Prayer Request

Dear Lord, today I witnessed something that really saddened my heart. While riding the train, a young woman was sitting next to me. She had a pack of candy canes and she was giving them out to share. She gave one to me and two other strangers. I appreciated her generosity. Despite her kindness and sharing, she was treated with utter disrespect by two passengers sitting nearby. One was not wanting to talk to her, but had accepted her candy cane. The other passenger had moved from one seat to the other, claiming that her bothering him was "harassment." As a result, she apologized for upsetting this man and commenced hitting herself in the head with her hand for all to see. Then she got off the train, upset and apologizing to a man that she didn't even do anything to cause him harm. At that moment, I felt shame and anger. I could not believe how cruelly she had been treated. I wanted to say something, but I didn't. Lord, wherever this young girl is now, please shower her with your Love and Caring. I don't know who she is, but I pray that she sees better days. Lord, bless her with unwavering and constant Peace. I pray that she finds happiness. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN.
