The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Psalm 23, NIV
"IT was his last wish: to walk unshackled and confidently, rosary beads hidden in his grip, to the gallows.
After a day of tears and goodbyes, and a night of prayer, Australian drug-trafficker Nguyen Tuong Van had accepted his fate and was ready to be hanged at 6am (9am AEST) today in Singapore's Changi prison.
The former Melbourne salesman, 25, was said yesterday to be frightened by the method of his death but comforted by his newfound Christian faith in going to "somewhere good"."
Excert from the Australian
Do take a few minutes to remember Tuong Van in prayer. May the Lord strengthen him and keep him safe in a place where there is true freedom and rejoicing. Pray also for his family and friends too.
