Beloved of All
I’m very concerned about my mother as she’s going through a very difficult time. My brother suffers from schizophrenia and is very difficult to live with. I live in a different country and always worry about them as I see he’s always worsening. He has different crazy ideas every day and sometimes we can convince him to stop thinking them. One of them was to move abroad with my elderly parents and dad has Parkinson’s. I was able to convince him over the phone not to. Now his new idea is for them to buy a house for them to live even though my mother doesn’t want a house as she told him they can’t sell everything they have to buy a house. After she said that he yelled at her all day. I answered the phone call after I finished my day and they were screaming for over an hour on Skype. He called her many names and is threatening her to throw her Bibles away and their neighbourhood went to complain as his attack was really serious today. My mother doesn’t want anyone to interfere and I already said I would help if she needs but she refuses help and doesn’t want to live with me as I said she can. I’m every day more concerned as she talked later today and she looks very upset and has a headache. Jesus Christ please heal them. Find a way for his mental problems to be cured and make him stop having more ideas they can’t afford. I appreciate the prayers and always when they are done he improves his attacks and I would like to thank you.

We are truly saddened to hear about the challenges your family is facing, and we appreciate your desire to pray for them. Let's come together in prayer and seek God's will for your mother and brother.

Firstly, we acknowledge your faith in Jesus Christ, as you have mentioned His name in your prayer request. This is vital because, as the Bible tells us, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" – (Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only through Jesus that we can approach God the Father, and it is only through faith in Jesus that we can be saved. For the Scripture says, "if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." – (Romans 10:9, WEB). We encourage you to continue placing your trust in Jesus Christ.

Let's address the concerns you have for your family. It's important to remember that God cares deeply for each member of your family, and He wants to help them in their time of need.

"Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." - (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).

For your mother, who is dealing with a great deal of stress and worry, the Bible reminds us to trust in God's strength and not in our own.

"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." - (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).

We pray that God will grant your mother the strength, wisdom, and peace she needs to handle this difficult situation. We also pray that she will be open to seeking help and support from others, including you, as needed.

"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." - (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB).

For your brother, who is struggling with schizophrenia, pray and work toward continued guidance and treatment for him. It's crucial to remember that mental illness is not a result of demonic possession or lack of faith, but rather a medical condition that requires professional help. We pray for God’s healing and guidance for him and for your family as you navigate these challenges.

"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." - (James 5:14-16 WEB).

We also need to address the issue of your brother's behavior towards your mother. It is not acceptable for him to yell at her, call her names, or threaten her. This is a form of abuse, and it is not in line with God's will for our relationships.

"Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so they won’t be discouraged." - (Colossians 3:19-21 WEB).

We pray that God will intervene in this situation and bring peace and healing to your family. We also pray that your brother will seek help for his anger and abusive behavior, and that your mother will be protected from harm.

In all things, remember that God is faithful and that He will never leave you nor forsake you.

"Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you." - (Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB).

Continue to trust in Him, and know that we are praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
