A Prayer for those who see Death as their Only Option...

Tears fall from my face,

and soak the sheets under my bowed head.

Lord, give her strength!

I pray.

Give her the strength to carry on

despite the pain he caused her.

Help her see that she has something to live for!

Death is not an option!

There are people who love her,

who would hate to see her go

before her time is come...

Lord, help her to see...

do not let his cruel words

condemn her to death...

remove the handle from her grasp,

take the blade away from her throat,

put the knife into its sheath...

Do not let her do this...

Lord, help her,

I pray.

Help her see the love

that so many have

for her.

Stop her from killing herself.

Lord, please help her...

and anyone else thinking the same...
