Hey, everyone. I'd like you all to pray for a friend of mine. Her name is Nina, and she's the girlfriend of my Army buddy Alex. Right now she's going through a lot of pain. Her dad had cancer and died a couple of years ago, but it wasn't from the cancer. She told me it was a car accident. Needless to say, she's having a hard time letting go, seeing she watched him suffer from the effects the cancer was having on his body.
Please keep her in your prayers. She claims to be a Christian, but from our conversations, I feel she doesn't have the same faith in God as we do. Right now she's angry that He let her dad suffer and be taken away from her, and thinks it's unfair and questions why she has to go through all this pain. I don't blame her for that. Didn't a lot of us feel the same way when tragedy struck the ones we love? She also insists that I don't know what she's going through. In a way, she's right. I've never had a close family member or friend go through the pain of cancer and watch them die a little more each day before my eyes. I hope I never have to face that, to be honest. Still, I've seen people I love go through pain and trials. Even if their situation is different from Nina's, the pain and loss they feel is exactly the same.
Again, please pray for her. I love this girl, and I'm hoping that one day she'll fully understand what a relationship with the Lord involves. I'm hoping that the love and friendship I extend to her with no strings attached points her to how God loves her. Thanks.
