Praying for Paige's safe return, and for her family and friends to feel God's loving peace.

 

[itsjustCarla]

Our thoughts and prayers are with Paige and her family for her safe return. Prayers are also with the investigators who are doing their best to find our pampered friend.

 

[lacychef]

Ditto everything already said.....I just pray that she comes home safe & sound & her kids are okay too...

 

[chefkristin]

Dear Lord-please let something new come out today. If it is your will please bring her back safely. Please watch over her children as they really need your presence at this horrible time. Please give them the strength to get through it.

 

[chefheather]

My heart aches for Paige, her children and family. I pray that she is safely returned to those loved ones soon.

Oh, heavenly Father, we reach out to you in this time. One of our dear friends is in trouble and needs you now more than ever. You are already fully aware of exactly what is going on with her. I know that you are right beside her. Please let it be in your will that she is returned home safely to her children, her family, and her friends. It is especially at times like this that we feel truely helpless. We can only look to you for strength and hope. Please be with all who are involved in this case. Give wisdom to those investigating. Give horrible roadblocks to those who may wish to do harm to Paige. Give her the opportunity to escape whatever situation she is in right now. Lord, Please, bring her home safely. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for interceeding on our behalf...especially when we are so sad and scared that we don't even know what words to pray.

I am once again so thankful to be a part of such a loving, and caring group of people like all of you...so many beautiful heartfelt prayers have been shared here. Thank you!

Here is a song that may be comforting...Here is a song we are going to be singing soon at our church:

I Will Lift My Eyes
Artist: Bebo Norman


God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now
God, be near, calm my fear
And take my doubt
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

God, my God, let Mercy sing
Her melody over me
God, right here all I bring
Is all of me
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

Cause You are and You were and You will be forever
The Lover I need to save me
Cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God
So hold me now

I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now

Thanks for posting Kelly... this is one of my favorite songs!

np

That's what made me pick that song as one we would begin to use as a praise and worship song....it is just so beautiful!

I figured the words there are as meaningful as any prayer, and that we all need to keep our focus on the "maker of the mountains we can't climb!" He is the giver of the strength and hope everyone needs right now, espcially Paige.

I am so sad that there's no new (good) news this morning.

I am so sad that there's no new (good) news this morning.

Yea, me, too.
I didn't sleep well last night and finally got out of bed at 6:30 hoping to find some good news. I am shocked this story has not been picked u pby CNN, Nancy Grace and all the other national news stations...

Part of me is surprised by that because of the drama that the news stations don't have it.

I suspect people (newspeople) think due to past circumstances rather than thinking the best of her, it's just a case of running off with money or someone.

Want it on the big news stations? That's easy...there are a few hundred people here. Just start calling all your local news stations and they are bound to start reacting. It's been almost a week since she's been gone and sadly the news isn't out of CO...just think how far someone could take you in a week...

...just if anyone does call their news...keep PC out of it - don't mention it.

 

[pamperedape]

Oh wow. We left town on Monday and I just today saw this. How heartbreaking for those children.

Father, please comfort Paige's children, parents, and other loved ones during this time. Please comfort Paige as well if she is in ANY kind of distress. I ask that she would feel your fatherly arms wrapping around her so that she may be encouraged to keep going and to come home safely.
