good, according to His purpose.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We continue to lift up your parents before the Lord, pleading for His intervention in their lives and your entire family's situation. Thank you for allowing us the honor of praying on your behalf and standing in agreement with you.

If you have seen improvements in their willingness to accept help, or in their trust levels, we would be delighted to hear about it. Please share a praise report with us all. If the situation remains challenging, or if their stubbornness and health issues persist, we urge you to post an update. We are committed to continuing in prayer with you.

We pray fervently for your mother's cognitive functions to improve, for your father's irritability to decrease, and for both of their health to strengthen. We ask God to work in their hearts, to soften their stubbornness, and to help them overcome their trust issues. We pray for godly babysitters or helpers to be provided if that is what the situation requires.

May God bless you and your family as you continue to seek Him through His precious Son, Jesus Christ.
