PRAYER THREAD FOR TERRI SCHINDLER SCHIAVO
Those Who Stand Vigil | 10/19/03 | Pegita

Posted on 10/18/2003 11:44:36 PM PDT by Pegita

Those who stand Vigil have asked that a Prayer Thread for Terri Schiavo be started for any wishing to comfort and encourage Terri's family and friends and those who have labored on her behalf. Another Vigil will be held at 1:00 p.m. today at the Woodside Hospice, and another will be held at 3:00 p.m. today in front of the White House, through the efforts of an organization for the disabled.

One of our traveling FReepers is now at the Vigil and has met with Terri's family and speaks of their enormous grief. Terri's mom has been given some lotion, which she will use to tend Terri's feet. Prayers posted will be printed and given to Bob and Mary Schindler and their son and daughter ~ may they find some measure of comfort in our words.

----Please, dear Lord, let sane heads come forth and end this tragic situation.

---- Please guide those who have it in their power to reverse what has been done, and to return this woman to her loving family.

---- Please keep Terri close to you and nourish her in spite of the efforts of those who wish to harm her.

That your people, from all denominations, have come together for this woman is a testament to Your word that tells us we are of One faith.

My favorite chapter in the Bible....

Joh 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Joh 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
Joh 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
Joh 17:6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
Joh 17:7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
Joh 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
Joh 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
Joh 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
Joh 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].
Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Joh 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
Joh 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Joh 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Joh 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Joh 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Joh 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Joh 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
Joh 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Joh 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Joh 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Joh 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Joh 17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
Joh 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you will be with Terri

Be with her Mother and Father also. Give them comfort.

This I ask in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen

All is well. God knows who is who, where, and why.

We try to do our best...and this Forum helps...but the really important things are already taken care of, I am sure.

I just got word that Jeb Bush is calling a special session of the Florida State Legislature to pass a bill - "Terri's Bill" I believe it's called - TOMORROW MORNING.

IMPERATIVE we contact Florida legislators and ask them to support it. (Needs 2/3 vote)

For anyone interested, please see post linked, then, scroll below that to post #475 for details on Fl. Reps.

Here's the original post with the press release;

THANKS, AND MAY THE LORD PROTECT OUR TERRI!

I'm sorry to intrude on a prayer thread, but now we're beginning to see hope. I just pray it comes in time to save her.

Yes Father, forgive us of our sins. Help us to die to our own wills and to submit to Your will. If there be any ill will or malice in our hearts towards any of the parties directly or indirectly involved in this, reveal it to us that we may place it on the alter to be consumed. If there be any pride found within our hearts, give us the conviction to repent and throw it off of us so that we may clothe ourselves in Your humility.

Father this night I would also ask for the Schindler family a peace that only you can offer. That supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding. That peace that will enable them to say "It is well with my soul". Father give them assurance that you have more good thoughts towards them than can be numbered as is spoken in your word. Lord be the lifter of their heads. Let them know that the battle is not theirs, but yours. Father minister grace unto them and let them know that your grace is sufficient.

Again Lord I ask in the name of Jesus, my Lord and my Savior.

I continue to thank you for all of the wondrous miracles that you have performed for us, collectively and individually. For who else can do such things. Who can compare to You Lord? There is not time sufficient to tell of all of your wondrous deeds. I give you praise for you alone are worthy of praise and honor. There is none like you Lord.

I can't confirm anything other than the Legislature will be meeting tomorrow ... the FReeper who gave this information hasn't been able to confirm anything beyond that. If there are Vigil people you are aware of and can contact, please do so and post what information you have ~ thanks ~ keep praying!

Heavenly Father, how our hearts soar and drop, but You are constant. We continue to look to You to work on Terri's behalf, that she might yet come out from her prison and back into her family. Guard her through the night ~ refresh her with Living Water ~ may she feast on the Bread of Life ~ sustain her, I pray ~ that she might live. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...

I prayed your words thru continual tears of agreement and such want. Thank you for such a tremendous prayer. Our Father is so loving and tender...I have no doubt Terri's parents are embraced in His arms.

This is a spiritual battle. We must put on the armor of God, Satan is in full throttle.
