Thanks a lot for your earnest prayer for our family. The 18th of May was bad for our family. The devil took opportunity and tried to harm our family. Swati, our younger daughter went out for tuition and she was missing since 11 am. We had no idea where she was and what she was doing. I went to the police station and complained about her missing. I ran here and there but could not find her.
The Lord miraculously saved her life that day. She said that at about 11:30 she was returning home. Suddenly one young man held her from behind with a knife and shut her mouth, and then another young man came with a car. They both lifted her into the car and drove many miles away. She was beaten badly inside the vehicle. Then they brought her to a broken cottage, near a highway. They were drunk and during this time, they drank again. In the meantime Swati ran from there and reached that high way. She was trying to stop the vehicles passing by. There was a mini-truck driver that showed mercy and brought her in the city. Swati reached a phone at about 5:30pm and called our home. At the time, I was in our main police station and our elder daughter, Sumi, picked up her phone, and we went and brought Swati home.
Now she is broken, and it's a big shock for her. Safety for women is a big issue to us now. Swati is very quiet now, silent and always weeping. Fear has gripped her and she is very scared. We do not know how to comfort her or wipe away fear from her. Still, we do not know who did this to my innocent daughter. We all have anxiety and do not know what needs to be done at this moment.
Please pray for God's guidance, protection and mercy for all of us. We could not have imagined such an incident. We now need to think a lot about our future security. Our police here think that it's our responsibility to provide safety for our daughters. Only God can give that in this dirty world. We may have to take Swati and our family to another place so that she will forget this incident. I am supposed to go on a trip in Uttranchal to start work among the most unreached tribe called RUNG; not sure whether I will go or cancel this trip. I left it in God's hands and direction.
Please pray for me as well.
