Lord, let the world be amazed that you have given her inexplicable moisture and nourishment. Let them be baffled because only you could have sustained her. Receive the glory due you, Oh Lord...and keep Terri functioning and free of pain. When she emerges from this Lord (if it be your will) let her tell wonderful stories about how she knew you were there. Sustain her, Lord. Only you are capable. And please turn the heart of stone in Judge Greer into a heart of flesh. Lord, if he is, indeed, doing what he *thinks* is right, show him his error. Rescue Terri, but YOU receive glory, Lord, because the glory is yours to have. Give her drink, give her food, even if man is not. In Jesus name.
Lord, we also pray for everyone on this board who is arguing for Terri's murder. I don't think any of them are coming at this with bloodlust...there have been other battles fought here on FR that were right and good, and these people and we have stood together. But they are wrong, Lord, and I pray you will also melt THEIR hearts. And forgive us for angry words we may have said. Forgive us for fighting with friends. Lord, melt hearts, forgive us AND them and let there be unity. Melt the hearts of those who clammor for this innocent woman's death, and show them, Lord, that you are a God of life, not death. You proved that 2,000 years ago. You turned a hopeless situation of torture and murder into peace and life. We pray that now, Lord, not only for Terri, but for all the posters on this board, both pro and con. Forgive US Lord, so that we may also forgive them. In Jesus name.
The 23rd Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
amen!
