As we drove to this home, Jim was at a loss as to what he could do or say. This was something out of his realm of expertise We had prayed before we left the house, but Jim was anxious God was putting this woman's life in his hands I picked up the Bible from the console and said, "Maybe I can find a verse that will help you " I opened the Bible randomly, and a verse jumped right out at me.
