Father, we come to you today in prayer for Michael Schiavo. We don't know what is going on inside his mind or conscience. Father, if he is not saved...we stand in agreement that he receive the gift of salvation soon. Father we thank You for the salvation of Michael Schiavo. We pray Lord that You soften his heart. Someone told me that he is living in the hospice and staying with Terri around the clock. Father, we pray that Terri is able to touch his heart and stir something up inside of him. We lift him up before You in prayer and ask for You to pour out your anointing in the room where he is right now. We pray Lord that You move quicky. Show him that we don't hate him. Show him that we love him too. Father, please give Michael a sign of hope. I pray this in Jesus name...amen

Lord- I pray in agreement for you to touch and change Micheal's heart to do the right thing. Lord, as stated, if isn't saved please permiate his heart with a sincere desire to come to you for Salvation. Do your Will in his heart, mind and life- in Jesus Name- Amen!

For Your glory, dear Heavenly Father, Amen.

Amen.
Dear Lord, we continue to pray and hope for a miracle.
We know it could be by a quick change of heart in Michael or the immediate realization by Judge Greer of some flaw that has happened in the ruling that Terri not be allowed water and food. We don't know just how to pray for Michael and Judge Greer, except to ask You to give direction here. We pray (possibly aided by backgrounds in Lutheran and Baptist churches respectively) that each has a personal relationship with You in accordance with Biblical teachings by faith through Jesus Christ -- with full assurance of salvation and sincere desire to please You.
Could it be that Congress enforces the subpoenas issued? We pray for all who have authority regarding this -- that those who know You are seeking divine guidance and that You get glory. Thank You for the action that was taken. Please do not allow it to have been to no avail.
If there is something Governor Bush or President Bush does have authority to do, please let him know beyond a doubt and have the courage to act. We thank You that they are not in agreement for Terri's being dehydrated and starved to death.
We pray for Terri and her family in this unbelievable experience.
In the mighty name of Jesus our Saviour, Amen.

Lord bring Michale Schiavo to repentence and bring Judge Greer to repentence as well. Let them repent, then break and renounce the covenant with death! Let them tell the spirit of death to leave our country! Lord, we ask for a miracle of salvation for them, and for all others who are not being fair to Terri. Oh, Lord, move QUICKLY!!! In Jesus Name, amen.

Father, I pray for America to have a Godly president. Proverbs 29:2 says the people rejoice when the righteous thrive. According to Proverbs 6: 16 & 17, you hate those who shed innocent blood (those who are pro-abortion). So, Lord, we pray that a RIGHTEOUS person may be our President. Whatever it takes! In Jesus Name, amen.

Father, Moses was on the mountain for 40 days and nights, without eating and drinking. Jesus was in the deseert fasting for 30 days and nights. Thank you Father that this fast Terri is on will only strengthen her and not harm her. Jesus I ask you to bring her bread from heaven and water from the river of life. Let her be only stronger because of her struggle with death. Cause her to triumph over it.

I pray that you would quicken Michael's heart to hear you. Release him from the covenant that he has with death. Make him realize it and renounce it and declare the truth. Spirit of Death and all spirits associated with the spirit of death, your assignments are hereby cancelled. Cease and desist, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth who came in the flesh. Jesus, you are Lord and God raised you from the dead. He that raised up Christ from the dead will also quicken Terri's Mortal body by the Spirit that dwelleth in her.

I ask that the truth would contend with Michael's mind. That he would not be able to rest until he releases her from the bondage that his legal authority holds over her life. Deal with him unmistakably and inescapeably. Let there be no question in his mind.

Psalm 118:1-29
O Terri, give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Terri now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of Schiavo now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Terri called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered her, and set her in a large place. The LORD is on her side; she will not fear: what can man do unto her? The LORD taketh her part with them that help her: therefore shall she see her desire upon them that hate her.




It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed her about: but in the name of the LORD will she destroy them. They compassed her about; yea, they compassed her about: but in the name of the LORD she will destroy them. They compassed her about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD she will destroy them. Thou hast thrust sore at her that she might fall: but the LORD helped her. The LORD is her strength and song, and is become her salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. Terri shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. The LORD hath chastened her sore: but he hath not given her over unto death. Open to her the gates of righteousness: she will go into them, and she will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. She will praise thee: for thou hast heard her, and art become her salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in her eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made; she will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, we beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art Terri's God, and she will praise thee: thou art her God, she will exalt thee. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

20: And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Father God

We pray for Michael now and ask you to be with him. We have no idea the pain he has gone through over the many years and forgive us for judging him and showing unchristian sentiments towards him.

We ask that you would flood him with your love and healing. Father, forgive us for hindering your cause rather than helping by our ill informed, harsh criticisms of a situation we have no real idea about. We have no idea what it has been like to live with this situation all these years. We know that YOU are in control of our lives and we will not die before we are meant to. It says in Psalm 139 'all the days ordained to me were written in your book before one of them came to be'.

You take us home when it is time, you hold the keys of death and hades, no one can take this ultimate decision unless you know it is time.

Thank you for your love to us, even when we are not portraying your love rightly. You are the father who welcomes prodigals home, not with harsh words, but with a hug and tears. The story of the prodigal son shows us this truth about you.

Father, have mercy on us sinners, and help us to show your real heart of love, not narrow 'righteousness', we are in need of forgiveness and mercy.

Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone.

In the name of your dear Son, our Lord Jesus Christ

AMEN

Hope Dims for Schiavo (EXCERPT)
by Pete Winn, associate editor, CitizenLink
With legal options exhausted, it appears it's now a matter of waiting for disabled Florida woman to die.
Terri Schiavo's chances of surviving the latest attempt by her husband and the courts to starve and dehydrate her to death have dimmed to a flicker. Over the weekend, the disabled Florida woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, ended the legal battle to save their daughter—but pleaded with Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to intervene. David Gibbs III, lead attorney for the Schindlers, said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation" that the Schindlers had exhausted their last legal avenue in the seven-year-long legal battle. Both state and federal courts have turned them down on more than one occasion in the last week. "I'm not saying we wouldn't be open to any idea that comes up," Gibbs said, "but at this point, it appears that time has finally run out." Carrie Gordon Earll, senior analyst for bioethics at Focus on the Family, said—as hard as it is to face—time may have also run out for Terri medically. Today marks her 11th day without food or water. "At this point, Terri's organs may have been irreparably damaged by the lack of nutrients and hydration," Earll said. "Even if they tried to save her, they might not be able to."
Still, on Monday, though he did reiterate to reporters the legal battle was over, Bob Schindler virtually begged Gov. Bush to intervene and take custody of his daughter. Schindler told reporters that Terri was very weak, but she was still showing facial expressions and interacting. "She just has incredible strength," Schindler said. "It's not too late for someone to save her. At this point, for her sake, I plead again to the powers that be."
On Sunday, Gov. Bush,....referring specifically to intervention, Bush said: "I can't. I'd love to, but I can't."....However, Tom Fitton, president of Washington, D.C.-based Judicial Watch, said Bush could act....Fitton also believes Congress still has opportunities for legal action....
In the meantime, protests have continued at the Pinellas Park, Fla., hospice where Schiavo is being held. According to media reports, the crowd standing vigil was disruptive Sunday as reports were aired that Schiavo's health was deteriorating. Dr. H. Wayne House, a professor of law at Trinity Law School and president of the Oregon Theological Seminary, said Christians have a prophetic role to play in situations like this one—but must remember they are Christians. "Christians are to make known what is right, what is wrong, what is true, what is false," House said. "We have an obligation to do that and speak it loudly. And as far as civil disobedience is concerned—and the ones that have tried to take water to Terri—I think that has an honored tradition within Christianity for almost its entire history....But it's equally important how Christians stand up for truth, House argued. "Obviously, Christians are not to use violence in order to deal with violence," he said. "I don't think we return the same form of action. I think we should do it peaceably. There is no place here for people to take up arms or guns against the government, or to lash out with a less-than-Christian attitude. I think you do it with a spirit of humility and with a recognition of justice—and you let people know what is right and what is wrong."


Schiavo Weak, Clinging to Life
Protests moved to the White House as a "weak and emaciated" Terri Schiavo entered her 12th day without food or water.
Father Says Schiavo Weak but Responding (EXCERPT)
By Mike Schneider
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (AP) - Described by her father as weak and emaciated, Terri Schiavo clung to life Monday, as police guarded her hospice room and demonstrators prayed outside for last-minute government intervention in the case. Supporters of prolonging the severely brain-damaged woman's life also carried their protests to the White House, while her father repeated his plea that she be kept alive by having a feeding tube reinserted. "She's still communicating, she's still responding. She's emaciated, but she's responsive,'' Bob Schindler told reporters after a morning visit with his daughter, saying that she showed facial expressions when he hugged and kissed her. George Felos, the attorney for husband and guardian Michael Schiavo, told reporters later that he had visited Schiavo for more than an hour Monday and said she looked "very peaceful. She looked calm.'' "I saw no evidence of any bodily discomfort whatsoever,'' Felos said, although he added her breathing seemed "a little on the rapid side'' and her eyes were sunken. Felos said the hospice room was decorated with flowers, had music playing and that Schiavo had a stuffed tabby cat under one arm.
He also said that the chief medical examiner for Pinellas County, Dr. John Thogmartin, had agreed to perform an autopsy. He said her husband wants definitive proof showing the extent of her brain damage. Michael Schiavo contends his wife told him years ago she would not want to be kept alive artificially under such circumstances. An attorney for Schiavo's parents, David Gibbs III, said her family also wants an autopsy. "We would certainly support and encourage an autopsy to be done with all the unanswered questions,'' Gibbs said.
The parents pressed again for President Bush, Congress and the president's brother Gov. Jeb Bush to intervene to have the feeding tube reinserted. A small group of supporters protested outside the White House gates. As Schiavo drew closer to death, extra police officers blocked the road in front of the Florida hospice, and an elementary school next door was closed so students could avoid the crowd. About 100 protesters were on hand Monday with signs and renewed prayers. Some in the crowd mocked the police by goose-stepping like Nazis.
President Bush's aides have said they have run out of legal options.
Gov. Bush said Monday that while it "made sense'' to have federal courts review the case, he had to respect their decisions last week not to order the tube reinserted. Jeb Bush later told Associated Press Television News that state lawmakers should closely examine issues of guardianship and when a feeding tube can be removed "if there's not an advance directive'' such as a living will.
At least two more appeals filed by the state seeking the feeding tube's reconnection were pending, but those challenges were before a Florida appeals court that had rejected the governor's previous efforts in the case.
Schindler said he feared the consequences of morphine that has been used to relieve his daughter's pain. "I have a great concern that they will expedite the process to kill her with an overdose of morphine because that's the procedure that happens,'' he said. Felos disputed that, saying that hospice records show Schiavo was given two low doses of morphine - one on March 19 and another on March 26 - and that she was not on a morphine drip. The records show that the second dose was given after nurses noticed "light moaning and facial grimacing and tensing of arms,'' he said. Hospice spokesman Mike Bell said federal rules kept him from discussing Schiavo specifically, but said "a fundamental part of hospice is that we would do nothing to either hasten or postpone natural death.'' Comfort measures, including morphine drips, are used in consultation with a patient's guardian, physician and hospice care team, Bell said.

Appeals Court to Consider Schiavo Request (EXCERPT)
By Ron Word, Associated Press Writer
In a rare legal victory for Terri Schiavo's parents, a federal appeals court agreed to consider their request for a new hearing on whether to reconnect their severely brain-damaged daughter's feeding tube. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta issued a written ruling without comment late Tuesday granting the emergency motion, but did not indicate when it would consider rehearing the case.
~ ~ We praise Thee, Lord, giving thanks in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and asking for timely action. Amen. ~ ~
Last week, the same court twice ruled against Schiavo's parents, who are trying to keep their daughter alive....The request for a new hearing also asks to have the tube reinserted immediately "in light of the magnitude of what is at stake and the urgency of the action required." Tuesday's decision was a ray of hope for the Schindlers, who have lost a string of court battles over their daughter's fate. The case has wound its way through six courts for seven years; the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene five times. Protesters keeping a 24-hour vigil outside the hospice praised the latest order....The request contends that the federal court in Tampa had "committed plain error when it reviewed only the state court case and outcome history."...."I think the courts want to be sure that there's no accusation that any legal argument was ignored," said attorney Neal Sonnett, former chairman of the American Bar Association's criminal justice section. Federal courts were given jurisdiction to review Schiavo's case after Republicans in Congress pushed through unprecedented emergency legislation aimed at prolonging Schiavo's life. But federal courts at two levels have rebuffed the family....First lady Laura Bush...commented on the case Tuesday, saying the government was right to have intervened on behalf of Schiavo. "It is a life issue that really does require government to be involved," Bush said...

Consumer Advocate Ralph Nader, Author Wesley Smith call Upon Florida Courts, Gov. Bush and Concerned Citizens to Take any Legal Action Available to let Schiavo Live
WASHINGTON, March 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Consumer Advocate Ralph Nader and Wesley J. Smith, author of the award winning book "Culture of Death: The Assault on Medical Ethics in America" call upon the Florida Courts, Governor Jeb Bush and concerned citizens to take any legal action available to let Terri Schiavo live. "A profound injustice is being inflicted on Terri Schiavo," Nader and Smith asserted today. "Worse, this slow death by dehydration is being imposed upon her under the color of law, in proceedings in which every benefit of the doubt-and there are many doubts in this case-has been given to her death, rather than her continued life."
Among the many injustices in this case, Nader and Smith point to the following:
The courts not only are refusing her tube feeding, but have ordered that no attempts be made to provide her water or food by mouth. Terri swallows her own saliva. Spoon feeding is not medical treatment. "This outrageous order proves that the courts are not merely permitting medical treatment to be withheld, it has ordered her to be made dead," Nader and Smith assert.
The medical and rehabilitation experts are split on whether Terri is in a persistent vegetative state or whether Terri can be improved with therapy. There is only one way to know for sure- permit the therapy. That is the only way to resolve all doubts.
The court is imposing process over justice. After the first trial in this case, much evidence has been produced that should allow for a new trial-which was the point of the hasty federal legislation. If this were a death penalty case, this evidence would demand reconsideration. Yet, an innocent disabled woman is receiving less justice. The federal and state governments are spending billions on what we are told will become miracle medical cures for people with all sorts of degenerative conditions, including brain damage. If this is so, why not permit Terri's parents and siblings who want to care for her do so in the hope that such cures are discovered? Benefits of doubts should be given to life, not hastened death. This case is rife with doubt. Justice demands that Terri be permitted to live.

Lieberman Backs Life for Schiavo
Former Democratic vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman says if it were up to him, he'd reinsert Terri Schiavo's feeding tube in order to keep her alive.
"You would have kept the tube in?" asked NBC's "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert. Lieberman, a Demcoratic U.S. senator from Connecticut who ran as his party’s vice presidential nominee in 2000, replied, "I would have kept the tube in." The exchange
