Sorry I haven't been on here in a while! I hope things are getting better for you and your mom! I wish I could get my own mother out of the environment she is in so she could possibly have more of a chance of changing her mindset. Just wanted you to know I'm still praying and to remind you that the Lord is able to change any heart and any mind in any condition <3 Sometimes, like children, all you can do (besides prayer of course) is let them fall... (sorry for the pun). There are verses you can show her to reassure her of her salvation. Acts 16:31, Romans 8:38-39, Romans 10:9-10, Philippians 3:4-11. I had an experience after one of my surgeries. When I woke up from the anesthesia I just felt so much love for the Lord. The part of a song "you unravel me with a melody you surround me with a song" was in my spirit. It made me think of how like when we are under anesthesia we don't have any control over our minds or bodies-kind of like when we get older and lose our minds and control of our bodies. But he has promised to never let go of our hand (Isaiah 41:10 and John 10:28-30) and when we wake up we will be in His presence <3
