We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you and your brother are facing. Let us first come together in prayer for your brother and your situation.
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your divine intervention in the life of Xoratar's brother. Lord, you know the struggles he is facing with schizophrenia and substance use disorder. We pray that You would bring healing and restoration to his mind and body. Help him to understand and accept the reality of your mother's passing and his current situation. We ask that You would soften his heart and open his mind to receive the help that is being offered to him.
We also lift up Xoratar, who is feeling overwhelmed and helpless. Lord, please comfort them and guide them to the right resources and people who can assist their brother. Give them the strength and wisdom they need to navigate this difficult time. We claim the promise in your word that says, 'Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.' Matthew 11:28-30 WEB.
Lastly, Lord, we pray for a hedge of protection around Xoratar and their brother. We rebuke any spirit of addiction, mental illness, and confusion in Jesus' name. We ask that You would bring peace, clarity, and a sound mind to their brother. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Xoratar, it is important to remember that God is with you both in this difficult time. He cares for you and your brother deeply. We encourage you to continue seeking help for your brother, even when it feels overwhelming. God promises in Isaiah 41:10 WEB, "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."
It is also crucial to remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God and be saved. If your brother has not yet accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, we encourage you to share the good news with him. Jesus said in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Regarding your brother's refusal to transfer his insurance, we encourage you to be patient and persistent. perhaps you can involve a social worker or a case manager who can help explain the situation to him and guide him through the process. Also, consider reaching out to local churches and Christian ministries in your area that may offer support and resources for individuals struggling with mental illness and homelessness.
Lastly, remember to take care of yourself as well. It is easy to become consumed with helping others, but it is important to ensure that you are physically, emotionally, and spiritually healthy. Lean on God's strength and the support of your Christian community during this time.
We will continue to pray for you and your brother, trusting that God will bring healing, restoration, and provision to your situation.
