Ah, yes, I have terrible money woes, I whine and fret, work hard and scrape. I am lucky I need little sleep.
Yet today, an acquaintance, a mother, daughter, sister, auntie, friend, ex-wife...decided she'd had enough, and she took her own life in front of her young daughter. She was only in her early years.
I would like to ask for prayer for her, for her daughter, and for those who will miss her and feel this loss. I had only met her once, but she was a friend of others close to me, and it's important to ask God's hands, peace, and comfort on those who remain, as well as on Tiffany's soul.
I recognize I have struggles...we all do...you do. These struggles are sometimes more weighty than others know. Sometimes more than we think we can handle.
NOTHING can make me think I'd go this far. I pray for each of you- if you feel desolate, please let me know. I will reach out to you and help in any way I can. Life is short and precious, and when that desperation sinks in, it's difficult to find the small, quiet remaining beam of light- I know...but I will help as best I can!! I have a love for everyone, and I know it's sometimes the shoulder of a stranger that is the strongest. Be that shoulder to someone if you don't need it yourself. Know that I will find joy in offering my shoulder if you need it.
Know this. There are others like me who care. Please ask for a moment of someone's time. If you don't need that moment, please be the moment someone else needs.
Lord God, Heavenly Father who loves us each with a depth we can not fathom, please hear the voices of each of us in unison as one and wrap Your loving arms around Tiffany, welcome her into Your precious flock, and breathe the wind of warm comfort and love thick with peace into the ones she left behind. Please give her family the comfort only You can offer, and let her daughter know that her mother still loves her and is with her always. Please let that little girl know not one second of pain or guilt for these actions, and protect her from the evils of negativity that will surround her because of this.
We know Your power, Your strength, Your love and Your grace, and we thank You for all. In Jesus' name we pray for this, Amen.
