wow....

I really need prayer right now. Because when someone you love has been and still is being hurt by someone you thought you could trust...
What do you do?
How are you supposed to feel?
What reaction is ok for me as a Christian?
And then as a person that just plain cares?
My bad side wants to react in the worst way. I want to hurt back. Prayer just doesn't seem like enough when the hurt is continued. And effective. It's when things like this occur that I can understand why people wanna ask God "why".
No, I suppose we should never ask that question to the God of all creation who decides what happens and when.

Especially when the hurt is something He can understand.

Lord, please do something. Not just because I'm asking you, but because there are some very dear people that have been wounded deeply.
These people are Your children, Lord.
Your daughter. Who has children.
Won't You look upon them with love? Compassion? Gentleness? Mercy?
Please, Lord.
Fold them up close to You and Love on them, Lord. Wipe their tears.
There's a lot of them.
Hear the cry of the wounded and the hurting and grant them peace. Healing.
Amen.
