Dear Lord,Please restore peace to Vida's heart. Give her understanding and guidance. Help her to trust You. Help her to make wise decisions and give her courage to continue to stand for holiness and for You.
Lord help her to see all of this through your eyes and to glimpse that spiritual battle that rages for the souls of these two young men, and even against she and Austin. Help her to know evil cannot touch her or Austin, as your children. It can however taunt and spout its ugly lies.
Father give Vida spiritual discernment, absolute confidence in You, unshakable faith in You and divine protection by Your mighty angels. Let the prayers of the saints stand in the gap for her now. Lord I pray also that she will not grow weary of taking a stand for righteousness. To accept that there may be suffering and ridicule, but in the end justice will reign.
Your own Son, was tortured and blasphemed by his own created beings. When he deserved our worship and gratitude he received mocking and shame. He took it! Out of love for the lost. He gave up glory and all the worship and adoration due Him, to suffer more than any of us are asked to suffer, for love. And he overcame! And we will too, one day.
Help Vida to live in that constant awareness that one day there will be justice, one day the injustices will be over, and the beauty of our eternal lives will far outweigh the ugliness we have faced on this earth. Help her to stand strong Father. Lift her face to focus on You. Help her to hear You say, "Set your eyes on ME, follow ME, obey ME, and leave the consequences to ME." In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
