To: EggsAckley; FreepinforTerri; EternalVigilance; All
please send this message along... Seriously, while I was praying tonight, I had the sudden thought:

Lord, regarding Terri: Thy Will Be Done.

I am not trying to rile people up. I know that we all care about Terri. But instead of praying for a specific outcome, let us ask God that His will be done. After all, He knows far more than we do about what is best for Terri, and what should happen here on the physical plane.

Sorry if I angered anyone or bummed anyone out. I don't want to alienate friends. I'm as sad and angry about what is happening to Terri as you all are. It's just... I realized tonight... we need really to ask God that His will may be done, not that our will should occur. I think that is the best prayer of all.

Goodnight, everyone. :)

You imply that it could be God's will that Terri perish at the hands of her unfaithful "husband." This could not be the "will" of God but the wish of sinful man. Why? Scripture clearly teaches that "God is not willing that ANY should perish but that all should come to the glory of God." (quote may be a little off, but the meaning is sound)

When I pray for Terri, which is all day, I always add "Thy Will Be Done". I so hope that Terri is able to go home with her family and away from the clutches of MS, but I know that God has his own plan.
