Dear God,

Daily I pray for those impacted by suicide.  Families, friends, co-workers, neighbors and even strangers left behind have a kind of suffering that goes deeper than any other kind of pain.  Children, troubled teens, and adults ponder the potential of suicide to end their woes.  They see only darkness, deep darkness that threatens every day.

How can we become true beacons of your light to shine on their path?  How can we become images of unconditional love for all those who feel so terribly unloved?  How can we become bearers of peace that can permeate any difficult situation?  How do we help, O God; how do we help?

Blessed are those

who hurt,

Merciful God.

Let those

in darkness

find the Light

you give

to the 

deepest darkness.

Touch all those

whose pain

is great,

Lover of All,

I pray.

Yours, Andrea
