US Soldiers in Iraq & Afganistan

let them know your presence, Lord

Dear Lord,
So many good men and women are asked to put themselves in danger in their jobs as soldiers, and so many are finding themselves in danger every day. The are constantly brought to mind by the reports in the press of our leaders deliberating on Iraq. The soldiers work faithfully. Give them your protection, Lord, be a shield and a fortress to them, not only to their physical safety, but to their spirit, so that they can cope with the dangers their jobs entail, can comfort and uphold one another and can advance your purposes in the world.

Lately, it seems that the danger facing these soldiers is increased. Lord be their shield, especially now in the approach of the day of Thanksgiving, and the celebration of Your birth.

We know that you have upheld them to this very moment and with faith rejoice that you will ocntinue to do so.

Especially be with L & T as T prepares to go to Iraq in February. Give them abundant love, be with them and all their family.

Comfort those who have joined the circle.

Amen

My friend has requested that his nephew, Lee Mathias, be put on a prayer list. He was wounded in Iraq yesterday. They don't many details, but they do know that he has severe head injuries.

I also pray for the soldiers who protect us. Many are barely adult. Just out of high school. Please support them emotionally and physically and bless them and their families.

Heavenly Father - We ask a special blessing and protection for each one of our soldiers willing to put their lives on the line for the freedom and protection of others. We thank You for each of these soldiers and especially pray for the salvation of those who do not know You as their Savior and are in harms way. We pray for those in leadership positions making the decisions regarding this war, especially for our President. Please guide their thoughts and decisions. We pray You will end this war soon but You will keep us ever mindful of the lives that had to be given in not only this war but in past wars that we may have the freedoms we enjoy in the United States and the fact that this country was founded based on Christian beliefs. Let us not forget the families of those who have given their lives in this war, be with them and give them Your peace which passes all understaning. Bless each one who comes to you in prayer and hear our prayers, O Lord, Creator of All the Universe and those who dwell therein.
We ask these things in the Name of Your Son and our Saviour, Jesus Christ

Gracious Father in heaven!

We thank You for Your continuing protection of – and fellowship with – the Christian soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well their comrades in arms and friends.

Please let Your Holy Spirit remind us to pray continuously for them; even as the church prayed continuously for the Apostle Peter when he was imprisoned for 7 days by Herod who was determined to kill him after having killed his fellow apostle James. You rescued Peter by the hand of Your angel in answer to the prayers. Prayer is our field of battle, even as the soldiers are in harm’s way by bullets and bombs, treachery and terror.

We have to pray continuously and fervently so that we may get to know You more intimately – that You are our Living God, with awesome power, amazing, unsearchable wisdom and infinite love; that You are rewarder of those who diligently seek You. [Hebrews 11:6]

I would like to share with all praying for their loved ones or any who lost a loved one this inspirational message: http://wandascountryhome.com/thehonored/

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens and earth!

In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
