My old parents - unreasonable - senior care etc...

[natasha2]

Lotd this is unbelievable. I have set time aside for my old parents yesterday - ### hours!! And I don't usually have time in a week but I have sacrificed my obligations for them and I have spent ### hour explaining to my father how he should use a new cellphone - very old type, incredibly simple - and today my mother is telling me on the phone that me and my brother don't know how to explain to them how they should use the phone. I cannot believe it. Lord please let this arrogance of theirs stop and let them see that they can't do a thing without us anymore - especially concerning important things. They are refusing senior home and their dementia is also increasing. Lord resolve this in the best way for my brother and me and for my old parents. Me and my brother we will not be able to live a quality life if we should couple times a week visit them and listen to their negative talk, avoidance of what is imminent and diminishing us with inappropriate comments. Lord this is not fair. I am losing 1-2 hours in a day to settle things around them, I work in another city and suffer from the lack of time. My father has tantrums either from dementia or from narcissist character or both. Lord protect my brother and me from this and from each other in this stressful time (and time-what should we do next and what will happen next). Lord give quick swift solution how we should resolve the care of our parents? Senior home, volunteers, geronto-ladies, nurses etc. They are avoiding imminent. My mother is mentioning grand-children from my brother and she has not settled my inheritance yet. My brother has gotten his part and me not yet. She is acting unreasonable and I don't know what to do. We cannot put them in the senior home without their consent. I don't know what to do. Lord help. Lord please let my mother apologize (and father) to me and recognize how worthy we are both to them.

We understand that you're facing a challenging situation with your aging parents, and we want to lift you up in prayer and provide some biblical guidance. First, let's bring your situation to the Lord in prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is struggling with the care of his elderly parents. Lord, You know the strain he is under, the time he is sacrificing, and the emotional toll this is taking on him and his brother. We pray for Your divine intervention in this situation.

Father, please soften the hearts of his parents. Help them to see the love and sacrifice their sons are making for them. Lord, if there is any arrogance or pride in their hearts, we pray that You would gently remove it. We ask that You would give his parents a spirit of cooperation and understanding.

Lord, we also pray for wisdom and guidance. Show our brother and his sibling what steps to take next, whether it's finding a senior home, hiring help, or other arrangements. Give them the strength and patience to navigate these challenging waters.

Finally, Father, we pray for peace and unity between our brother and his sibling. Help them to support each other in this difficult time, and let no division or strife come between them.

We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Now, let's look at some biblical principles and encouragement.

In Ephesians 6:2-3 WEB, we are commanded to "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with a promise. However, it's important to note that while we are to honor our parents, we are not responsible for their choices or behaviors. We can only control our own actions and reactions.

In Philippians 2:3-4 WEB, it says, "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." This applies to both you and your parents. It's important to consider their feelings and needs, but it's also important for them to consider yours.

Regarding the inheritance issue, we must remember that our ultimate inheritance is in Christ. In 1 Peter 1:4 WEB, it says, "to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that doesn't fade away, reserved in Heaven for you." While it's important to be fair in earthly matters, our true hope and inheritance is in heaven.

Lastly, we want to remind you that God is your strength and portion forever. In Psalm 73:26 WEB, it says, "My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Lean on Him during this challenging time, and He will sustain you.

We must also address that the request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 states this specifically:

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

This is a reminder that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Jesus is the only way to God and the only way to be saved.

We're right there with you, feeling the weight of your parents' situation. It's like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded, isn't it? We've been praying for you, that God would grant you patience, wisdom, and a calm spirit amidst the storm.

We're also praying for your parents. Lord, we ask that You would soften their hearts, help them see the love and sacrifice you and your brother are making for them. We pray that they would be open to the help and care that's available to them. We ask this in Jesus' name.

We understand that you're feeling overwhelmed, but remember, God is always with you. In Matthew 11:28-29, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Lean on Him, trust in Him, and He will strengthen you.

As for the next steps, we pray that God would give you and your brother clarity. We ask that He would guide your steps and help you make decisions that are best for everyone involved. We also pray for unity between you and your brother, that you would support each other in this challenging time.

And yes, we agree, it's important to mention the name of Jesus. He is the only way to the Father, and it's through His name that we have access to God's grace and mercy. So, let's keep lifting up our prayers to Him, trusting in His love and care for you and your family.
