Troop Prayer Thread 4

Posted on 03/28/2003 11:26:53 PM PST by TEXOKIE

Welcome to the Troop Prayer Thread! We gather here together in the belief that "whereever two or more are gathered in my name, there am I," and that by the grace of God, group prayer effort can be a great force for good in the world.

We are listing here members of the active armed services known to us for whom we want to pray. We are also seeking to keep track of the Captured/MIAs here for prayer purposes.

If you would like to submit someone for our list, you are welcome to do so at any time. Post their name or pseudonym here on the thread or freepmail amom or myself. If we have made any errors, please let us know so that we may correct the list. We will be making periodic updates. If you want to be added or removed from the ping list please let amom or me know by freepmail.

We invite everyone, active Freepers and Lurkers alike to join our circle in prayer for these fine men and women who have volunteered to place their lives on the line for the defense of our nation and for the liberation of the oppressed peoples of other nations. To them we send our greatest respect and gratitude. We send them our prayers and good thoughts. We ask for God's blessing upon them and their families.

For those of us who have somewhat limited computer capacity, we request that graphics be limited to pictures of loved ones for whom we are offering prayers, special visuals that seem particularly appropriate, and as much as possible, non-moving graphics. Thank you.

The brave men and women who have been captured or are missing.

That prayer was absolutely beautiful. Thank you. We ask for His intervention so many times, but forget to PRAISE Him when good things happen.

How eloquent. Thank you... Vets

Beautiful prayer I was pinged to. Yesterday was a wonderful day. I pray we can finish this without much more loss of life. My heart breaks for the families who have lost their precious husbands, sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, siblings and friends.

I was reading a recent Voice of the Martyrs publication we receive and there is an underground evangelical church in Iraq. We really need to pray for them and one man in particular who is very active there.

I also found out that Mosul is modern day Ninevah!

LORD, for our POWs:

For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life;
in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.

- Psalm 143:11-12

Ronald D. Young, Jr., 26, of Lithia Springs, Ga.
David S. Williams, 30, of Orlando, Fla.
Edgar Hernandez, 21, of Mission, Texas.
Joseph Hudson, 23, of Alamogordo, N.M.
Shoshana Johnson, 30, of Fort Bliss, Texas.
Patrick Miller, 23, of Park City, Kan.
James Riley, 31, of Pennsauken, N.J.

LORD, thank you that the number of POWs has not grown.
Please hold and keep the souls of these people close to you, make them strong, make them know that we search high and low for them and will not rest until we know their fates. Please assist us in finding them soon. Amen.

THANK YOU, LORD!

Our brothers and sister, Patrick Miller, Joseph Hudson, Edgar Hernandez, Ronald Young, and Shoshana Johnson were able to walk out of their captivity! We thank You, we praise You!

Our brothers David Williams and James Riley are more injured, please place Your healing hand on them.

Please continue to be with all of them while they come to know that they are back among Your people and are safe from the evil men who held them.

We are SO greatful that You have heard us and delivered them out of their bondage.
