Confusion
I think if there weren't so many parts and pieces to this, I might not feel so overwhelmed. My mom gets so confused. I am not sure what is grief, what is cancer, what is dementia and even what else might be going on. She gets very anxious and that doesn't help. I just want to know how to help but it is hard when I am not even sure what will help.

"Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy." Ps 86:1
I cannot remember when I have felt so needy - not sure what to do, not even sure what I need let alone what my mom needs.

"Bring joy to your servant, O Lord, I lift up my soul." Ps 86:4
Yes, help me find joy in the midst of this difficult time. Help me to be aware of your presence, your love, your grace.

"Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth;" Ps 86:11
I don't know the way through this and am relying on God to show me the way. I just am so used to having a map and being in control. This day to day trusting is unsettling!!
