FREEPERS APPRECIATE PRAYERS -- and WE appreciate THEM!:

I have received a freepmail from CheneyChick. She had the following to say, which I have permission to post:

"I can't tell you how much it means to have support and prayers here. It brings me great strength and I know I'll be drawing from it over the months to come. I'm happy to be home for Christmas."

CheneyChick, we are so happy that your training went well, and that you will be home for Christmas! Please check in with us when you have a chance while you are over there in the sand box! You can count on our continued prayer support.

Freeper Chong has posted:

"Chris Kollhoff, my nephew, is back home from Iraq for two weeks of R&R. Thank you for keeping up the prayer vigil. We appreciate you. "

We are so honored to be able to pray for Chris and all our young heroes, Chong. We are grateful that your family will be able to enjoy his presence for the Christmas celebrations. Thank you for letting us know. We pray for his safety in all his travels. Please let him know how much we do appreciate his service.

That last statement is true for ALL of you out there who have a young hero! PLEASE convey to them that they are loved and prayed for!

A Freeper, whose identity I am not allowed to divulge, has made a specific prayer request for his/her unit which is involved in the "winning hearts and minds" operations.

"Specifically, I would ask prayers for wisdom in creating a compelling message in the leaflets, handbills, posters and radio broadcast scripts, etc., we will be creating. Our goal is to save as many lives and bullets as possible and let the people know we are there to help."

Thank you, unknown FReeper for letting us know what we need to pray for.

Blessed Merciful Father,

We are grateful for the young people like Cheney Chick, all our loved ones on our list, and all who serve in our nation's and allies' military. We hold all our troops and our support personnel before your throne. Father, we hold each one of them in our hearts and we care deeply about each one.

We ask that you will hold our Cheney Chick and her new husband in your arms throughout the commitment of her service, especially during these early days of their new marriage. We are so grateful for their sacrifice in placing their nation's hour of need before their own. Bless them and grant them many happy beautiful years together.

Bless, Father, Chong's Chris. Protect him in all his travels while he is on his R&R. Clear the way so that the travel schedules are efficient and he is not held up in an airport or any other station, thereby losing valuable family time. This which we call forth for Chris, we call forth for all our young fighters.

We have a specific request for prayer from one of our friends who must remain publicly anonymous, but you know very well the identity and heart of this one. We ask that any and all prayers this one gives asking you for wise guidance and protection will be granted as well as multiplied and supported by our own prayers. Let their outreach be based on the Higher Principles of your Law, as much as can be done. Let these who are sometimes working with Civil Affairs and Special Ops be protected if they are ever in harm's way. Father, we ask that you will overshadow all who are involved in the "hearts and minds" operations. Let them be extraordinarily wise and creative in getting their message out to the Iraqi people. Help them come up with innovative, positive means and methods for achieving their goals to save as many bullets and lives as possible. Let the Iraqi's know of a certitude that we are there to help as much as is humanly possible. We ask you to supply the divinely possible part! :-)

We ask, Father, that you will take our prayers and multiply them as much as your Great Law will allow so that the equations of Light and your Presence on this earth may be increased. We ask that any and all constructive prayers raised up by sincere people everywhere somehow be multiplied and supported by our own prayers. We ask that you will adjust ALL our prayers so that they are perfect and in accordance with your Divine Will.

We thank you for hearing us and we ask that you will grant our brothers and sisters in uniform special Christmas/Hanukah miracles this year, both great and small!

Amen
