I used to live in Kuwait till I was 9 with my mother and brother. I lost my father to an accident at the age of 7, my brother was only 5. In the blink of an eye, a family of four was reduced to three, a wife became a widow and a single working mother.
My brother, Abby, will be 27 years old this October. He is a juvenile diabetic and has autism. His only care takers are my mother and myself. He is on insulin 4 times a day and has his blood sugar monitored 6 times a day. All this again is only administered by my mother or myself. He needs round the clock attention.
So, yes, I do tend to get anxious once in a while! Life is tough, especially on my mom, but things could have been much worse. Here are a few verses and psalms that always give me comfort -
Isaiah 41:10 - fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 40:31 - but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Psalms - 23, 46, 91 & 121
