Prayer Request for my deployed husband (Iraq)

Posted on 07/07/2008 8:51:12 PM PDT by PERKY2004

My wonderful husband (Ron) is in his last week of his fourth tour in Iraq with the USAF (he's a pilot with a special ops unit.) For some reason, I've just been very anxious / sleepless the last few nights worrying about his safety ... he is scheduled to come home in a week, by the way.

* Please pray for his continued safety, for successful missions, and for his timely and hassle-free "out processing" * Please pray for his travel home, including connections and layovers. (He should be on military transport until he reaches the US East Coast, then catches commercial flights home to California.) * Please pray for my peace of mind, anxiety and worry. (I am prone to panic attacks)

And can I say that my wonderful DH is a strong man of God who is in his 25th year of military service? And that I am soooo looking forward to his homecoming?

MOLLY IN CALIFORNIA

Pinging the keepers of the prayer warrior lists...

Dear Lord in Heaven, please watch over Ron as he fulfills his last few days in theater, bring him home safely to his family, and grant them peace with this homecoming. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Molly, you’re a special lady - a military wife - I ask God’s special blessings on you, too. Hang in there...

Dear Molly, I am happy to pray for your husband, Ron, to come home safely from his deployment. Remember breathing exercises so you don’t go into panic attack and try to keep busy. God Bless you both.

Please God bring Ron home safe and sound to his family. Thanks to Ron also for his over and above service to his and our country. He is a real hero PERKY2004 and we know you are very proud of him. We are too and we hope you have a marvelous homecoming. God bless him and all our military and our military wives and families. There’s nothing like them.

Done, Done, and Done.

Thank your husband for us and thank you Molly for your own personal sacrifice for our freedom. I hope that for each day you have been separated from your hero husband that you are blessed with 100 fold more days of being in each other's arms. You are both American heroes; may God bless you both and know that you have the gratitude of this thankful American and my children.

Prayers up!

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.- Isaiah 65:24

Hello, Molly....Hang in there. There are plenty of US out there who care deeply about those that travel off to foreign lands and go in harms way so that we can live freely. Please pass on my thanks and well wishes to your hubby.

And, a very mighty thanks to you too. You contribute to our military efforts in a unique, but no less important way. Know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you also.

I just sent up prayers for Ron and for you. I pray daily for our troops and will mention Ron by name until we hear the good news that he's home. I prayed that you are at peace and free from anxiety. That joy will reign. I will pray this each day.

I'm heading back over there in a couple of days...(sigh...)

Prayers going up for your family. In the meantime, Molly, know that your brave husband has the prayers of untold numbers, and that he is in God’s hands—the best postition to be in always.

Just rest in Him and trust in Him, and we will continue to pray blessings for your family.

I consider it an honor to pray for those who serve our country so selflessly, that includes not only your husband, but his family (YOU!) as well. Thank you!

Hi - will pray for hubby’s safe return.

BTW it’s quite normal to get more anxious the closer the time is to his return. It seems like all the concerns are somehow compressed and focused into this smaller space of time.

Don’t let yourself become a prophet of doom though and speak words of faith towards his return.

Place your deep need into HIS almighty hands. In faith live the coming days at rest, assured HE will arrange for the happy reunion to occur. HE who can do all things knows what you are going through.
As a child with a wonderful dad knows dad will take care of business at hand, let HIM your father in Heaven take care of your need. He will not fail you. And when you falter a bit, do ask for HIM to forgive your lack of faith. HE knows your inner needs more so then you do. And surely HE is a loving and gracious God for those that put their faith in HIM.
