Love Thy Neighbor

My sweet neighbor is hurting. She loves God and has given herself to be a light in a dark spot in order for others to find truth. So it is so very hard to understand why God is allowing all the hurt and hard circumstances in her life. A child that is running, literally, away from facing his problems, is at the forefront right now. Yet there is a string of pain behind her. I want to help, but have no clue how. Prayer almost seems a lame excuse for doing nothing. But I will pray and pray and pray.....and trust that He's got this and everything else in His control. All things work for the good of those that love Him.
