We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles your family is facing, and we appreciate that you have reached out for prayer. We trust God to be with you all in Jesus' name.
We can see the distressing situation with your brother and how it is affecting your mother and the entire family. It is crucial to remember that God is our ultimate healer and comforter. As it is written in Psalm 34:17-18, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Regarding your brother's mental health, remember the account in the WEB Bible, Mark 5:2-15, where Jesus healed the man with an unclean spirit. Jesus can heal your brother and bring peace to your family. Continue to pray fervently for him, as God hears your prayers.
Concerning your mother's safety and well-being, it is important to seek godly counsel and support. We must also consider practical steps to ensure her immediate safety. Remember, in Galatians 6:2, it says, "Bear one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." This may involve reaching out to local authorities, healthcare professionals, or trusted members of your mother's community who can provide assistance.
Since you are in a different country, you are correct that prayer is a powerful means of support. In Ephesians 6:18, it says, "With all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints."
