Heavenly Father, we return with hymns of praise that You have sustained this mother's child and her family these many years. Great is Your Power, O God, and Mighty are Your Works ... Blessed be Your Name Forever, for You have been the Watchman over this wounded woman, and the gates of hell that have opened upon her, have not prevailed.

Bless the day of her birth, Merciful Father, with praise and joy that will resound throughout the country. Write upon the hearts of the people that Your Word declares that "in Your hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind." Job 12:10. You are God ... man is not. Sweep away all those who would take upon themselves, Your authority. Scatter the merchants of death ... render them powerless ... hold them in derision. Let Your anger burn hot against them, for they have come to take away the wounded and disabled and feeble and vulnerable.

We continue to plead Terri's cause before the Throne of Grace ... we continue to ask that the rulings of one Judge be changed, as in the story in Luke. Justice finally prevailed, not because the Judge was convicted in his heart that he ruled unrighteously, but because he wearied of the woman continually before him pleading. Grant unto this imprisoned woman the justice long denied ... set her within her beloved family, that she might know all the beautiful expressions of love. Sustain each one unto that day, O Lord, in the Name of Jesus, Amen ...
