Repeating a Prayer Request From February

Back on February 5, I asked for prayers for a friend who was becoming overwhelmed with family and loved ones and growing caregiving issues added to normal daily stress. I'm just going to paste it right here, again, because I can't say it any better than I did back then. It is getting worse, plus her own physical limits are increasing, lots of undiagnosed pain, troubles with her hands and fingers when crocheting, and more... please, say a few wee prayers for her?

Prayers, Please, for a Friend Overwhelmed with Caregiving!

Sometimes it's not only those who are ill who need our prayers. 

A very dear friend of mine, not much younger than I, is both emotionally and physically overwhelmed with worry and caregiving, in various degrees, with 3 men in her life - her hubby, and two adult sons. 

Between actual caregiving, and trying to help one son navigate financial issues because of an on-site job accident for which the disability ran out and he's still unable to function at full capacity, another son who is a end-stage cancer in another state and that breaks her heart, and her beloved hubby with several physical issues they are dealing with and running back and forth to specialists, I don't know how she is holding on.

She loves her family so much so in each case she is trying to help in many different ways.

Sweet Lord Jesus, you know what it's like to be overwhelmed with worry. Please look upon this woman with compassion and give her the strength to get through each of these situations. Heal those who need it, resolve issues where needed, and assist her in any way possible. Jesus, we trust in you!
