Lord,
at this time of waiting,
how odd that it coincides with the waiting you did
at Gethsemane,
bring our hearts back to your watching,
while we wait,
and pray,
and watch and hope
for our sister Terri
and her family
this dark night.
Knowing our only true response
is the prayer your prayed to the Father so long ago:
Not my will, but Thine.
Help us learn to submit to your will,
putting all into your hands
this night,
and always,
O my Jesus, have mercy,
Amen.
...Thy will be done....
