Such a delimma!

I have a dear friend who is traveling the road of divorce. Right now she is side-lined 'in the pit of despair'. Nothing has gone right for her during her courtdates or mediations over this long drawn out ugly affair (over a year) in spite of hours and weeks and months of preparation on her part. After hiring two seemingly inept lawyers (she was at their mercy), she is paralyzed with fear and is in a panic of losing everything:(
She is exhausted and has run out of steam. She's completely depleted:( A strong, bright woman who has a good career and is a beauty inside and out---a woman of faith who is wrestling with this nightmare and at the moment is flattened; cannot move, cannot eat, cannot think!

The father of her child is abusive with words from his lawyer and she must be civil to him since he is the father of her precious daughter (as our friend Lou said), and she is a Christian who shouldn't be vindictive....right?

What comes through is we have a war with injustice in this fallen world. I HATE injustice, but it isn't promised to us here on this earth, is it? God says He is Justice---but that's hard to wrap our minds around when you want to beat up someone for righteousness' sake! It's righteous anger, isn't it...??

O Lord, give my friend the sweet comfort of friends & family enfolding her to let her know she is never alone, that You hold her in Your Hand & care for her as no other does, that You know injustice!
Help me remember that too!!!
Because no matter how old we get, the world can make us feel like abandoned little kids:(
