My wife was mugged. She's OK but they hit her in the face and took her purse. I don't know what to ask for right now, just please pray as you see fit.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Dear Lord,
Please help lemonflavors wife as she replays in her mind what happened. Please help her to recover from that, and to be able to feel safe quickly Lord. I pray for Lemonflavor that you help him too as he hurts for her.
Thank you for them, and please put angels of protection all around them.
I pray healing for her face and again that she would quickly be relieved of this from her mind.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen

I pray that God will take the fear and the hurt away.
I pray that God will prevent long-term trauma.
I pray that there may also be room for forgiveness.
All the best with this.

Update:
She was really smart and make copies of all the cards and stuff in her wallet a month ago (thankfully no social security card in there). So last night we called just about everybody to cancel stuff.
The people who stole her purse didn't buy anything but they used her phone. So the police will be able to get the numbers they called. They probably just did it for fun.
She is doing surprisingly well. Hopefully she isn't supressing things. I listened very intently to her and comforted her as best as I could.
I had bad dreams about grieving about it and will probably be a little messed up for a few days.
Please pray that her purse is recovered. She had some valuables like another pair of glasses, photographs, etc. in addition to truly recovering emotionally, being comforted by God and dealing with the stress.
I wish it happened to me instead of her.
Thank you.

Father, I come to You on behalf of Lemonflavor and his wife. Father, touch them both at this time Lord and bring both emotional and mental healing to them both. Father I ask that You be with his wife at this time and bring peace to her. Take away the fear that may be there and bring her closer to You. Lord, touch Lemonflavor's mind atthis time and grant him stability and grace even in the trying times. Please allow their belongings to be returned and the thieves to be brought to justice.
In Jesus' mighty and wonderful name, Amen.

Heavenly Father I thank you that lemonflavors wife was protected by you and that the enemy was not able to cause more harm than what he did. Thank you Lord that you watch over your children. I can't imagine the fear that she must have felt, but I thank you Lord that you will comfort my sister and her husband. Lord I pray that your angels will encamp around this family and reassure them that you will not allow the enemy to cause more harm to them. That all things are in Your hands. Father I pray that lemonflavor's wife will have a quick recovery and that her mind will be steadfast on you. Lord let her recover also all her personal belongings. Thank you Jesus for your protection. I pray that she will be able to forgive those who did this to her. In Jesus name, amen.

My wife is the woman who was punched. She got off easier than the other victims.
They didn't recover much of her stuff at all. But people from a second Bible study that she goes to replaced some money and gift cards that were stolen. That was really nice.
She's doing well but is understandably very nervous about going out alone. Please pray she would have a balance of being wary without an inordinate amount of fear.
And pray for the attackers. Easy for me to forget that.

Thanks angelkiss. Good to see you've been back around here.
There is a court date for one of the criminals this Wednesday afternoon. They said it's good for the judge to see the victims there. So I will be going with her. This will be difficult for my wife of course but for me also. I know it's OK to be angry for evil and wrongdoing but the danger for me is actually seeing him and having vengeful thoughts and scenarios in my head. "Do not take revenge my friends but leave room for God's wrath." So if you could pray that would be great.

I know that it can't be easy knowing that you'll be seeing this person face to face. I couldn't imagine the thoughts that would be running through my head if it were me.
Through prayer, you can get through this, and a lot of prayers are going up for both you and your wife.
God Bless!

In case anyone is interested court in details:
The person who handles the witnesses and victims is super nice and informative. She escorted us to court. When there, the criminal looked at me and I made eye contact with him until he stopped and then the deputy told him to look straight ahead. Then his lawyer looked and me and I stared at him.
This was a preliminary hearing to decide if he would have a hearing to see if they would waive him to adult court. This doesn't usually happen, but it appears he's been in the system a few times, he's violent and he punched a deputy which is a felony. If he's waived to adult court there will be a whole lot of other stuff to do. There was speculation of using the threat of waiving to adult court to use as a bargaining tool but the DA said she's going for it. One of the other two criminals involved that the big city has (this is a suburb) may be used as a bargaining tool.
My wife was shaking when she saw him but I was surprised at how calm and not angry I was. I had just read Oswald Chambers talk about John 13:34-35 when in the waiting room which helped. She is fine now although she wants to move (we're in somewhat urban area) but realizes these things can happen anywhere.
I was getting agitated this week thinking about all this and slept absolutely terrible last night but I think that should calm back down pretty quick.
