Joseph and Mary

Last week, I (Suzy) was called to the clinic to pray for Mary after she swallowed a bottle of hair dye in an attempt to end her life. Mary’s husband Joseph was with her and seemed very concerned. Mary was quiet and didn’t want to talk so I asked Joseph if I could talk to her alone. As soon as he left she started to share her heart. It is a common problem for young girls and was of no great surprise to me. Mary is her husband’s second wife and is treated terribly by the first wife. Mary has never complained to Joseph fearful he would beat his other wife and she would become even worse.  Mary said she couldn’t bear it any longer and wanted all the trouble to end.  I told her about my friend called Jesus, and how much he cares and loves me but more importantly He is my Savior.  After much discussion, weeping and prayer, Mary asked Jesus to be her Savior too.  I invited Mary and her husband to come to our church to worship with us and to meet Sabet.  On Sunday they came together and Sabet got to share with Joseph.  He asked him to come back on Tuesday for more counseling.  Today Sabet met with him and they prayed together.  Please contnue to pray for this precious couple.
