Again we ask, O Lord, that You will be for her that husbandman of the Bible, the one who will come alongside of her ~ the one to cover her with his garment of protection and care ~ the one who will ease her fears ~ the one who will defend her before the world.
We have committed Terri to Your loving care, Father, and we do so again. We are frightened for her, but she has not escaped Your view or Your protection. Whisper to her the love of her family ~ may she feel the prayers of a nation ~ may she be renewed by Your Spirit ~ and may she be unafraid in her circumstance. Hold back the storm of evil that would engulf her and set her safely on solid ground ~ bring forth the people needed to help her ~ turn aside those who would harm her.
We thank You, dear Father, for this mother's child. Forget not her parents ~ set their hearts at ease, for You stand watch over their beloved daughter. Forget not her brother and sister and those who labor, for their plea is that Terri be returned safely to the care of her parents. And that is our plea, O God, in the name of Your Son, Jesus, Amen ...
