Please pray for me. I've got a lot going on and I'm feeling overwhelmed. My sister is moving away in two weeks. I got an appointment with my job coach on the 17th. I'm gonna get some dental work done. Where I go to Church every Sunday they are gonna do some major changes and my brother will be moving into a home soon (he has sever autism). None of these are bad things and I'm not complaining about them it just feels very overwhelming to me. Change is difficult for me to adapt to in the first place and all this feels to much and its a lot of big things and they seem to be happening all at once. So please pray that GOD help me to accept the changes because I want to accept them and I wanna respond calmly but that's very difficult for me to do. Also my Mom got a job which is a good thing but with my sister moving in two weeks that's gonna leave just me cleaning the house and taking care of my brother because my step-dad doesn't wanna do that. So I'm afraid that I won't even be able to go and see my job coach or get my teeth done or anything because I'll need to stay home to look after my brother. I don't mind watching my brother but I don't wanna become his mom which is basically what will happen once my sister has moved away. If I have to I'm prepared and will make a deal with my Mom that I will stay home every night and every day and clean the house and look after my brother and take care of everything without complaint or argument as long as I can go to Church and CR. And I'll basically become mom until my brother moves into a home and who knows when that will be. My Mom keeps putting that off. The sooner the better for him t move to a home because my step-dads rule is my brother must stay in his room all day and not to come out until its mealtime and even then my brother must be quiet the whole time. So please pray about all this. I don't wanna become mom I wanna see my job coach and get work and move out and that kinda thing. I'm not ready to be a mom yet but I will if I have to. So please keep all that in lots of prayer.
 
Jesus I pray for Jenney712 and the situation she is facing. Please let her know that she is not alone in this! Let your will be done in this situation in Jesus name Amen
 
Lord God, give Jenny the strength to work through this most difficult situation. I also pray for a special blessing on this family in need. In the precious name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior I pray. Amen.

You need your own space. Then place. You have trouble adapting to change because every 5 minutes the situation changes. Your brother needs his own space too, and that will come when he can go to a place where he feels loved. You need to do the same.
 
Huge hugs to you Jenny for always giving your trust and needs in Jesus to God.
You , your brother and all your family and needs are added to my prayers for you in Jesus's name.

Hugs and God bless

I think what you need to become is your brother's caretaker, not his mom. Work with your job coach to get whatever certification you need to be a caretaker, and to form an LLC, and involve him with your family in setting up rules about what you will and will not be doing for them as a caretaker. Make sure it includes time off, you need to have your own time. There's nothing wrong with taking care of family, but you need to also log the hours as work, so that when the time comes that you do need other employment you have an employment history and experience. Plus they'll have to pay you, but you can agree to return a fair portion of it back for food utilities and rent. And that way, when the time comes that you do need to pay food utilities and rent, you'll have a history and experience of paying those.

Should I fear that they take advantage of you, or is that a stupid question? Find an advocate, someone (in addition to your job coach) to keep an eye on what's gong on there.

Father God, I come before You with Jenny, ever grateful that we may come before You at all. I would call the situation to Your attention except I know You already know about it - and that You already have a plan. And so I pray Your Spirit gift Jenny with wisdom and discernment, and like wise her coaches and mentors, so that they may discern Your plan and make it so. Father set angels around her, and her family, that they may provide ministry and protect them from the enemy. Lord please protect Jenny, and her brother, that they may not be taken advantage of. Give her mom and step father those things they need to bring them to where they will step up to the plate and do the right thing. And bless her sister as she moves, keep her safe and may angels visit her to her new home. Lord God, families are in such a mess these days, love has grown cold and Godlessness abounds. But Your daughter Jenny has come here, to come to You, in faith that You will intercede and bring Your will to bear. And You said that but a mustard seed's worth of faith can move mountains. Honor her faith and move the mountains here my Lord. Lay them low to accord Your glory. Father, we come before You by the Blood of Your Son, shed that we may, and we lay this before You in His Name. Amen
 
Jenny, that is alot to have on your plate all at once!! Life can be difficult at times and we all need to make sacrifices sometimes. It's hard taking care of someone with severe health issues. Even more so when you're trying to live your own life and do your own commitments. But sometimes taking care of a family member who cant really take care of himself is a commitment that you or anyone must fulfill as well. I pray that your brother will be able to move to where he has someone specially trained in dealing with his type of disability so that some of the burden is taken off you and your parents. Turn all this burden over to Jesus--he can bear it far better than you can. Just remember, what you are doing for your brother, you are also doing for Jesus. :)

Lord, please be with Jenny as she faces this hardship right now. Ease her mind about going to the dentist, and having to cope with taking care of her brother for awhile. Guide her as to what she should do concerning all this. Help her brother move to a place where he can get 24-hour professional care. Soften her step-dad's heart so that he can chip in and help her out with taking care of the house. Give her strength and patience to deal with all this, and give her the courage to do what she must. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

 
Dear Lord Jesus, please help Jenny in getting the dental work and with finding a job and getting her own place. Help the step dad to be a loving parent to Jenny and her brother. Keep them safe from all harm wherever they may go. We praise you great God.
 
dearest LOrd we lift our sister JENNY up to you and all her needs she has asked of you to fulfill- I ask that you bring healing and comfort and peace and joy and stability into her life-HELP her to TRUST IN YOU WITH FULL HEART oh JESUS and help her to have strength in you and courage and KNOW that because of WHO LIVES INSIDE HER IS MORE THAT WHO LIVES IN THE WORLD THAT SHE CAN AND WILL OVERCOME IT ALL- In JESUS NAME amen amen amen
