This past week has probably been one of the toughest weeks on the race so far and I’m so glad its over. As I’ve mentioned before, my team and two other teams live in Xenajoc. Xenajoc is a small Mayan town with a heavy presence of darkness over it, especially this past week.
Last Sunday, a 16 year old girl committed suicide. A few of my squadmates happened to be near her house right after it happened. They witnessed the police bring her body out and the cries of the broken hearted family members.
On Wednesday we all attended the showing before the funeral at the families home. Almost immediately after entering the house I felt a heavy weight on my chest and it took so much in me not to cry my eyes out. Sitting in the room, staring at her coffin, I could feel how very present the enemy was there. I could feel that the room was surrounded with darkness.
So here’s my prayer for this family.
God I thank you for always loving us even when we probably don’t deserve it. Thank you for healing and comforting the broken hearted. I pray that this family would feel your presence during this time of need. I pray that they would feel your comfort and peace. I pray that they would be overwhelmed with your love. Most importantly I pray that the enemy and the darkness would leave. I pray that through all of this, this family would see you in all of this.
