Wow, Barbara, I wonder from your description if she brings a lot of her pain upon herself. And that just compounds the circle of hurt...
But the Lord knows the gentle way to reach a hurting heart and to make it stronger and heal, and then she herself will relax in her dealings with other people
Dear Lord, You know the child of whom Barbara speaks. I thank You that You have placed Barbara where she could befriend this woman. Lord, we lift both of them up to You, where You can bless with healing and guide their hearts so that they can be an encouragement to each other.
Lord, the Bible says that nothing is impossible with You. You are a big God and You know each heart and how to reach it. Please send Your Holy Spirit to touch this hurting woman. Sometimes in the midst of pain it is too difficult to see You or others or their kindness, or even want to.
Lord, You can put it in us to will and to do of Your good pleasure. You know what the answer is. I pray for this situation, that You may be glorified here
Thank you- in Jesus' name...
