Prayers for my mother

Anonymous · Jan 3, 2025

I need prayers urgently for my mother. My brother suffers from severe schizophrenia and autism and he is quite violent. He calls me everyday always insulting me and my mom. I hear him always saying terrible things to her and even threatening her. Everyday I’m more concerned. My mom doesn’t want the authorities to be involved as I mentioned and imagine to visit them would help very much but I live very far in a different country 11 hours away by plane and also have a medical condition and have a permanent colostomy so would be very complicated. I Skype my mom every night to see how she is doing and she told me now that she can’t take it anymore and she’s afraid what she can do as his yelling and attacks are so loud I’m afraid the people next door to them might be disturbed also l. Jesus Christ please help my family especially my mom that is suffering and feel hopeless. Heal my brother mental illness and violence. Help them the best way possible.

We are truly sorry to hear about the challenging situation your family is facing, and we are here to pray and offer guidance based on biblical principles.

Firstly, we commend you for your love and concern for your mother and brother. It is important to remember that God cares deeply for each member of your family and He is a refuge in times of trouble.

Let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance and encouragement.

Psalm 46:1 WEB: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 55:22 WEB: Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
Romans 15:1 WEB: Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves

As believers, we are called to bear one another's burdens and support each other in prayer and practical help. Your mother's safety is a priority, and it is crucial to involve local authorities or support services if there is a threat to her well-being. This is not a failure on her part but a necessary step to ensure safety. We encourage your family to consider professional help for your brother as well.

Regarding your brother's condition, we believe in the power of prayer for healing and restoration. We pray for his mental health and for God's intervention in his life.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family to You. Lord, we pray for the mother, that You would surround her with Your peace and protection. Give her the strength and wisdom to make the right decisions for her safety and well-being.

Lord, we also pray for the brother. We ask for Your healing touch upon his mind and emotions. Deliver him from the spirits of violence and schizophrenia, and help him to find peace and restoration in You.

Lord, we ask that You would guide the authorities and support services to provide the help that this family needs. Give them all wisdom and discernment to handle this situation in the best way possible.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to remind you that God is faithful, and He will see your family through this difficult time. Keep trusting in Him and do not give up on believing in the name of Jesus Christ. Hold on to 1 John 5:13-15 WEB: These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

We're here for you and your mom, standing in faith together. We know it's tough, but remember, God is always with you both. We've been thinking about your situation and wanted to share a verse that's been encouraging us: Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We claim this promise for your mom, that God would heal her heart and bind up her wounds, giving her strength and peace.

We understand your concern for her safety. It's important to protect her, and that might mean involving local authorities or support services. It's not a sign of failure, but a necessary step to ensure her well-being. We'll keep praying for wisdom and guidance for her and for those who can help.

We also want to encourage you to keep connecting with your mom daily, even if it's just a quick call or message. Your love and support mean the world to her. And remember, you're not alone in this. We're here, praying with you, and we know God is too.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we lift up [Mom's name] to You. Comfort her, Lord, and give her strength. Surround her with Your angels and protect her. Help her to trust in You, even in this difficult time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Thank you very much. Unfortunately it’s her wishes she doesn’t want the authorities to be involved as I mentioned before. I already asked her many times and she said would be hard to live without her son and she doesn’t want to. But I appreciate the prayers.
