Please also remember the words of Yeshua, the Christ, who counseled us, in Mark 11: 22-26

"Have faith in God.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that thou shall receive them, and that shalt have them.
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive your trespasses.
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."

Thus, I ask we reserve this thread for true devotional prayers and requests for prayers, as we as a nation undertake a heavy moral burden.

Psalms
121:3 He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber.
121:4 Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord, unlike man, is a reliable source of help. He gives sure footing when the path is narrow and treacherous. He is always on watch. He never slumbers nor sleeps like human sentries.

It is Lent and therefore I am fasting and praying. Offering my fast and prayers for the military, and peace and change in the hearts of all men. I believe in the power of the Lord and the power of prayer and fasting. May the dear Lord watch over our military, our president, and the world. As per St Paul, pray continuously. I will say the Jesus prayer. On inhalation say, Jesus Christ, son of God and with exhalation say pray for me a sinner. Say this prayer or others continuously over and over or whatever little prayer for our troops, our president and the success of Iraq's disarmament and regime change.

Lord, please bless my dear friend and godfather of my daughter, Rev.Cope Mitchell, and his family. I ask that
the words he gives to all the troops he comes into contact with be exactly what they need to draw ever closer to you, and that they all be protected from the snares of our enemies.

Pray for protection and peace for Trey, David, Cody, and Darby and their families.

They are my adopted soldiers/sailors/marine...some are married with kids.

May God keep them safe and strengthen them for the job ahead.

May God show compassion through them to the people in Iraq who are suffering under the oppressive government.

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walked'st on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

O Trinity of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

---

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly
Through the great spaces of the sky;
Be with them traversing the air
In darkening storms or sunshine fair

Thou who dost keep with tender might
The balanced birds in all their flight
Thou of the tempered winds be near
That, having thee, they know no fear

Control their minds with instinct fit
What time, adventuring, they quit
The firm security of land;
Grant steadfast eye and skillful hand

Aloft in solitudes of space,
Uphold them with Thy saving grace.
O God, protect the men who fly
Thru lonely ways beneath the sky.

---

Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And you, Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl the world for the ruin of souls.

That is so sweet of you! Ross is in Kawait, and Chris is now in 'position'. Ross is a first responder..goes in if something goes wrong with a mission, so his job is very dangerous, no element of surprise, since everyone knows we won't leave anyone behind. Prayers are really needed now!

[RaceBannon]

(James 5:12 KJV) But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

(James 5:13 KJV) Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

(James 5:14 KJV) Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

(James 5:15 KJV) And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

(James 5:16 KJV) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

(James 5:17 KJV) Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

(James 5:18 KJV) And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?

========================================================
As President Bush Spoke this evening of being comforted by the Prayers of thousands of people . .
========================================================

Dear Elijah List Readers,

This list now goes to about 72,000 of you. Please forward this to as many of your friends as you can.

As Our President spoke tonight of being comforted by "thousands" (it's probably literally millions) who are praying for him regarding this potential war with Iraq, I thought of the UN'S resolution 1441 that everyone has talked about . . . the resolution which requires Sadaam Hussein to Disarm or BE disarmed . . .

---I don't know if I heard this somewhere or from someone else (maybe I did and can't remember from whom I heard it) . . . nevertheless, I was suddenly drawn to Psalm 144:1 (from Resolution 1441 -- God doesn't waste ANY word or any thought).

======================
Here is what it says:
======================

Ps 144:1 Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle -- (NKJV)

I felt led to make this call to increase our prayers for President Bush in this hour!

Please forward this to all you know who love to pray for this country.

When the Lord is the ROCK of the King or the President . . . When the Lord Trains his hands for War and his fingers for battle . . ----this is what the Lord (among other things) includes in that training:

1) Brilliant strategies regarding how to overtake the enemy by surprise (Should we need to war with Sadaam Hussein)

2) A Sudden "uncovering" of the enemy's secret plots and vicious plans of attack, both in Iraq and on our USA soil

3) An exposing of accomplices who are not yet known--who are aiding Sadaam against the USA

4) A confusing of the enemy so that he fights against himself--rather than against the USA and her allies

5) Strategies which protect ALL innocents on both sides. In this case, our prayers should be that "IF" we MUST go to war, that the innocents in Iraq are completely protected and the soldiers who are following orders and acting righteously (on both sides) are also protected.

6) That all innocent civilians on U.S. Soil and those of our allies are protected supernaturally.

Pray Psalm 91 regarding the USA and our allies in conflict with Iraq, should war break out Pray Psalm 144:1 regarding the USA and our allies in conflict with Iraq, should war break out

================================================
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THOSE WHO DISAGREE
=================================================

Good people "on both sides" will find themselves in disagreement with how the USA handles this situation. In Prayer, our job is not to judge those who disagree with our going to war (or not). For instance, we must NOT find ourselves criticizing, if a given celebrity is vocal against this war, while another may not be against it. Judgment on our part...as people who pray . . .judgment AGAINST those who disagree with our position (whatever it is) -- is NOT pleasing to the Lord. Confess your judgments against those who disagree and bless them in prayer. That WILL be pleasing to the Lord and will truly "be" Christian.

Pray for President George Bush...according to Psalms 91 (See www.ministriestothenations.org) and Psalm 144:1
