Precious sister, your prayers have not been in vain! Many times over the past seven years I have made my requests known here among the doves. Sometimes they have been very simple, as the Lord knows what our needs are before we even ask Him. Other times I feel led to include a bit more detail so others will know how to pray specifically, especially in times of increased warfare. Sometimes we know not how to pray, and that is when the Holy Spirit intercedes for us, with groanings and utterances we do not know.
   I know exactly how you feel, and I'm sure many doves share your feelings. I have been through similar situations, and it seems as if we overcome one obstacle in life just to have another greater one looming in the distance. Many Christians live lives of relative comfort and ease and know nothing of the suffering and chaos that you are now going through, and it is hard for them to relate. The cry from your heart has really touched me today, as I do know firsthand what you are feeling. This too will pass, as the Lord gives us grace to continue, but many times I find myself crying out to the Lord also, "When, Lord, when?"
    Lord Jesus, I pray that you will provide the peace, comfort, and contentment to our sister Karen, that only you can give. I pray for Karen, her children, her husband, that you will restore the brokeness, that you will meet all their needs. I pray that you will reassure Karen that she and her family are far more important to you than the sparrows of the air or the lilies of the field, and that you know the heartache and pain that she is going through. I ask that you give her the supernatural strength to carry on until you return, that until that moment she will be able to rest in you, and that she can provide that same rest for her children.
    The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come quickly, Blessed Bridegroom!"
