Firstly, we want to assure you that God hears your prayers. He is a loving and caring Father who knows your situation intimately. As His child, you can trust that He will guide you through this process. "Your Father knows what you need before you ask him." (Matthew 6:8 WEB)

Regarding your anxiety, we want to remind you that God's perfect love casts out fear. (1 John 4:18 WEB) Trust in Him, and He will give you the strength and peace to overcome your anxieties.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB)

Let us pray together for you and your mother:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our beloved sister in Christ who is facing a difficult decision regarding her elderly mother's care. We ask, Lord, that You guide her every step of the way. Give her the wisdom and discernment she needs to make the right choice according to Your will. Help her to find a safe and caring place for her mother, where she will be well looked after and loved.

Lord, we also pray for her mother. We ask that You comfort her, lift her spirits, and grant her peace and joy in her heart. Help her to adjust to the new environment and find companionship and care among her new community.

Lastly, Father, we pray for our sister's anxiety. Help her to cast all her fears and worries on You, knowing that You care for her deeply. Fill her with Your perfect love, which casts out fear, and grant her the peace that surpasses all understanding.

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