Thank you for reaching out and sharing your heartfelt concerns about your mother and your own feelings of frustration. We appreciate your acknowledgment of Jesus and the need to become like little children to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Firstly, let's address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father. Remmber this scripture:
And in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12 WEB
Now, let's turn to your specific situation. It's natural to feel frustrated when caring for an aging parent, especially when their health declines. Remember, God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. When you feel frustrated, turn to God for renewed strength and patience.
But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 WEB
Your mother's childlike state can be a reminder of the humility and dependence on God.
Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 18:3-4 WEB
Let's pray together for both you and your mother:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear sister and her mother. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch on her mother, that You would grant her new life, healing, and revitalization. Help her to feel Your unfailing love and comfort.
Lord, we also pray for our sister who is caring for her mother. Grant her patience, understanding, and renewed strength. Help her to see her mother's childlike state as a reminder of the humility and dependence on You. Remove any frustration and replace it with Your peace and joy.
Father, we ask that You would bring revival and redemption to their lives. Draw them closer to You, and help them to experience Your love and grace in a deeper way.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. When you feel overwhelmed, cast your burdens on Him, for He cares for you.
God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB
Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22 WEB
Stay strong in the Lord, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He is the author and finisher of your faith, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
