Seeking Unity in Family Conflicts

I've been carrying a heavy heart lately with everything that’s been happening in my family. My daughter, Lily, is struggling with her teenage anxieties, and as much as I try to support her, I feel powerless. She's been isolating herself more and it's been hard to reach her. I just want her to know she’s loved and safe, but I'm not sure what to say anymore. She could really use some prayers for strength and clarity. On top of that, my parents are facing their own challenges. It's been emotional watching them age and dealing with their health issues. My dad is having surgery on Thursday, and honestly, I’m scared. I know it’s a routine procedure, but with everything going on, it feels overwhelming. Plus, there’s been some tension between my siblings and me regarding how to manage their care, which isn't helping matters. I’m hoping for unity as we navigate these decisions together and that we can come together as a family. I really appreciate any prayers for wisdom, patience, and understanding. My hope is that somehow we can find peace and strength in each other and that we'll be able to support Lily and my parents as they need it. Thank you.
