I had a post topic all picked out until i read the TWBB and then it changed in an instant when i read about Stacey aka Prin's missing son. I honestly cannot imagine the terror and emotions that she and her family are going through right now. So my post topic seems silly and stupid in light of this event. I want Stacey to know that i am praying for her son's safe return and that i am here for her if she needs it. I know that she honestly has no time to read this, but i am putting it out there for her to read later when her son is safe and sound and tucked in his bed.

I put this prayer from Sandra Griffin here for Stacey and to let her know that i am thinking of her.

Prayer For The Missing Children


Heavenly Father, as in the past,
I come, with heart in hands,
offering love and worship;
Seeking insight to Your plans.

Every day, dear Lord,
Missing children are brought to mind;
So many taken, by one parent or the other.
But, many others we just can't find.

Though, I know, my Heavenly Father,
You have them in Your sight.
They are never lost to You.
Please help them in their fright.

Sweet little faces,
with smiles that melt our heart,
Taken, maybe by some stranger.
That tears our soul apart.

Father God, such wrenching pain~
Almost more than we can bear .
We, as mortals, can cope no more.
So, we give them to You in prayer.

Some, my Lord, I'm sure, have passed
From our earthly house to Yours.
They have crossed the chilly waters
And come to Heaven's shores.

Others, though, we still have hope,
will return to arms of family love,
Here, on earth; still abiding,
Not tome for them to go above.

Lord, be a comforter
For those who wait and mourn.
The grieving parents You gave them,
The child that they had born.

Though unseen to us, my Father,
You know just where they are, today.
Those gathered home to You, now, safe;
It's for the missing that we pray.

Please hold them, Jehovah God
Protect them from the pain.
Tend them all and mercy keep,
And send them home again.

All these things we ask of you.
Please, let us hope, for now.
We know not where they be.
Return them, Father.
To you we leave the how.

We live each wee one, O Lord;
The teenager and those in between~~~
Out of sight from us, my Lord.
But, to You, they are not unseen.

The search will never end.
For, some have gone astray.
Father, watch over them
And send some home today.

Bless the little children, Lord.
Wipe away each frightened tear;
For those who made it home with You
And for those who still linger here.

Whether we find them, Jesus,
Either here, on earth, or over there;
God tell them, every one,
How very much we care.

The never ending search goes on
'Til we meet at Jesus' feet.
'Twill be reunited, there,
And all things, in You, are now complete.

So, Father of mercy, who knows all things,
Hear us as we pray for every one.
May all things be as You have planned
And for the children, may Thy will be done.

Amen
