your bad mistakes and choices.

I recently came across a situation with a single mother of a 12 year old daughter. The two live together, the father is absent. The mother and her married neighbor decided to have an affair together. The married man moved away with his family to a new home they were saving up for.

For me, the hardest part of this story is that the single mother and the married man continue to meet and see each other in front of her 12 year old daughter. The daughter goes to school with his children, before he moved they would ride the bus together. Can you imagine the hurt, the anger and the betrayal this little 12 year old girl is feeling every day that she wakes up?

I immediately felt the sadness of the 12 year old daughter. I could feel it emanating so strongly from her. When I left her, I literally took some of it with me. It was so heavy, so sad and so unfortunate. How does she manage to get through the day without screaming, HELLLPPPP MEEE?!?!

I pray for this 12 year old girl who will be a woman one day. I can’t just share this story and forget about her. I have to pray for her, her mother and this married man daily, I must. God shows us situations every day that we unfortunately choose to ignore. However, when we make a decision to pray for change in these situations, we agree with God. Acknowledging that we know it’s wrong. God hears us and prayers get answered.

Lord, I am asking that you end this relationship. I ask that every person mentioned today is able to ask you for help and forgiveness. Speak to them Lord, move them and help them see their situation is hurting not only your Kingdom but the hearts within this world as well. May you raise up this child so she can breathe again and be free of the damaging effects of the affair. Remove the lies, the secrets and the unholiness of her current situation. We love you God and we are grateful that you love us. Please forgive us for our transgressions. In Jesus’s name we pray…Amen!

Don’t think for one minute that God wastes time by sharing certain situations with you. It’s because God knows He can count on you to make a difference. No matter how big or small. So the next time you are presented with a situation you feel you can’t do anything about in the physical or natural. Just pray. You can’t even fathom the miracles happening in the Spiritual that may not be seen with earthly eyes.
