Broken Heart

I got my heart broken tonight...
I was reading through a prayer devotional about the oppression of women around the world... through many horrible practices, from trafficking and rape to honor killings and female genital mutilation... on and on...
It made me so thankful for the environment I've grown up in, and it made me cry out to God for justice for the oppressed. Please join me in prayer for those who are tattered and abused... and as always, keep your eyes and ears attuned to how God might use you right where you're at, there are plenty of issues close to home to from domestic violence to eating disorders, to abortion and prostitution...
God, have mercy on the brokeness that surrounds us, and give us the courage to be your hands and feet and VOICE of truth, forgiveness, grace and love!!
