good night, shezza.. thank you for your prayers. God's love and peace be with you.
If you go back to the forum you may find the type of thread you're looking for. They all think we're nuts and hard to get along with here. :)
Wow...AMEN!
Go to www.ewtn.com and then go to "Library" and do a search with "Gospel of Life" as criterion. OR...just google it and put in the same thing or "Evangelium Vitae".
Your prayers are really beautiful word-pictures. I would love to have a copy of your compilation when you get it finished.
And thank you, Jesus, we haven't fallen asleep like the disciples did, huh?!! If we did, do you think He would come to US & ask why we're sleeping? Couldn't stay awake for just an hour to pray? Oh Lord, I'm praying & so are all these wonderful folks here at FR!! (I don't know about ya'll, but I welcome him to come to me anytime - and I don't wanna be found sleepin'!!!)
You're right. That is one of the best.
I have felt a calmness all day, had to turn off TV and stay away from the computer. Bought a worship cd and sang praises to our LORD. Stopped my fast and prayed all day for Terri. Thanked God for bringing me closer to him. I don't know what all this means, but I do know this.... GOD is on HIS THRONE!!!!!
Good night, shezza.
Your story sounds like mine this week...I did get laundry done, but only because the laundry room is right around the corner from the puter!
Thank you very much.
I think many of us are experiencing the same thing. I normally try to figure out answers to a problem. I've spent days combing over various Florida statutes hoping I'd find something others, whose job is the law, have missed. I came in from being away at work this afternoon and got distraught at all that has worked against Terri today.
I was extremely angry and came back here to find the prayers, and to listen to those prayers going out with the occasional nudge to quiet down my soul and pray. My anger culminated in letting loose in a post against Satan that he would not have me, or have any of us here. The words tore up from my soul; that's how it felt. I let it go and was trembling as I felt the Lord tell me to calm down, that everything would be alright in the end. It reminded me of that feeling as a child with your parents arms wrapped around you after a booboo. :-)
I've been thinking this all along, and others here validated it; I've had this feeling that this is a choice we're given. God has given us an option through man's torture and mistreatment of Terri. We can choose Life or we can choose death and the forces of evil behind it. I also have this feeling that our choices will be set in stone.
FOFLOL!
Good night sfimom. Glad you joined in.
Pray all you want, but why not on a separate prayer thread? I doubt I'd be all alone since there are many posts here discussing the issues involved without prayers.
Not really. Worry is tiresome. Praying is uplifting. I'm not great with words sometimes but my Father doesn't mind. We could always use another prayer warrior. Want to give it a try?
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have asked you for many favors, but I plead for this one:
That Terri will survive this night and be rescued from her oppressors. That she may return home with her parents. That she will be protected from all evil.
Take it and place it in your open broken Heart, that when the Eternal Father sees it, He will not refuse it.
It is not my prayer but Thine.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee.
Amen.
In my case, He'd probably ask if I want to wake up with another headache in the a.m.! : )
Yes, therr are a few of us on the graveyard shift here the last few nights. My daughter has a midnight curfew and it's only 10 here now, so I'll be here awhile.
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
Refrain
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.
Refrain
I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
Refrain
