[Pegita]

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks for the love You have shown us. We are not worthy to cast our eyes heavenward, but You have deemed us to be a little lower than the angels. You count us precious, and in praise we lift up one who is so precious to so many ~ our beloved Terri. We love her ~ You love her most. We take part in her suffering ~ we grieve with broken hearts. Would that we could take her burden, we would, as surely as You carry our own.

May the earnest prayer and petition, the river of tears, the silent ache, the unspeakable grief, may they rise to Your Throne of Grace and return to enfold Terri with the sweetest love and the most profound comfort. May there be music within her soul ... may there be a glimpse of the heavenlies ... and may she rise to greet You when You call her home.

In Your love, You forget not her parents ~ you forget not her brother and sister ~ you forget not those who have labored for her life. Even now, Lord God, we pray that You would lengthen her days, for You are God. Even now, Merciful Father, we want her to remain. Even now, Creator God, we acknowledge that You are Sovereign.

Into Your loving hands we place our beloved Terri and thank You for the fellowship she has given to us as, worlwide, we have called upon You as we whispered her sweet name.

To You be all Glory and Honor and Majesty ... You, the One who has made us a little lower than the angels ... You, the Creator of our beloved Terri.

May Your Name be glorified forever and ever, Amen ~

Dear Heavenly Father,

We are not sure what is happening, our hearts break for Terri, her Mom and Dad, Brother and Sister and all the other vunerable folks out there this day.

You are our only source of trust and security. We praise You for being a Father who hears His children. We ask for Your favour, peace and joy amidst such trying circumstances.

We love You and trust that Your will be done.

May Terri be protected from this murderous rampage. May she be comforted in Your care for her and trust You completely. May her folks be given divine strength, renewal and peace as they wait to see if anybody will stop this travesty of justice. May they have the peace that passes all understanding, the peace that can only come from You.

To You alone be the glory for all You do and Your gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ so that we will live eternally and never again bare witness to sin in ourselves or others.

In the name above all names...Jesus Christ Your Son.

Dear Heavenly Father..Our hearts are so heavy with grief about what is happening to our dear sister Terri. We know you are watching over her even as this prayer is being uttered. Also watch over her family as they stand in vigil over her and give them your perfect peace and love. Sustain also, those who stand beside this family in vigil over Terri, and impart your grace on them. We ask that your will be done and we give your praise for what you have done, and for what you are going to do for Terri.

Amen...

[pollywog]

Father in Heaven,

I come to you heavy in heart and spirit over the injustice to Terri Shiavo. I weep with others and come into Your presence with a burden too heavy to bear. You have asked us to " Come unto me all ye who are weary and heavy laden, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST".....OH PRECIOUS JESUS, DEAR SAVIOR, I look to you right now for REST for our weary hearts and souls.

I bring Terri before you just now. I lift her up into your arms and ask that your PERFECT WILL be done in her life and in her body. Father, if it is within Your will, I pray that you sustain her with " manna" that no one knows of. Keep her body nourished the same as you nourished 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. I pray Lord Jesus that You will be to her " water" .....that You will perform a supernatural healing of her body right now.

Lord I pray for Jeb Bush and his staff right now. Lord Jesus SHOW HIM THE WAY. GIVE HIM INSIGHTS FROM YOU into how to intervene. Give him COURAGE to do the RIGHT THING HERE LORD JESUS.

I Pray right now for this precious family. OH LORD JESUS how my heart weeps and aches for them right now. Comfort that precious mom and dad. Comfort the sister, brother and their families.

Lord Jesus you have told us to " ASK YOU" .........so I am asking in simple faith that YOU ARE GOING TO ANSWER. Speak peace to our hearts right now.Make us strong...." THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH, THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES".........coming into your presense now Precious Savior.

We cry HOLY, HOLY, HOLY,

We cry HOLY, HOLY, HOLY,

WE CRY HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, to You Lord......

Jesus Savior Pilot Terri

Over Life's Tempestous Sea

Unknown Waves before her roll

Hiding rocks and Treacherous Shoal

Chart and COMPASS come from thee

JESUS SAVIOR, PILOT, Terri.

As a Mother stills her child

THOU CANST HUSH THE OCEAN WILD

Boisterous waves obey Thy will

When Thou sayst to them " BE STILL

Wonderous Sovereign of the Sea

Jesus Pilot compass Terri.

Oh Father God, I look to you expectantly in prayer just now. I will PRAISE YOU, I will THANK YOU, I WILL REST in YOU, For now and evermore, Amen.

[manna]

Joining you in prayer for Terri and all who love her ...

From LadyPilgrim on this thread:

This is to all who are in need today. As I sat in Church today, God gave me this chapter to send to all.

Psalm 63 New American Standard Bible

O God, Thou art my God; I shall seek Thee earnestly; My soul thirsts for Thee, my flesh yearns for Thee, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2 Thus I have beheld Thee in the santuary. To see Thy power and Thy glory.

3 Because Thy loving kindness is better than life, My lips will praise Thee.

4 So I will bless Thee as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Thy name.

5 My soul is satisfied with marrow and fatness. And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

6 When I remember Thee on my bed, I meditate on Thee in the night watches,

7 For Thou hast been my help,And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing for joy.

8 My soul clings to Thee; The right hand upholds me.

9 But those that seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth.

10 They will be delivered over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes.

11 But the King will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will glory, For the mouths of those that speak lies will be stopped.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to share this because I believe the Scriptures of our Father, Jehovah God is the only thing that can give us hope at this time! He wants us to be comforted.

My heart is breaking for those that know not the power of His love, and forgivness. I want all whose eyes fall upon these Scriptures to know,

GOD IS WITH TERRI. For HE IS THE, I AM.

I want to scream this from the mountaintop!!!

I would have liked to have typed this all in BOLD CAPS! For this is a dark day, that only the Light of the risen Savior can reveal the sorrow and hurt put on this family, and bring them peace.

HE IS ABLE! He sends us His Love through His WORD. Just get a hold of this Truth!

May the God of mercy comfort all who can't be comforted. In Him and Him only is peace!

Dear sweet one, please ping our prayer partners, our online family for Logan and Ryan and little Jaquelyn and Sara Grace, and on and on! Make sure all read the begining of the thread...these prayers are going to be delivered to Terri's family. Thanks.

We know the power of prayer beyond any doubt.

We need to prayer together now for this precious live that has suffered beyond belief and lived without chance for renewal due to horrendous actions of the part of her guardian.

Thanks again and many hugs!

PRESS RELEASE

Special Session Called in State Legislature Speaker of the House, Johnnie Byrd to introduce “Terri’s Bill”

Clearwater, FL October 19, 2003: The Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, has called a special session of the Florida Legislature for Monday, October 20, 2003. At that time, Florida’s Speaker of the House will introduce “Terri’s Bill”. By Florida law, two-thirds majority vote are required to have a topic entered.

Volunteers with the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation have learned that Senate President, Jim King is against this bill.

The Bill would put an immediate moratorium on all dehydration and starvation deaths currently pending in Florida.

We have come to a time when the merchants of death have created a constitutional crisis and a justice gridlock, while the rightful life of Florida’s disabled and vulnerable citizens tragically hang on Terri Schindler-Schiavo’s court ordered dehydration and starvation death.

We urge all concerned Floridians to contact their Senators and State House members to vote for Terri’s bill.

Time is short.

[RnMomof7]

May the God of Mercy hold terri in His hands. And may God forgive our nation for leaving the most helpless of His children at the hands of the servants of Evil

Father rise up Let your enemies be scattered..We ask in the name of Jesus that your name be glorified in this, and if it be your will that Terri be brought through this to the wonder of men.

Father keep these loving parents in your care, and bless them with your love. We ask this in the name of Jesus

The Lord will not fail Terri, your faithful prayers will not fail her either.

[DoctorMichael]

Lord, you who saw Terri at the moment of her conception, have mercy on her. Wrap her soul in your grace and love and keep her close to you in this time of need. Melt the hearts and touch the minds of those who have the power to save her.

[Exit148]

----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.

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.

[oreolady]

Sugestion:
Would it help to have a group of Freepers Monday afternoon, 1:45, at the legislature building with new, pleas of help signs?
Not the usual varied comments, but ones with "ARE YOU THIRSTY?", or "TERRI'S THIRSTY", "A HELLISH WAY TO DIE-THIRST", or anything that may appeal to their consciences as the members fo the legislature enter the building.
Wish there were a fast way to create life-sized spoons to wear on the front of bodies.
Sorry if my isdeas sound dumb, just brainstorming at this late hour-in desperation, anything MUST be tried.
Anyone? Ideas?
As one poster said, WE MUST NOT GIVE UP, A CRITICAL TIME TODAY AND TOMORROW

Isn't it illegal to deny any animal food and or water?
