she struggles now
she's broken
her health fails
her precious father just had a stroke
her brothers are so far away
her uncle just died yesterday
her grandmother is going senile and needs to be put in a home because her whole family is broken

she can't sleep though she's exhausted
and she has a million things to do
spinning thoughts
she's been crying
but she asks for prayer
she knows that there's answers though she might not understand
she still finds Joy
she still finds Peace
immeasurable. eternal.

i love her
my Sister

though we're separated by 7000 miles,
we prayed together over email, knowing that our little voices will be heard

***
...as Su is hurting and struggling through all of this, i ask for an extra measure of that good stuff for her. help her to really sense Your presence and not just get lost in the pain of these circumstances. please put people in her life to encourage her and to pray for her as she moves forward. give her hands to hold and shoulders to shed tears upon. help her to know that she is loved by me and her friends and her family--but most of all, help her to experience Your unfailing love. help her to know that Your love follows her as she drives to work, as she sits at her computer, as she eats her meals, as she talks on the phone, as she brushes her hair, as she lies in bed to sleep. give her the special grace that helps her to sleep. we are thankful because we know that You are our Provider and our Comforter.

we pray these things in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Beautiful Savior
Amen.

i love you darling Sujung. please let me know when's a good time to call.
