We had a request for prayers from two of our FReepers at the end of Thread 8.

This from Alamo-Girl:

"My great nephew who is in the Army reserve, will be leaving for Iraq on the 17th. We don't know any more at this time. I'd appreciate his name being placed on the pray-for list!"

This from Ragtime Cowgirl:

"Asking Freepers to please say a special prayer for newlywed Cheney Chick as she travels to CA today for additional training before heading to the ME after New Years."

Our Blessed Father God,

We have two of our own going into battle shortly, Alamo-Girl's great nephew and Freeper Cheney Chick.

We lift these young people up to you, Lord God, and request your merciful blessings of protection upon them.

Father, surround Alamo-Girl's great nephew and Cheney Chick with the light of your love woven with our prayers into prayer blankets made especially for them and charged with protection and the armor of Light according to their individual need. We petition you for a team of angels to be with them at all times to guide, guard, direct, and protect them. May these two special young people be granted the grace of extraordinary courage, strength, wisdom, and all which is needful for them to completely fulfill their duties and missions. Keep them safe and bring them home victorious.

Father, we call forth a special blessing upon Cheney Chick, who is a newly wed. Bless her marriage and both of their entire families during this time of upcoming separation. Let them understand how truly grateful we all are for the sacrifice of this young couple.

We call forth a special blessing for and on behalf of Alamo-Girl's great nephew and entire family. Grant them and all waiting families the special grace of extraordinary faith and peace. Assure all our troops' families that YOU are indeed the One In Charge, and Your Will is always good, even if at times we dont understand or immediately appreciate the fruits of your Will. Help all of these families separated by war with physical assistance as needed, and emotional support. In the absence of those things, please send the love of our hearts by your direct touch to them and reassure them and lift them up in dark and difficult times. If there is a small task or devotion which is in our individual power to perform in their behalf, please bring it to our attention. Help us to hear your quiet voice and gentle nudge at our elbow so we may be obediant to your promptings.

We ask for your perfect Will to be done in the lives of these two young people, in the lives of all our troops and allies, and all their families. All which have called forth for these two young troops, we call forth for all. We thank you for hearing our prayers, and we lovingly anticipate watching the unfoldment of your Will and Plan.

amen
