Out of the Blue

After months of radio silence,
Didymus contacted me.

We didn't talk about the job
She abruptly walked out on
Five months ago,
Or the letter rescinding her resignation,
Asking the company to take her back.
We talked about
Where she has been
And what she's been going through.

Father,
She walks in a valley of darkness.
Demons, past and present, pursue her.
Guide her safely through.
Comfort and embrace her.
Only You can combat
That which assails her.
I pray,
Be her Champion!
Lord of Hosts,
Wage war against the forces
Seeking to tear her apart.
Bring her out of the valley,
And into the light.
Redeem this period of her suffering, Lord,
To the praise and glory
Of Your Most Holy Name!
