If anybody wants to join me in praying for the jury during deliberations, I'm going to set aside some time every day. The two or more gathered together principle, don't ya know.
I'm thinking the jury deliberations, since they're not going to be sequestered, may begin daily around 9:00 Pacific Time, which would be 10 am Mountain, 11 am Central, and noon Eastern time. So that's when I'll be praying. Noon my time. You are all welcome to join me.
The Prayer
Lord, grant these twelve jurors great wisdom to understand all the testimony they have heard over the past two months, and the clarity of mind to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Give them strength to endure, and fill them with a sense of honor and integrity, and the desire to do what is right.
May You shine the light of truth into the darkness of their confusion, that the jurors will discern honesty from those who bear false witness against their neighbor.
Although You say "Justice is Mine," may You see fit to allow justice for Danielle here on this earth, that her death may not lead to the death of other innocents.
We pray that truth will prevail, and that the sword of justice will weigh heavily on those who would use it falsely to bring glory to themselves.
May Your will be done, in Jesus name.
Amen.
Pray for strength and guidance for all of the friends and families involved in this ordeal.
Sounds good. Take care.
#78...Excellent prayer.
This trial .....the Van Dams bother me BIGTIME!!
As a parent who tried to protect my children to the nth degree.....I'm just so angry at their lifestyle, and their in-your-face attitude.
..I can't even imagine a parent coming home from an evening out, and not checking on the children.
...I can't imagine seeing my alarm light on, or a door open, and not immedicatly checking on my children.
I believe them to be fabricators of the highest order!!.....
..and there's more here than meets the eye.
And one more thing!!!!
..No matter how many times they locked that garage door, so the kids wouldn't surprise them during their sex romps.....
...are they daft brained enough to think, eventually, someone wouldn't blab????
....that those poor kids would hear embarrassing things at school??????
Or did they even care!!!!
I'm so sick of Nancy Grace, I could puke!!
...Her sneering face drives me to change the channel as fast as she appears.
Everyone, it seems, in the media, has not only found Westerfield guilty.....they are eagerly looking forward to his execution.
Yes, he might have done it..........but there are so many holes in this story.........
...OK, rant over.....needed to get that out of my system.
And, for the most part, I have found much needed clarity here on this Thread.....and much logical thinking!!!
I completely overlooked replying to your prayer post. Better late than never, huh? I did join you and will do so when the jury reconvenes, as well as throughout this weekend.
Dear Lord, I seek Your providence and ask that Your will be done. In Jesus' name, Amen.
