Will You Pray with Me?

My dearest Stacey sent me this email newsletter from International Justice Mission, a faith-based organization working for justice across the world, and specifically in Zambia. This month's "From the Field" report tells the story of a seven year-old girl who has Down syndrome and was recently raped by a neighbor here in Lusaka.

Please read the full story here... http://www.ijm.org/main/ijmfromthefield-may2010,
then pray with me

O Lord, be who You say You are to this little girl, and to her family. Be the One to bring good news to them. Be the One to bind up their broken hearts. Be the One to proclaim liberty instead of captivity. Be the One to open the prison doors of these that are bound in oppression. Be the One to proclaim favor unto them. Be the One to promise the coming of a day of vengeance for evil and comfort for the mourning.

Give them a a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit.
Isaiah 61:3

And o Lord, bring justice. Do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more (Psalm 10:18).

Even when it doesn't make sense- we trust Your sovereignty still, and know that you will be glorified in the end of this. Even if the end is far off, we trust that You will not let injustice go unaccounted or unpunished. And even when our hearts break, we say You are good- worthy of honor and blessing.
