Prayers for him and for you all, too. Please keep us posted.
Prayers...
My sister and I will be praying for Roger and the family members also. And yes, lets remember to really hunker down and pray even more for our troops safety and for the families who have lost dear loved ones. God Bless you and much love.
Prayers being sent to all our brave troops.
Prayers on the way that he be healed quickly and completely. Also prayers for the others in Iraq and their families.
Prayers that Roger has a painless and quick recovery.
Prayers for a speedy, infection-free recovery.
Heavenly Father, I humbly pray that you will hear our prayers for the healing, in body and mind, of Roger and all of our injured, and for the families of those who wait and worry and those who are bearing terrible loss in this, the season of your Son's birth. Have mercy on them, oh Lord.
Sending prayers right now. Dear Lord, please watch over and protect Roger.
Prayers offered for this soldier.
I pray for Roger that God lay His hands upon him, and also to all that are wounded. I pray that all our soldiers are brought home safely.
Prayers for his recovery.
Lord, please protect and bless all of our soldiers fighting this war because we love and worship you. May Your hands be wrapped around them, keeping them safe and strong. Amen
Prayers being sent. I pray that he recovers. I feel such sorrow for those families who have just lost loved ones. This is, indeed, going to be a very hard Christmas for them. It breaks my heart to think about it.
I pray that this thing will be over with sooner than is anticipated. This is an evil enemy we are fighting. In fact, we are fighting evil itself. A freeper posted the following prayer once, and I keep it taped to my desk:
WALKING IN GOD'S ARMOR
(A Prayer for our USA Service)
Lord, we bring before You -
though we may not know each name -
The men and women called to serve.
Lord, they seek no reward or fame.
Lord, grant them wisdom to know Your Word,
And to hide in Your Secret Place.
Keep them in the shelter of Your arms;
Help them seek Your Holy Face.
Though the world may come against them,
Let the arrow that flies by day
Be trampled under feet shod with peace
As they walk in Your steadfast Way.
When they see destruction at noonday,
Lord, give them courage to stand
Holding the Shield of Faith You give
To protect our beautiful land.
Terror may come in the nighttime -
Thousands may fall at their side,
But, Lord we pray You'll protect them -
That in your grace they'll abide.
Help them wield the sword of Your Spirit
To fight for the freedom you give
Whether on the shores of our enemies,
Or in the land where we live.
We know You have heard our prayers, Dear Lord,
As our soldiers take the helmet of salvation.
Guide them in Your righteousness
As they stand proudly defending our nation.
Praying for all of them and their families.
Prayers said for you, your brother and family.
Carol, we're praying real hard!
I am praying for Roger.
Prayers for all.
Prayers for your brave brother, Roger and for all the soldiers and their families. My friends mother is currently in the hospital for repair to her intestines and colon so I am familiar with that surgery and its complications and recuperation. It sounds like he is getting the same treatment, (ie, wound left open, ventilator, heavy sedation, etc.) She is coming through it and I am sure your brother is much younger and stronger. It is wonderful that they did not have to install the bag. That is a good indication. But....the bag is a small price to pay too. Sometimes they even put it in temporarily.
Please keep us updated on his progress.
