Please pray for me and the difficult week that I have already had this week at work. Pray that I am able to lean on coworkers and God as we work through the process of walking with a child who was actively attempting to end their life. Please pray for the child and the healing that they need, not only physically but mentally and spiritually, as they receive the help they need. I’m praising God for the work that we are able to accomplish daily, even the hard days because every day, even in the little moments, we are saving lives of the children we work with.
