All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life. For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
Lord, a major concern on my mind is our cousin, dying in a place far from family and who, to the best of my knowledge, denies You. How do we bring her back here so we and others in the family can care for her during this final phase of her life? Most important, how do we carry the message of Your love and forgiveness and her need for it one more time? Lord, give her the ears to hear.
