Pray You Through

Have you ever felt so torn on what to do? Ever felt like you lost all the words to say to someone who needs to hear them in troubling times? Ever felt like you could do nothing to help them when they needed it, even if they said you did help? Yeah...it's been one of those nights. Ever been so scared that you were going to lose someone close to you, someone that has always been there for you? I mean, you read about it in the teen dramas and you see it on television, but you never think it will happen to you. But what do you do when the moment rises and completely stuns you. The only thing I can think of is to write that person a letter, so here's my letter. They may read it and take it to heart, or they may just read it and not look at it again. As long as they read it, that's all that matters to me.

Hey you... You're struggling really hard right now and I hate that you are. I wish I knew how to take away the stress and the pain, but I don't. I know you. I look at you and I see the strong person that I have gotten to know over the years. You may think that person is gone, but I see that person there. They're just struggling to pull through the darkness that has now come to consume them. You may feel like you are alone now, but you're not. I will always be here for you in the best ways possible. You are more like family to me and I don't want anything to happen to you. Not only am I here for you, but so is my family. You know this & I hope you use it to help you. I'm sorry that sometimes I don't know what to say to make you feel better or don't know what to do. My mom tells me that I just need to sit there and listen to you. I do, but I feel like I need to do more. Just know that no matter what, you can ALWAYS come to me and I will always listen. If you need more advice, I'll do my best. I just want to help you. You're strong and you can overcome this. I believe in you. Sincerely, Me.

There's this one song that I keep listening to and it's helping me to find the words to say to them when they need words of encouragement. I actually heard it on One Tree Hill, and I fell in love with the power of emotion in the singer's voice. I really got to listening to the lyrics the other night and was like, "This is the song that they need to hear." Just know that no matter what, I'm here for you and when I feel lost as to what to do, I will pray you through.
