Please pray for my poor unfortunate sister

[Raccoon1010]

My sister has schizophrenia that is not able to be treated with normal medicines. She is in a childish state. My father was abusive physically against members of our family as children growing up. He also was a womanizer and cheated on my dear sweet mother who was the anchor for us emotionally. She has developed MERCA and is biting her fingers until they bleed. Which is a problem. She is in an unfortunate situation that is not within her control. My father is old and I'm not sure how long before he leaves this world from old age. He has become what I think might be a mentally declining state which I thought was over the course of years and years as I look back. Some would say he is not verbally abusive. I don't like they way he treats my sister when I bring her over for visits. He makes jokes that are bitter and he thinks he's being funny. I am concerned that her nail biting is being caused from stresses in her living situation which is assisted living and also from other influences like my father. She has expressed frustration from both her living condition and our father's verbal communication.

I pray that God can reach out to her and heal her from her illnesses. She needs comfort from our Lord and God. Thank You.

Much love to you and your sister, there are some things in life that are difficult to understand and the suffering within seems so very wrong. Peace may not come in this life time for some of those we love, but I believe it will come in the next - your sister, my sister in law will be as they should be xxxxxxx

So sorry for your sister Dev, happy that you are there for her and I will pray for her now, and you brother. Very tough situation. Also praying for a softened heart and eyes to see for your father.

I feel sad for your sister. I’m an anxious person. It’s gotten a lot better mostly because of reading His word but I get how hard it is to stop doing anxious behaviors. I’m sure your sister doesn’t like the biting of her nails but doing it out of anxiety, so I feel bad for her continuing to do this that is harming her and causing you to worry for her. I’ll pray Devin but to be honest I don’t pray as I should because I loose hope that God will miraculously make her stop biting her nails just because I pray for it, and for your father to stop his bitterness. Mostly it’s seeing so many that need help. Even in my family.

 

[ShineTheLight]

I pray for your sister to be helped by the power of God in every way that he will. I pray for healing for her on the things she had to endure. I pray for her deliverance and that she may find peace from Christ.

Dev, maybe you can take your sister out to a park or something pleasant that she likes?

That might possibly help her...to get her away from things that make her stressed.

A pleasant idea…a break from the heavy stress. Devin, could it help to try other ways for her to relieve her stress other than biting her nails? Our granddaughter use to bite her shirts or chew on the collars of them and would always make holes in them. Her mother would get aggravated because it appeared she was intent on putting holes in the collar of all her shirts…until her mother read it was an action used to relieve stress…the biting action. I get you didn’t ask for input on ideas but in feeling bad for your sister making sores which did I understand the sores get MERCA in them? If I understand correctly then it would be hard to treat the sores directly with creams to heal the MERCA because then with her still bitting her nails, she will get the creams in her mouth? With our granddaughters bitting …there are necklaces for nervous bitting online a person can chew on to relieve stress. Thankfully our granddaughter outgrew it. I’m not meaning to offend you or interfere with prayers…just concerned for your sister.

Thanks @VictoryinJesus. I did try to suggest to her some other healthy what they would call "habits" like color books and other activities she can get consumed with that are not potentially damaging to her health. I did see red areas on her fingers and also she has had infections at the nail site that the doctor treated with anti-biotics. Suggestions that are healthy are welcome!

What I read is the the act of biting on something where the action then releases the stress. Giving her something to gnaw like the necklace with a safe option to bite down on to relieve the tension maybe could help. Our oldest daughter eats celery. She says it helps with stress so I notice when she is stressed she chomps on a stick. Weird I know. I hate celery. At least now I know what to pray for. I’ll pray you are given insight to ways to help her with stress. It not being a one size fits all but I hope you and your sister find what helps her personally.

Thank you for your welcome advice, I do remember chewing gum as a child. It can keep the body busy perhaps. I will ask God for direction in attempting to help my sister.

I still believe God is the best counselor there is. A long time ago I was praying for God to help with my staying in the MRI machine. It’s always over two hours and hard to do. It had grown impossible for me to stay in it. I have MRI’s more than I should because of the MS. In prayer God …I do believe it was Him…He showed me an airplane. I’ve never flown and I’ve never even considered getting on an airplane. The thought having never crossed my mind. I’ve only been in my state of North Carolina and drove to South Carolina for vacation. Believe it or not the following day a friend I hadn’t spoke in years, she called me and as we caught Up… she presented an idea …I had mentioned nothing to her about the prayer the night before..she asked if I would come to California to stay for a visit. Her voicing how we need to reconnect. Her begging me to fly out to stay with her. In the forty five years I’d lived I had never had anyone ask me to get on a plane. It was hard to take it as random, her asking this one question the next day. For a week I labored over if I should try. I became so worried …seeing being stuck in the air with no exit, no way out that I was consumed with the idea of trying to overcome this now bigger fear than an MRI. I didn’t go. But when the time for the MRI came I noticed I wasn’t stressed or afraid. Somehow focusing on something bigger has leveled my fear of the MRI. it suddenly seemed small. I then saw it had a way out. I wasn’t stuck and could ask to get out anytime. This also helped my panic attacks of eating in restaurants or being at the back of stores needing to stay close always to the exit doors. It all stopped, the feeling of being trapped in crowded rooms. I then could go places where I ended up sandwiched in with others. Somehow also seeing how big God is compared to me …seeing He is capable when I am small…it really changed a lot. I’m sharing this with you because I may not pray as I should …but I do believe God can counsel you and your sister and comfort you both in the way He sees is best for you both. I do have Faith in His Counseling abilities to guide you. I do think He can guide you on helping your sister as well as any counselor even better since He knows what we need. If He helps with one small shift in your perspective or your sisters…I’m only saying that small shift could help change a lot.

Hello, dear brother Dev. Praying that the good Lord above might find something special for your sister to do—something where she could give of herself. I think this could make her feel needed and give her a purpose.

You know, Father. Thank you for hearing our prayers in Jesus’ most precious name.

That sounds wonderful. Disabled people have purpose in life given them like all of God's children. I pray they never forget that and cling to God for their purpose and salvation.
