Struggles with Family Dynamics

Things have been really challenging with my family lately. My wife and I are trying to navigate parenting our teenage daughter, who just turned 16 on September 10. Honestly, the communication barriers are tough, and it's like she's on a different planet half the time. We don't know what to do with the moods and the attitude, but we also want to be the kind of support that shows her we care. It's frustrating and heartbreaking to see her struggle, but then we find ourselves arguing more, too. Additionally, my mother has been showing signs of more serious health issues since turning 75 this past year. It's like every time I visit, she’s more forgetful or needing extra support, and I feel that weight. I want to help her, but I also fear losing her, and the stress sometimes spills over into other relationships. Can you pray for some peace and understanding in our family? For wisdom as we tackle these challenges together? I long for unity and compassion instead of conflict and confusion. We could really use God’s guiding light to help navigate this chaotic time.
