Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that there is relative quietness in the battle raging over this mother's child .. the vile words were not spoken today, but words were spoken, nevertheless. Those who would end Terri's life appeared in the halls of justice to ask that Terri's Law be struck down as unconstitutional. Father, the mockery of men who think that halting an execution of an innocent woman is somehow against the law. O God, how great is Your infinite patience, for You are not willing that anyone would perish outside of Christ. May the Holy Spirit move in the hearts of men who seek Terri's life .. may they repent before it's too late.

Father, grace the lips of those who speak for Terri .. give fire and power to ordinary words spoken by ordinary people. May these words thunder against the words that would appear so eloquent, but so hollow. Give the people ears to discern beyond the beguiling language that beckons people to an early death. Pierce the heart of the judge .. give him all wisdom and righteousness .. we pray that he is that judge who will finally give Terri the relief her family so earnestly seeks. Let no one of dark motive hold sway over her, Father, for she has suffered much. May she rest in You this night with the sweet peace of knowing that she communes with the God of all Comfort.

Strengthen Terri's mom and dad, Lord, for they have lived a nightmare far too long. Thank You that the media has turned its attention to this family's plea .. provide them with a forum and many listeners and viewers, that the people would hear the truth, and having heard, may their outrage pour out upon those who have declared a brain-injured woman, unfit to live.

Father, only the Blood of Jesus Christ could cover sin of this magnitude .. I pray for the salvation of those who see this as mercy, and not murder.

Go before us, Lord, for we don't know the way .. the enemy is fierce and numerous, but You are God, and it is in You that we place our trust and our hope and our very lives. Soon, Lord, may this beloved daughter be restored to her family .. sweep away the years that they have been apart .. grant them many years in which to praise Your holy name ... Amen
