As some of you know, she is back on the mental facility. She has stopped taking calls and tried to escape around 4am this morning. She refused to take her medication and is becoming extremely argumentative with the care team. She was in with a roommate and was so argumentative towards here that they had to remove my sister into a room by herself. My sister is not a big woman but it took 3 EMT’s to removed her from her couch to the ambulance. My concern is she will become increasingly combative and violent. She told her husband that Jesus accepted her into Heaven so there is fear of another suicide attempt. Please pray for this situation if you think about it. We are all exhausted and worried.

Thank you! :praying:

Very sorry for you and your family, I pray for swift healing and fully recovery body, mind and spirit - for your sister, in the powerful name of Jesus.

Our Father in heaven,

We seek you in prayer for Michie's sister. May You grant her recovery of the mind, body and soul. Protect her from intrusive thoughts and in times of anger calm her temperaments. We ask for an abundance of grace and blessings to be upon the family as well as they navigate this together. May You also grant the doctors and caretakers wisdom and clarity in their tasks.

In the name of Christ Jesus we claim, Amen.

Dear Lord,
Please help the doctors who are treating Michie’s sister get to the bottom of this mental illness, whatever it may be. As You commanded us not to worry in Matthew 6, I pray for Your strength for this family, that they may be able to follow Your command in the face of this darkness. Help all involved to see Michie’s sister as You see her.
In Christ’s Name, Amen.

Schizophrenic and manic depressive. Her brain has shrunk 25% because of the stress of the illness.

That's sad to hear sister. I know it must be heartbreaking and stressful at the same time. In all these please do not forget about your own wellbeing as well. Stay strong and steadfast.

May you find rest and joy in the Lord and may the Lord bless you and your family in these trying times.

Ah, Mitchie that can be a difficult road. I have a brother with Schizophrenia. He has been institutionalized for years. He is doing very well on his current medications, and lives in a group setting. He comes over and mows my lawn several times a month. He told me a month ago that it took a very long time for him to even accept he was ill. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, for comfort for all involved. God can heal or today there are very good meds, but it takes time.
Blessings to you Mitchie.
