Prayer Request: Update on Suicidal Friend

I want to thank everyone for their prayers for "D," I believe our prayers our starting to be answered for ways in which other women can help her. On Saturday her girlfriend "M" called a Pastor at their church and he gave her some suggestions. M is a nurse and she also called the hospital where she works to get some additional suggestions and resources. M feels better now, about knowing how to approach and communicate with D, but is still very concerned--as we all are. Last night I went to a friends wedding and talked with a woman counselor (friend of mine) who suggested a woman counselor who has experience working with women who are thinking of suicide like D and she works less than 5 miles from where D lives.

We realize this is going to be a long process and covet your continued prayers for D. I will keep you informed of the progress. It is great to have a body of believers, like you, who know, believe and appropriate what James has told us, "Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up."

Thanks my BC friends!

Thank you so much for the update. Could you continue to remind us to pray because I know that her healing will be a long process.

I pray that D will be surrounded by women who will love her well. I pray that she will not believe the words of the enemy, but trust the words of our God deep in her heart.
