This is a serious prayer request for my special needs brother, Tom, who has severe autism. Because of the pandemic, family visits have been forbidden for two months at Tom's care center. This has really hurt my brother and has resulted in him becoming violent and hitting, kicking caregivers. Tom also has behavior involving self harm which includes wetting himself to the point where his skin is becoming red and fighting caregivers if they try to give him a shower and change of clothes. Please pray for God to work in the situation and that Tom would be okay. Also, even though some businesses may start to open up, Tom's care center may be closed for visits for a longer time, so pray for mercy that the care center could be opened for family visits sooner.

Lord have mercy on Tom. Let him feel your presence and grant him peace.

Any chance he could use a smart phone to communicate? You have my prayers for him and the family.

Heavenly Father, You know what is going on in Tom's heart and You know of all his special needs. Reach him at a time that no one from the outside is allowed to visit. I ask that You will fill the void in his heart and mind until family and friends are allowed to come in again. In the meantime, I ask that You will cover him and all the other residents and staff and keep them safe from the virus. I ask that You will get the virus under control so it will be safe to reopen Care Centers, and other needed facilities, In Jesus Name, Amen
