God, You see this small girl’s heart
blackened by neglect
hardened by insults
broken by unmet hopes.
God, You have the remedy for this small girl’s heart–
a steady flow of compassion
soft Words of grace
healing hope of life together.
“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you,” (Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT.)
God, I give you this small girl’s heart
knowing Your Justice
trusting Your Goodness
believing Your Kindness. Amen.



Very nice—the “small girl” in me reaches out for a hug from your words.
And take as well a hug from my heart to yours, dear one!
Beautiful!
