This gave me chills. If only all victims would seek their refuge in the Lord--may these words lend strength to all who read them.

Barbara, I pray peace to your soul and your mind. I pray freedom from all feelings of blame and responsibility. I pray that the chains that bind you are broken and that you are set free. I pray that Almighty God will touch you and hold you in the palm of His hand. I pray that you go to sleep tonite and awake tomorrow with a renewed spirit and as a whole new person. Peaseful in God. Those men will answer to God for what they did and I wouldn't want to be in their shoes when they do. Be Blessed, my friend. Lorraine
