“As it starts to get late tonight, please ladies lets each take a moment to pray for Mirisa who is still missing.:
She offered the following prayer:
“Lord, You are not just our Creator but our loving Father, tonight we pray that you would put your strong mighty arms around Mirisa and keep her safe. Speak Your sweet truths in her heart and guide her own home. Your love for Your daughter stretches beyond human understanding and we thank You for that, Lord. Protect her, put a hedge of protection around her entire being. Holy Spirit, please, speak strength and comfort into Mirisa's parents' hearts. I ask that Your Hope would be made full in them tonight and help them to rest IN You. Sew Your peace and courage in their hearts tonight. May they draw strength from You and rest in Your hands. Sooth their minds. Please, Lord, be the Lighthouse that leads Mirisa home.”
