dealing with demons

Someone once told me that God doesn't give you more to deal with than you can handle. Ok, God, I'm done, then. The past week or so has been full of stressful situations that have brought me to my knees in prayer more times than once. The eldest has been having behavioral issues (again/still) at school and at home; bonus baby has been sick; hubby's company is in the midst of a layoff cycle, wherein his job is not in danger, but he's seen some very close friends lose their jobs, some of whom have worked for the ocmpany for close to 20 years; I've hit a few hard walls in terms of my limitations as a parent; my grandparents are ailing; we're back to being in a financial crunch; and my brother is going through a major overhaul of his life. I think that's quite enough.

My brother is at the forefront of my thoughts right now though. It's a very crucial time for him and I just hope and pray that he is able to find the strength to make the changes he so desperately wants to make. I'm hoping that with the support of my parents, he's going to overcome his issues.
