Please forgive me for reposting this but I am trying to get a huge response. I want to get a copy of the responses and prayers to the family.

A co-worker of mine has lost an inlaw in Iraq. The exact relationship to him does not matter. I come to you and ask for your prayers for his family. What fallows is his name and info that is already in the media.

Psalm 23

Since September 11, the hymn "Press On" has become something of an anthem at my church. We sang it again Sunday. There are times when pressing on is the best we can do. Rejoicing can only come with time and His healing power.

PRESS ON

When the valley is deep,
When the mountain is steep,
When the body is weary,
When we stumble and fall.

When the choices are hard,
When we're battered and scarred,
When we've spent our resources,
When we've given our all.

CHORUS
In Jesus' name, we press on,
In Jesus' name, we press on,
Dear Lord with the prize, clear before our eyes,
We find the strength to press on.

Forgetting all that lies behind us
And straining towards all that lies before.
We press on towards the mark of the high calling
That is ours in Christ our Lord.

(Repeat CHORUS)

CODA
Dear Lord, dear Lord with the prize,
Clear before our eyes,
We find the strength, we find the strength,
We find the strength to press on...
To press on...

I pray these families feel the true comfort of God's loving promises during this time of deep sadness and grief, and know, really know, He holds them in the palm of His hand.

Press On

My heart breaks for the loss of our finest men, and most especially for their families. The depth of their grief is beyond words, but countered by the joy in Heaven upon receiving our very, very best.

Please heal our hearts, dear Lord.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint. ~Isaiah 40:30,31

May God comfort those who are left behind, and accept the gratitude of our nation for the sacrifice made by this young man.
