To not react
I am caring for my elderly mother. I love her but sometimes she can wind me up for a reaction.
She won't do the most simple things to help herself, yet she wants to do things that are dangerous and she knows are not safe. She can be attention seeking.
When I get upset then cos she won't listen she can reprimand me
For a long time we got in much better but last few days she is being difficult. Pray I will not be reactive but let it go over be when she gets like this, distract myself with other things.
Also that she will consider her behaviour and be more compliant, and respectful towards me as she would be if there was a professional carer in charge. I know we are family but her working against me is non productive for us both.
May it not lead me into sin
Pray we will both grow spiritually and The Lord Jesus will be glorified.
Thank you

RE: To not react
I know how hard it is to care for the elderly who are family, and one that was terminal because they didn't want to go to a nursing homes. But hang in there they are not aware sometimes of what they say or are acting toward you, specially if they are taking some kind of medications that affects them that way.
Lord help this person taking care of their mother, give them your peace and the strength to help them through this
time. Help the mother to control herself from hurting the ones who loves her and are caring for her. I pray in the
merciful name of Jesus, Amen.
