Beloved of All
Prayer request for my mom and my relationship. We want to understand each other and just when there seems to be breakthrough it’s a big misunderstanding around the corner. I’m so frustrated. I mean I tried to gently tell her something that I needed and instead of trying to understand she said I was being petty as if I was only picking on her. I don’t know how much more she or I can take. I really don’t want to do this anymore, but I know it’s required to obey your parents. I don’t know what to do anymore. We try Bible study together; but even through that she keeps making negative remarks. It’s probably due to her illness too. Which I have compassion for, but it’s very tiresome and seems like it’s never going to get better on both ends. I can’t meet her needs and she probably is fed up because she doesn’t know what to do and doesn’t feel good. I’m kinda set in my ways, so I guess pray for me on that sin because change is hard and it is constant. It really takes a lot of courage and strength for me to try and talk to her the right way and still she is mad. And I’m sure the sentiment is mutual on her end. Lord helps us because I don’t want to do this anymore. I can’t live in this hostile environment.
