Hi friend, this is Mary Demuth, and this is Pray Every Day, where I pray through the Bible verse by verse.

Reading readers' comments in November, which is kind of the schick I'm doing this month, and today's comes from Rachel.

She says, I've been listening since 2020 when we lost our church family, my husband's job, nearly lost our son's boys to trafficking,

and nearly repeatedly lost a daughter

and her unborn son to suicide. All the siblings among our children have been traumatized by the

severe mercy of our too late escape from generational SRA. I think that's satanic ritual abuse.

That awakening has been an ongoing nightmare. Most believers have backed away

from our pain because it cannot be fixed quickly or simply enough. The other grandparents have died,

so we are a large family now lonely in an upheaved world. Half of our nine children no longer

believe in God. I know we are not alone. I know God is not done, but carrying on is a marathon of heartache.

Among survivors, your name keeps coming up. I don't message feedback or use social media for safety

reasons, but I have been praying for you, for Kristen, and for William, as you have asked.

Dear sister and Jesus, please do as he leads you, but know that your daily prayers mingled

with God's precious

book have been manna and water in my wilderness. Without warning, my back went out on Mother's Day

and is still not right. I have narrowly avoided surgery and believe God's purposes for the trauma

and pain that linger. Your podcast, August 21st, several weeks ago, was a kiss from God. I needed to know he saw me and cared.

Thank you for praying as he leads. I'm surely not the only one your prayer helped, but I was

listening and felt rescued by God's attention through you. If this is your podcast final season,

I will miss you sorely. Grace and peace to you in every direction. I look forward to meeting you

when we are safely home. Thank you so you in every direction. I look forward to meeting you when we are safely

home. Thank you so much, Rachel, and I just want to lift up a prayer for her and her family.
