> " Heavenly Father, I pray right now for this woman. You see the anguish and the pain in her heart. Lord, it is too much for her to carry. She is crying out to you to deliver her from this pit. I pray right now, that you would begin to lift this depression/oppression from her. That you would FILL HER HEART and mind with HOPE AND PEACE and JOY. I pray that you would remove ANY attack over her mind that is causing her to feel hopeless or worthless. I pray right now that she would begin to see hope in this situation. She would cling to you through this and get to know you in a new and more intimate way.
> I pray that you give her family patience, compassion, and understanding as she walks through this. That you would protect her family from any harm or division that might come to try and destroy this marriage and family.
> Be with her now in a way that only YOU can be. Wrap your loving arms around your daughter and let her know that you are indeed there, that you have seen her tears, heard her prayers, adn you will answer her cries. Thank you Lord for being so faithful to us and being so good to us despite ourselves. Amen."

> I don't know where you are in your faith but I wanted to share a verse with you that meant so much to me when I was walking where you are:
>
> " I will care for my survivors as they travel through the wilderness. I will again come to give rest to my people. Long ago the Lord spoke and said, " I have loved you with an everlasting love. With an unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. I WILL REBUILD YOU. YOU WILL AGAIN BE HAPPY AND DANCE MERRILY WITH TAMBOURINES." Jeremiah 31

> I don't know why God often requires us to walk THROUGH the wilderness like He does, but trust me when I tell you, He won't leave you there. He will get you safely to the other side. You will look back on it and see how you survived it because of His faithfulness and it will be a testimony of God's goodness.

> Keep hanging on and don't give up hope! Nothing is too big for God.Spriggy, thank you so much for this heartfelt prayer for me. I have already read it many times over. There is a conviction in your words that I am in great need of. It is there through out the whole post, but I felt it most particularly in your lines near the end where you speak of your sureness that God will not leave me in this terrifying wilderness, that He will get me safely to the other side.
Yes, I have never ever felt the depth of darkness, terror and hopelessness that I am consumed with now. But your words are a comfort and a great reminder. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide that for me.
With love,
Nomi
