For Cross Cultural Adjustment

Dear father! Be near and comfort and fill _______ today, help her through this season of struggle with adjusting to the culture. I ask that you give her your heart and eyes to see through the craziness of that place to the deep needs and brokenness of the people around her. You DO know and remember how difficult the struggle was for you - as you became human and entered our world! Give her love and acceptance of herself in her feelings, and not guilt about it! Guide her through it not out of it in denial or covering over her feelings! I also ask for a dear __________ friend for her so that she can't make the generalizations: "These People are all so..." You know what is best for _________ and I trust you in the work you're doing in her to make her more mature and perfect! We love you and trust you for this! AMEN!
