God protect our troops. Please add the following three young men to the prayer list who lived in my neighborhood:

Jason, USN, possibly headed soon to Kuwait
Justin, USN
Jack, USN

[patriciaruth]

I will remember you daily and be one of many supporting you with prayers. We expect you to do your part, however, and keep your eye on the ball. ;-)

Love,
Patty

[patriciaruth]

Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, prayer is the very best one.

Bump!

Lord God, we pray for our leaders. Please grant them wisdom and protect them.

President George W. Bush
Prime Minister Tony Blair
Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar

Lord God, we pray for the suffering people of Iraq. Please bless them and have mercy on them.

Especially we remember fatima's friends in Baghdad -- Karen, Jim, Patty, and Adam.

[patriciaruth]

The words of this song sing in my heart and mind.

Our God is an awesome God!
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power and love.
Our God is an awesome God!

Thanks for the ping Patti,

I pray for our troops every day, I pray for God to watch over them and that they return home safe. I always remember what Ronald Reagan was quoted as saying, "Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway". I pray that they know how much we all pray for them.

[Mo1]

Oh wow Patriciaruth .. the list is getting longer .. I'm still praying my heart for them all

[Victoria Delsoul]

Amen.

[patriciaruth]

Ping.

[patriciaruth]

the list is getting longer

It is at once inspiring and frightening and sobering how long the list is. And this isn't the only prayer thread.

[netmilsmom]

Thanks for the ping! I'm with you.

[patriciaruth]

Some words of President Harry S. Truman that GretchenEE found:

"But all of us--at home, at war, wherever we may be--are within the reach of God’s love and power. We all can pray. We all should pray. We should ask the fulfillment of God’s will."

[patriciaruth]

Ping.

[AFPhys]

Praise you my Lord God, King of the universe.

Remember all our friends and countrymen, our soldiers and leaders, in this time of strife. Be with us all and guide us and guard us in this troubled time.

We ask this in Jesus' Holy Name.

Amen.

Thank you patriciaruth for your perseverence on our behalf.
