FGGAM received this prayer need from Grace Cordova of Albuquerque…..let us pray for this 18 year old girl, Edith and for Mexico as a country. I am sorry that at this time we do not have a last name or a picture, but God knows all. Let us pray for Edith and Mexico this morning and all days, in Jesus name, Amen! 
Dearest Dewey…
A dear friend shared with me the heart breaking story of her great-niece, Edith M., who has been abducted out of a retail store in a small town in Zacatecas, Mexico this past weekend.
Edith is 18, and was last seen shopping alone in a store. Edith is a student, dedicated to her studies and devoted to her family, and they are heartbroken by this tragic abduction. Edith is also a devout follower of Jesus.
To further compound this tragedy, the family has already been extorted of a large sum of money by someone claiming to have their daughter. In desperation, they paid the money in the hopes of her return, but received only more heartbreak as she has not yet been returned and there has been no other sign of hope that she might be.
The local police have been trying to help but their recources are limited. And federal authorities would not (by law) get involved until 72 hours had passed, which was today. God willing, they will find her. But as you can imagine the family is utterly devastated.
And so, Dewey, I have to ask for you help, and that of your powerful prayer warriors. At this point, only our Father God can help. And I pray from my heart, the heart of a mother, that our Lord will help this young woman and bring her home. Please send this out to our brothers and sisters in Christ. So, so many young women, and men, and children have gone missing in Mexico. Is it any wonder so many are trying to find refuge and the promise of safety in another country?!
But Edith was not. She lived a good, wholesome life with her family, in Mexico, attending church services regularly and working hard to complete her studies and perhaps one day, marry and start a family of her own.
In Jesus’ name, I pray with my whole heart that God might grant this wish for Edith. We should also pray for peace in Mexico and for the many dissappeared, that such tragedies may stop and families may remain intact and at peace. And also for our own precious children, where ever they may wander.
Merciful Father, You understand a parent’s love and devotion… Please watch over our children, keep them safe and pour your loving grace and protection over them all. And please, bring Edith home! In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Grace Cordova-Kalberer
Thank you Grace for having us pray for Edith and Mexico, we pray for a powerful movement of the Holy Spirit! Amen!
