Military Prayer PING

Psalm 23 for
1LT Laura Margaret Walker, and
Sgt. Robert G. Davis

1.   The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

2.   He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3.   He restoreth my soul;
he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.

4.   Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.

5.   Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup Runneth over.

6.   Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of
the Lord for ever.

God Bless, and
Thank You For Serving

Prayer for the Troops

Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they
perform for us in our time of need.
Honor them when their lives are
Bravely given for us and their country.
I ask this in the name of Jesus,
our Lord and Savior.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Amen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

REST IN PEACE
