Your years are not a burden but a gift, and you are still known and loved by name. If you or your loved one would like prayer, you are welcome to reach out.
You are not carrying this alone
Whatever help you find, and we hope you find real help, you are also welcome to something the organizations above cannot give: a friend who has borne every burden. Jesus said, ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ You do not have to believe anything first, or pray a certain way, or clean yourself up. You can simply come, tell him the truth, and ask. If you would like someone to pray with you, ours is here.
