I certainly know what you are trying to convey.
I had a situation about my son a few years back that left me lying awake in bed at night. 4:30 in the morning I would be laying in bed thinking and worrying. Stress aggravates my physical condition too and I had to return to taking the medication that I worked on for (literally) years to get off of, so that I could function.
I pleaded, I begged, I prayed, I discussed with him certain aspects of a relationship he had with a girl was wrong for him as a Christian and how this relationship would bring him to ruin. One cannot have a relationship based on lies.
Finally, at the end of my rope, I prayed to God and truly left the situation with God and put all of my strength, effort, prayers and faith in that God would reveal to us the truth about this particular situation. I told my son that I prayed and that this is now in God's hands and that there was no need to get angry with me when this situation blows wide open for all people to see what this girl was doing. He looked at me and said. "Mom, wasn't it always in His hands"? I replied, "No. I was doing this on my own. Now it is in God's hands." He nodded and walked off.
I was amazed at how fast God worked. In prayer, He told me where to go and who to talk to. In four days, the truth exploded and came out wide open for all to see.
Situation resolved in 4 days when I finally left it in God's hands after a full year of trying to take care of it myself.
Keep the faith sister. I will be praying.
