We come to you pleading for your intercession in the battle raging in and around the town of Fallujah, Iraq. We understand that there have been heard a number of large explosions, and there has been action from our air force.
Father, we are following the admonition of General Patton, who instructed his men that prayer is the key to battle. It is the lynch pin which allows us to place into the hands of our FAther all the unforeseen things which can happen in a fire fight. We do indeed ask that you shall take command of this action, beloved Father! We ask that you will protect each and every one of our beloved troops and allies who are involved. We call forth an immediate strengthening of their spiritual and physical armor. FAther, spare the lives and limbs of these beloved young people who place themselves on the line to protect their own nation and the spirit of Freedom in Iraq and the other nations for whom they are fighting. We invoke miracles of protection and mercy! We invoke legions of your protection angels to enter the fray! Let the legions of Victory come forth and bless our young people who are fighting this day!
Father, place your all-seeing eye upon the ones who are the thugs and forces of anti-Freedom. Expose their positions to our armed forces! Expose the bankruptcy of their ideas and politics to the Arabs and peoples of Iraq and the Middle East! Father, we know that you have a Plan and a Vision. We invoke that Plan and Vision and call forth from your own hand the intercession of legions of your angels to bring it forth into manifestation!!
Father, we thank you for hearing our prayers. Comfort and bless those who have loved ones in danger. Hold them close and grant them peace, courage, and faith while they are awaiting news of their loved ones.
Take our prayers, Father, and multiply them! If our prayers are not enough by themselves, supply the lack! Enfire us with a consuming fervor and the certitude that all shall go well; that you are the One in command! Thank, you Father, for being so approachable, and yet so Mighty. We pray and hold vigil and await the outcome. We feel the rustling of the Holy Spirit. Let that rustling turn into a mighty Wind of Freedom and Victory there in Fallujah!
As always, we ask that our prayers will be adjusted according to thy Will, for we would not pray amiss.
Amen
