A Prayer For Her…

I just watched one of Tyler Perry’s movies-“For Coloured Girls” (I know, I know, old news, I am way out of date) but I still feel pained in my heart…

I feel pain in my heart for the woman with the abusive  man she couldn’t leave and who finally murdered her kids by throwing them out of the window of a 5 storey building…

For the woman who had a terrible childhood of molestation from her granddad and who uses sex-one night stands with different men as a way to numb the pain..

For the 16year old with a bright future, but also with an unwanted pregnancy she got rid of with tools from the drunk lady in the ghetto for fear  of what the world would say, because of the shame of being young, unmarried and pregnant…

For the executive boss lady married to a man who sleeps with men and gave her a gift of HIV…

For the woman who was raped in her own home by a man she trusted…

For the women who let the ‘I am sorry(s) baby” rob them of what they know they should have done;#LEAVE…

For the woman who does not get the privilege of ” I am sorry baby” but gets the “shut up bitch, I said I am sorry”…

I feel pained in my spirit because some of the above is some woman’s reality…

And as I watch, I get to the part where the women decide not to commit the suicide they have considered at some point in their lives but to get to the ends of their rainbow…

Where they decide that their love is too beautiful to have it thrown back on their face…

I lift my face, in true worship to God, in sincerity of mind and heart, for as many that found themselves again after the emotional trauma and I feel a stirring in my spirit to pray for them all, for not just the coloured girls but for as many women who are going through some trying times emotionally-in relationships/marriages out there..

“I pray the realization hits you soon that your love is too amazing to have it thrown back on your face.

I pray you love yourself enough to leave and let go if need be and wait for what you deserve.

I pray that God heals you, heals you enough to see the good in all you went through, that someday, you can use your experience to help one more woman like you.

I pray you find yourself again, in totality and in Christ.

I pray you find God, even through the tears,

I pray the joy that trumps all you’ve been through, finds its place in your heart… Amen”

And for everyone reading this, please take a minute to say a prayer for our fellow sisters, and if you are reading this and going through some stuff in one way or the other, please say the above prayer for yourself also.

I cannot say that I have an inkling of what you’ve being through/are going through but I can say without doubt that our God is still a comforter and is always there for you.

With love, hugs and prayers,

Frances.
