Troubles of People

It's late.
I should be asleep.
It's been a long day.
Yet the eyes of those who hurt lay deep in my mind.

Throughout these past few months I've really come to enjoy praying for others. It seems refreshing, it is a great way for me to sit back and watch God do, what God does.

Then I had class today...

I'm usually not big on putting things out there for others to look at and say, "Can you pray for this person." But I saw someone today and their pain broke me apart.

They've kind of had it rough lately. I'm not going into details because I don't know all the details. What I can tell you is this:

A person in my class asked them a question about something that they enjoy. Through the conversation a sharp note was hit during the discussion. Now, this person we are discussing at the moment tends to be alert and on the ball of their life. Not a lot of emotion shown in the class, except laughter. I tell you the truth, when that note was hit. The moisture increased in her eyes, the voice got really soft, and for a moment I actually thought they were going to cry.

It broke my heart.

Something that their life had been all about, gone. Once again, I don't know all the details, I'm just calling them as I see them. May I ask for some help though? Can I do that? Can you pray for them, and their hurting heart?
