It's 6 p.m. here in Okinawa; my kids are eating dinner, I've got cookies in the oven, and a lump in my chest. My face is burning. I sent an e-mail to him saying I just need two words: "I'm safe." I pray to hear them from him in a few hours. He usually calls after our 2-year-old and 3-month-old go to bed. The 3-month-old he's never met.
I'm on my knees praying!
Praying hard
Dear Inspectorette and Family,
Sending Prayers to the Throne of Grace and Mercy for Your Husband and the Brave Men and Women of the 31st MEU.
This is heartbreaking news and not enough information is coming forth.
The Marines and Soldiers who have been lost in this tragic accident are with The LORD and are serving Him in Glory.
I Pray for their Loved Ones and all the Families who are grieving.
Please keep us posted if you can.
And Please keep Your Eyes on The LORD.
We shall Hope and Pray for the Best.
May GOD Bless and Keep You and Your Family in His Love, Grace and Shalom...His Perfect and Abiding Peace.
My prayers are with you and your family.
Prayer for Those Who Await a Soldier’s Return
God of all goodness, look with love on those who wait for the safe return of their loved ones who serve in the armed forces of their country. In faith and hope, we turn to you for comfort. Grant that we may trust in your mercy and send an angel to sustain us as we await their safe return. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
For the Safety of Soldiers
Almighty and eternal God, those who take refuge in you will be glad and forever will shout for joy. Protect these soldiers as they discharge their duties. Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep them safe from all evil and harm. May the power of your love enable them to return home in safety, that with all who love them, they may ever praise you for your loving care. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Linda
