In her book LEFT TO TELL, Immaculee Ilibagiza, writes about how she survived the Rwandan genocide of 1994, where she also lost her whole family. What is even more remarkable about her story is that for 91 days (3 months) she and 7 other women lived in a small bathroom, not knowing when her enemies would come for her. They were graciously fed a few scraps of food by a kind neighbour, who had taken the risky decision to hide them in his house. Her story is life-changing.
In part of the the book, she
wrote a lovely prayer, which is even more profound when you know her testimony. She says:
“Prayer
is the practice of love.
It
can change the world.
It
sounds so simple, but it is true.
Hold
on to hope and find peace in your heart.
Put
your trust in God.”
Psalm 9:12 - He does not ignore the prayers of men in trouble when they call to him for help.
May we all hold onto hope in our troubled world.
Living in Grace
D3LM3
