I filled out the paperwork for her. Before she left, I asked if there was anything I could pray for, and she just burst into tears. She told me a friend of hers had just been murdered a few days earlier. I gave her a hug, and I asked if I could pray with her. She said I could.
She was still crying before she left, and I asked her if she would be all right. She told me she would, but she had not had anyone ask her how she was doing or offer any kind of hope and encouragement.
At first, she explained, she was crying because she was sad and scared. But then she was crying because she was so happy that someone cared enough to ask about her. It was just amazing to see that God used me to love on her in that situation.
