Jesus, I ask that You would increase in us so that we may increase in Your love. Not just for Terri, as it is easy to love her seeing her precious smile and it is easy to fight for her knowing the injustice that is being perpetrated upon her. But, give us love for those who are in such desperate need for it Lord. Namely, those who have maligned this precious woman. Those who are our enemies.
Lord, I come to you reminding you of Your word. You said that if You be lifted up You would draw all men unto You. Precious Savior, I ask that by the power of Your Holy Spirit, by whom all things are done, that you would pierce the darkness of their hearts with Your revealing light. I ask for mercy upon them Father. As hard as it is for me, us, to understand or fathom, as Your love is deeper than man can comprehend, I know that you desire to see them saved. It is not your will that anyone perish. Draw them unto you Father and reconcile them to You that they may find relationship with Your Son who died for their sins.
Father, I ask for favor in tomorrow's session. May Your presence be in that room among the leaders of the sate of Florida. May Your Holy spirit be there to minister the "right thing" to each of those participating. I ask for unity among party lines. A divine unity Lord. Visit them tonight Lord as they prepare to make this decision.
Lord, most of all I praise you and thank you for yoking us together here for Terri. 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.
All of these things I ask in the mighty name of Your Son, Jesus. I give you all the glory and honor and praise. Amen...
Forgive us our sins, bind us in our love and hope for Terri's future here on earth, comfort and stregthen her parents and siblings, shower your mighty power upon this sad situation and work Your awesome will. Grant us the wisdom to understand Your will and to work towards that end.
Father we are pleading for Terri and her parents. Our hearts are heavy with the knowledge that Terri hungers and thirsts, that her parents are filled with unbearable feelings of helplessness. Mend this situation to Your will, Father.
You are our everything. We love You so much and Praise Your most holy name! HOLY! HOLY! HOLY! Lord God Almighty!
Increase our faith, help us to know Your will and to move this mountain.
Amen.
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.
