Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that You have been Terri's provision these many years ... were it not for You, O God, surely she would have perished. She has not felt sunlight nor enjoyed warm breezes or heard the laughter of children or felt the wondrous purr of a kitten against her cheek ... yet she is described as having an inner radiance. Help us, Merciful Father, to be as strong as she ... as unrelenting as she ... for the hour appointed unto her by man to die is at hand.

Creator God, Your Word teaches of the woman who continually came before the Judge for justice ... she was sent away time and again, but she would not relent. Bring forth that Judge for this mother's child, O God ... let him be so weary of the appearing of Terri's parents that he will grant the justice that they have long sought. Show Yourself in a mighty way, Merciful Father, that Your children may rejoice that the Righteous Judge of the Universe has heard the cries for this wounded woman ... set her free from the evil that binds her. Vindicate the love of mother and father and sister and brother. Thunder upon the people that You are God, and that in Your hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10.

Sovereign Lord, we no longer know what to do, yet even in our inability, You have provided. Grace the words of her attorneys as they again approach the bench today ... move within the governments of men to have compassion and protection for the least among us ... burden our hearts as never before to cry out before the Throne of Grace on Terri's behalf ... totally and utterly destroy the Merchants of Death. May each minute seem like an eternity to each one who wishes the death of this wounded woman ... pierce their stony hearts and replace their hatred with dreadful realization of what they are about to do ... may they repent while there is still time.

Surround Terri's family with renewed strength and energy ... may Godly grace continue to emanate from a family whose only desire is to care for their own. We echo their prayer ... we seek to save her life, Merciful Father, but of ourselves, we are unable. Rescue her, O God, in the Name of Jesus, the Christ, we pray, Amen ...
