Lord, we plead with You on behalf of Terri Schiavo, but not only for her sake. Her life is precious but her situation is also symbolic of the culture of death that is becoming more pervasive in our society. It is for You to decide when the end of our earthly days has come, not some person or group who follow the prince of darkness. Bind the hands of satan and open the eyes of those who are blind to Your goodness, mercy, and eternal love. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.
"...this prayer..."
Thank you.
Amen and AMEN, kayak! Thank you!
Let me join my prayer with yours:
O Lord God Almighty,
you who know your own,
you who have called us to trust in you,
you who have asked us to be
the leaven of heaven in a hard, sin-filled world,
the light on the hill,
salt,
to be witnesses of your way,
hear our prayer, O Lord,
and let our cry come unto thee,
as we pray for Terri,
as we pray for her parents,
as we pray for those who care for her,
as we pray for those who work to help her,
as we pray for all those who would harm her,
as we pray for all people in Terri's situation,
as we pray for all those fighting the culture of death,
as we pray for all who wrongly think they are doing good, choosing death over life.
Help us, O Lord,
to choose life over death,
Help us, O Lord,
to lose our fear of standing up for the right,
Help us, O Lord,
to not be ashamed to shine your light before others,
Help us, O Lord,
to be willing witnesses
that you are the truth, the way, the life,
this day and always,
in the name of Jesus,
Amen.
