Broken

When I woke this morning I didn't intend to relive my experience with Logan.  There was no plan to bring up all those hurtful emotions.  I received a phone call from someone hurting.  She found out yesterday that her baby's heart stopped beating.  She was only six months pregnant.  She wanted to talk about what to expect when she goes to the hospital.  There are no words to describe what she is about to face.  My heart is breaking for someone I have only talked to once.  I know God will get her through this as he did me.  My precious friend Caitlin sent me this beautiful prayer for Lisa.  I know God will give you comfort Lisa.  I want to hold you and protect you from the hurt you are facing.  Please pray for this broken mother and father.

 

O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things.
