I make it a policy not to reveal personal information about my children, mostly at least, and not by name. A daughter herein called "Eva" is one of my children who has had a difficult life in her few short years. For quite a while now, she has had the struggle of being a single parent and all the stress and challenge that goes with that.
She called Monday, clearly upset. She had just had an automobile accident. Thankfully, no one was hurt, though two teenage girls were in the car with her. Her car was totaled, beyond fixing.
Eva doesn't stay "down" for long. She cannot afford to. She is resourceful, hard working, capable, and responsible for the well-being of her daughter and herself. But from as far back as I can remember, she has had so much hard luck. She has endured/survived a broken neck, a house fire, several car accidents or mechanical failures, financial debt, being betrayed, depressed, and broken-hearted, to name only a few of the unfortunate things.
Since Monday, in a matter of just a couple of days, she had taken care of all the details of bank loan, car insurance, replacing a totaled car, retrieving her license plates, etc. Today I drove her to pick up her "new" pre-owned car. She made a comment when we were driving, "I think my luck is going to change; things are going to go my way from now on."
There is no greater prayer than I have than that---'Lord, may that indeed be true!' It's time! It's overdue. It's only fair! Hear this prayer! May it be so!
No more car accidents; no more debt; no more broken heart; only good things from now on.
She deserves it. May good health, good fortune, good relationships, be hers.
I claim all that for Eva! Starting now.
