Dear Lord Jesus,
I come into Your presence now
To bring my prayer before You
A simple plea for a friend
Lord, You know all things
You see the good in all
Sometimes I just can’t see
Why You allow people to suffer
I know You have a plan
You know the outcomes
I pray that Your will be done
Please hear my humble request
You see Your child’s pain
The silent tears that are shed
You know what she’s going through
So many struggles in her life
I know she’s stronger than she thinks
But right now her strength is weakening
Her hope is slowly diminishing
Hold her up through this part in her life
Encourage her, show her Your love
Let her feel Your powerful presence
Strengthen her throughout her days
Bless her as her friendship has blessed me
Amen.

This poem was written for my friend, Beth:
allpoetry.com/poets/hidded%20within
She's gone through so much in her life that it's hard to see what she's going through right now. 
We all seem to have our tough times, but she seems to have more then the rest of us. She's an incredible young women with a bright future ahead of her. If you haven't gotten the chance to meet her, go by and check out her page.

I agree with you that the Lord would heal and strengthen Beth, blessing her abundantly, filling her with His joy unspeakable. May her body line up with the word of God and be healed and operate the way God had in mind when He created her. IN Jesus name~amen.
