Rhonda,
Please keep us updated about how your friend is getting on.
How horrible, to here the pastor's way of speaking to your friend like that.
I thank you for your poem. Please may I keep it and pass it on if and when I
feel it would help someone.
Love,
Malcolm.

Subject: pray for a friend
I have a friend who tried to take her life last week, she had some problems
at work, and attempted to talk to her pastor who told her she was just
wallowing in self pity….the whole conversation was very negative, all about
what she wasn’t doing, she doesn’t do well in crowds and didn’t attend
many fellowships that the church had…..it must be maditory that one attend
regulary. He said her relationship with God was didley squat….anyway, this
was the last straw, she took a lot of pills, a friend found her the next
morning and she was taken to the hospital….she is ok now, well, alive, still
has issues to work through.
Here is a poem I sent her.
prayer
I said a prayer for you today,
For I too have been there,
Wanting only to leave this world
Thinking no one would even care,
I too have felt alone,
Misunderstood and afraid,
I have felt rejected as others pointed out mistakes I’d made,
But our God has compassion,
For those whose hearts are filled with fear,
He is always watching,
Is aware of every tear,
He does not chide us for our fears,
But assures of His love,
Forgives us our many mistakes,
For He knows what we are made of,
I said a prayer for you today,
For you are so special to me,
There have been times in my life,
When you were God to me,
A listening ear, a caring heart,
A place to spend the night,
And so I thank God for you,
And pray he makes all things work out right,
It’s a promise he gave,
You will make it through,
Just always remember I am here,
I love you and I’m praying for you.
