Handle with Care

As a public health nurse, I have a very different work environment than my colleagues in the hospital. Instead of bringing patients into my space where I am in control, I enter the space of my clients. Sometimes I am very pleased to see healthy, supportive families who only need a little bit of cheer-leading on my part. Other times I encounter problems that I would never want to live through. Today I discovered that one of my clients, a mother of a 3 month old little boy, has been suffering in an abusive relationship for quite some time.
Lord, give me wisdom as I try to help in this desperate and delicate situation. Be glorified as I attempt to show Your love to this young lady and her family.
