      "Here i am Lord... is it I Lord.... I have heard you calling in the night. I will go Lord, if you lead me....I will hold your people in my heart.... I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save...." He will make your darkness to light, he'll weep with you and though he can't miraculously heal your wounds he can comfort you and love you .... i hope you are doing well and hanging tight...
