A Lost Soul

Dear God,
I want to pray for a friend who I know wouldn't consider me a friend anymore.
You tell us to pray without ceasing and to bring all things before you, so that's what I'm doing now.  Megan is having a really tough time in life and with her grandmum passing, her dad losing his job, and his suicide attempt.
She told me she had set a suicide date and only lived to see her best friends 16th birthday.  Lord, I know what it is like to live only in the 'Here & Now' and it's not what you want.  I know that she is lost and I regret squandering the hundreds of hours Iv'e talked to her not talking about the most important thing.  You know she won't talk to me because she sees me not as a veteran, but as a like cripple, and crippled far more then her not capable of helping her.  I am also flawed and she will not hear me, but I pray that you would speak to her and that she would hear you.  She is so very lost and in need of a savior. I'm speaking from experience here; I so need you.  Everyone does.  So I pray that you would work in her like you have in me, I pray that you would revive her and make a light for you.  Thank you for the lesson you taught me in spending every second with the unregenerate, spending it all for you.
Please be with her and her family.
In Jesus' name,
Amen
