Dear (Jyl) Miller:
You're very kind, yourself. I can sense your compassion & empathy for Justyourlaugh. You're a good friend to her; I pray that she'll sense love from you as well as from God (even He knows that we also need connections with others.
Father God, I come to You with thanks that you enable us to love others, even others who we don't really know face to face. I thank you for the lives of those who reach out to each other through this message board. I thank you especially for Miller & for her gentle heart & her way of touching the lives of others who are hurting. I ask you to grow that gift in her, that Your love would flow through her effortlessly, & that she would not be drained as she gives of herself, but that she would be renewed & refreshed as she reaches out to others; enable her to be blessed as she blesses.
I ask that Your hand of mercy be upon Justyourlaugh. You alone know the depth of her pain; You alone can meet her at the point of her need. I ask that she would sense Your presense, Your protection, Your guidance & Your strength. Keep her safe from the evil one. Hold her close, give her security, & let her see herself as You see her, with eyes of love, self-acceptance, & peace. Let her become grounded in You, so that her life might blossom into the fulfillment & purposefulness you designed for her. I give You all praise & glory for the way in which You alone can transform lives from ashes into beauty!
In the Name of Jesus, amen.
