Been having a lot of struggles with one of my special needs kiddos and I am worn, (almost completely) out.
Everyday is harder and harder for me to get up and start, knowing that I will be facing the challenges, often with little to no sleep, and having to care for others on top of this.

I will pray for God to address this situation. I had a bit of a struggle too caring for my sick late second wife. Very little sleep. Still had to go to work too. I can relate to your post.

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31

Father,
How grateful we are that we have a God who is not distant and unfeeling, but One who is a near and present help.
You are He who spoke and light did appear. You stretched forth your arm and placed all the stars in their courses. You know each by name. If you would so intimately relate to your creation, how much more will you attend to those you have made your own. Be pleased, Father, to graciously attend to Godsgirl1983 in her time of distress. Make known to her more of the riches that are hers in Christ Jesus. She has passed walking and running, and is in need of your supernatural care. Grant her, Father, what you alone can give. And in doing so, commend to her afresh your great affection you have for her, and your commitment to never leave or forsake her. And may it redound to her great good, and to the glory of Thy great name.
Amen.

Feel better sister.

Praying God gives you the strength and peace to handle each day’s struggles.

Be blessed.

Can you call for a respite service?
Sometimes some churches will have a program to help parents of special needs take a break for a weekend or an evening. Just saying....

Lord help Godsgirl and give her the rest and comfort she needs at this time, we know how exhausting special needs kids can be. Send her whatver helpers you can her way and the strength to get through this hard time.

Sometimes all kids need is just a hug and your arms can stretch out still.
