Father Thank You for getting the Persistence and her crew to Aruba safely, and guiding them through the tough times they faced at sea.
Lord, please keep your angels close to them while they are there, and watch over them while they face difficult times yet ahead. Please give them your strength, your wisdom, and your heart to persevere against all odds. Please block Satan and his evil workers while this group of people search for Natalee and I would ask please that you guide them to Natalee and let them bring her home. Lord, through you anything is possible, so I am praying boldly and asking you now for a miracle. Through you we know that anything is possible, and Natalee and her family deserve some peace, please help this search crew give that to them by finding Natalee.
And Lord, I would also ask that you cause those who are responsible for this tragedy to be made accountable for their evil deeds.
Lord I place this problem at your feet, and put the safety and success of the Persistence and her crew in your hands.
I love you Lord, and I thank you for all your many blessings.
In your Holy name I pray.
Amen

To the crew of the Persistence - I have asked God to protect you, and guide you as you search for Natalee. It's in His hands now, and I have faith that He will help you to find her and bring her home.

You are true heroes. In this terrible dark tragedy that is Natalee's disappearance, you are all a bright ray of hope and caring. God Bless you all.

Father God, Lord and Sustainer of the Universe,

Lord,
Oh, that You would bless and keep all those searching for Natalee.  Protect them and their vessel.  Guide the work of their hand.  Yes, Lord, guide the work of their hands.  Lord, make a way for them to find all that is there, for with You nothing is impossible.

Lord,
May You sustain with peace all those grieving for Natalee: her mother Beth, father Dave, stepparents, brother, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, friends, teachers, church family, and neighbors.

Lord,
May Natalee know Your peace.

Lord, Just Judge
Oh, that You would bless and keep all those seeking justice for Natalee.  Lord, make a way for justice for Natalee, for with You nothing is impossible.

All this I ask in Jesus’ precious name.

Amen

Jesus, I ask in your precious Name, that your will be done. You have said if more than two are gathered in yur name you will hear our prayers. I know you hear ours. I thank you for bringing Natalee home and allowing for some peace and closure. I know you will deal with her killers in your time. All I ask of you, Jesus, I know you will deliver because you and YOU alone made this ocean search possible. I praise you and lift up your HOLY name.

I just wanted to let the crew of The Persistence know that they are in my prayers today, and every day, as long as the search lasts.

May God Bless them and keep them safe, and help them to find Natalee.

Father, there have been many prayers from sincere hearts that the work of your hand in your child, Natalee, not be left in obscurity. We accept your Sovereignty and enter into your presence to ask on behalf of all that love Natalee, for her remains be found and given to the love and keeping of her family.

We thank you, Father, for those whose hearts have led them to sacrifice for this cause. Let them be an instrument for your purpose. Guide them Lord, protect and bless them and their work. Thank you for the miracle of sacrifice that these searchers have already brought to this ordeal. Out of all the evil that has been brought to light, there are searchers who are spending Christmas away from their families, on a working ship for a child they never met.

I have no idea of their respective beliefs, but I know that their fruits have already born witness to your love. Please God, manifest yourself in a miracle through them. I ask in Jesus' name. Amen

Father,
Out on the waters, far away from their home this Christmas, is a group of pure hearted brave men. You know exactly where they are, just as you know where the child they seek was left. She is your child by her decision and your divine promise, Beth and Dave's by birth, and our sister in your Son. She has become a daughter to the World through the circumstances of her death and it's shock of the eternal conflict between good and evil.

Lord, we have explored the evil trying to untangle the web of lies, hate, and debauchery with one goal. We have sought to right the wrong to every extent possible; our hearts have yearned to bring hope, and justice to her family through whatever means we had available to us.

At this moment, that group of searchers is seeking to bring comfort to Natalee's family, and by your infallible word, that cause is aligned to your purpose. These men are exhibiting your perfect love through their own sacrifice for a child they do not know. You defined that sacrificial love of us all through your Son, whose birth we honor this day. Please God, guide the ship, whisper to the crew, bless the answer to the call, for these men have responded to your voice to help others at no gain to themselves. Please Lord, let them find her remains and bring her home away from the evil and deliver her into the safekeeping of her family.

Lord, I thank you for sending these men and pray that you will somehow let them know that our eyes watch with warm hearts touched by their unselfishness and skill they are lending to this purpose. Indeed, if they return without her, their effort has already been a beautiful tribute to good, and a light to answer the darkness surrounding what happened to Natalee.

We pray for your hand to allow them to bring her out of Aruba, out of the evil, and away from the clutches of that place. That is not where you placed her, Lord. Please bring her home. You have instructed us that sometimes we do not have, because we do not ask. I'm asking, Father. Please help these men bring her home. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Monday (Dec. 31), is my birthday and anniversary. I am asking my family and friends to say a prayer that Natalee will be returned to her family.  That is my wish and my prayer for my birthday.  Being a mother myself, I couldn't ever imagine not knowing where my child is, if they are cold, hungry, or need me. It is my prayer that Nat's family have some kind of closure to the heartache they have had for the last two and a half years!

To the crew of the Persistence -  You continue to be in my daily prayers. God must surely be proud of your heroic efforts to help a suffering family. You are all the best examples of true Christian caring in action.

Dear Lord,
Please be with our friends out on the sea on the ship Persistence.  Please guard and protect them with your love and guide them in your way.  I pray that you will renew their strength and assist them with their needs that you alone know.  I ask that you forgive me of my many sins and shortcomings.  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen.

Dear Lord, please surround the Persistence and its crew with your light, guide them on their journey, protect them from harm.  Let the Holy Spirit keep their faith strong so their faith can keep them strong as they try to bring peace to those who loved one of your children, Natalee Holloway.  In Jesus name I pray.

Father,
I come in thanksgiving for the answers that you have caused the family of Natalee Holloway to have and in anticipation of your bountiful Blessings to further your miracles in this case. You know the hearts and sacrifices of the crew on the ship who are tirelessly looking for Natalee's remains. I believe that you placed them where they are, and I believe that they are standing where they are in faith and expectation in obedience. Lord move your hand and speak the miracle that affirms your Sovereignty over all evil! Your handwriting on events is always more than is fathomed, and I pray and ask in Jesus' name that you allow these men to bring Natalee's remains home to her family!

Keep them in health, and give them solice in the task they are undertaking. Make your presence known to them and strengthen their resolve. Please Jesus, bring them blessings and success in their mission!

I thank you for the inspiration and witness they are to the world, for through them, we learn of your nature. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Mark 11: 22-25 The words of Jesus:
Have faith in God. 23) Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24) Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25) And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."  

Lord, please be with the crew of the Persistence.  Keep them safe from harm and guide them to complete the difficult task they have undertaken.  Help them bring one of your children home to her family.  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen.

Father, please help us to be able to stop mourning for our own selfish desires to be with Natalee and to instead be able to celebrate our memories of the time we had with her, allowing us to cherish those memories with smiles and laughter, as well as with a deep appreciation of your goodness to grant us the time we did have with her. Help us to celebrate the fact that Natalee is where we all hope to be one day, and to be happy that our little girl is in a place so grand, with no longings for us, completely content to be at your side. We are weak, but with your guidance we can become strong, and we can and want accomplish your will. Your presence is overpowering, your existence is undeniable, as we have all been led to this point by your plan and we all stand united, focused, and ready to serve. The Persistence, the crew, Tim and Co, Peter, Patrick, all of Beth's supporters, and Beth, made strong by your love, are all standing strong with the girl listening as intently as our ears can hear, looking as deeply as our eyes and souls will see, waiting on the gentle but firm guidance that radiates from you to us, unveiling your plan for this affair. We are here to serve you. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, Amen.
