Troop Prayer Thread 6

Posted on 05/24/2003 2:36:39 PM PDT by TEXOKIE

Welcome to the Troop Prayer Thread!

We have been gathering here in order to unite our forces to weave a tapestry of protection by God's grace over our troops who have been and are in harm's way. We operate under the theory that if the prayers of a righteous man availeth much, then the prayers of a single-minded group can avail even more!

We pray not only for our troops in harm's way, but also for our leaders, our nation, and our people, as well as our allies, and any situation or circumstance which can have an effect on any of those things.

We are listing here members of the active armed services known to us for whom we want to pray. We continue to hold vigil for those who are still in harm's way. Because stable government in Iraq and Afghanistan is a condition which reduces the risk of attack on our nation and her allies, and it thereby reduces the risk to our troops, we will also be holding vigil on this thread for the Victory War. In other words, we will be praying that the Victory won with the blood and sacrifice of our precious troops will not be lost by diplomatic or unwise negotiations. At all times we will be praying for only God's Will and Plan to be made manifest in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East region, and throughout the world.

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, OR IF THE STATUS OF YOUR TROOPER HAS CHANGED please let us know so that we may correct the list. When your trooper returns home, let us know so that we may rejoice with you! 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.

We are grateful to God that for those who have been injured or taken back Home, He has dispatched angels to their care.

Prayer Warrior Alert!

The son of one of our Freepers, boxerblues, has been injured by a freak accident in Iraq. An exploding truck tire hit him in the back of his head.

Boxerblues has updated us and informed us that "he is doing better, the staples were removed from his head but his arm is not healing as quickly as they would like. He is holding up pretty good. They put him on light duty and gets to guard the internet cafe which give us a little more time to IM each other."

Beloved Heavenly Father,

We are grateful that the accident involving boxerblue's son and his close encounter with that exploding tire had such a favorable outcome. We ask that you will surround this precious young man with your love, comfort, and healing, along with our own blanket of prayers and loving concern.

Please, Father, heal his arm, his head, and any and all of his tissues or body systems which have been affected by that massive blow. Heal the bruises! We know that sometimes one's peace can be disturbed by this kind of accident, so please, if it is applicable in this case, heal any anxieties or displacment of that peace.

Father, bless all who are in harm's way this day. Keep them all safe and secure in your blessed hands.

We continue to call for your intercession to bring to the attention of all relevant personnel any and all equipment, tools, means of transport, and gear of any kind which needs repair or maintenance. We continue to petition your assistance in placing it on the hearts and minds of those in the supply lines to smoothly and quickly provide all material which are necessary for our troops to do their jobs well.

Again, Father, we are grateful that boxerblue's boy is in good shape and has been able to communicate frequently with his family. Bless that family and all families of those who are serving throughout the world!

Amen

Beloved Heavenly Father,

We are grateful for the service given to this nation by Joel, a 2nd Lt with the 2nd ACR in Baghdad, and that of fellow FReeper, kjfine, Capt. and commander of the 969th MCT in Iraq.

Grant them your protection and the watchful eyes of the angels you have assigned them. We ask that the light from our prayers for them shall be woven into a special shield which can be placed over their protective armor and gear.

Bless their families and all loved ones who wait for their safe and victorious return. Grant these young men the ability to have immediate discrimination of friend and foe. In times of danger, grant them fast and wise action. Grant them wisdom and courage in leading their men.

This which we call forth for Joel and kjfine, we call forth for all our troops.

Amen

Without our troops, we would not enjoy the lives we have today. We owe them so much - these troops and all those who came before them. They truly are a unique breed.

When I think of the millions and adulation bestowed on rock stars and athletes vs. our soldiers and firemen and policemen, I could scream. Many of us felt that way prior to 9/11, but even more of us feel that way now.

Regards, Peach

We are glad to add him, TexKat!


Beloved Gracious Father,

We gather in prayer for the safety and protection of your hand and might around SGT. K. Smith in Kuwait.

Grant him grace, courage, and strength during his time there. We ask that you will assign him some special angels and that you will take our prayers for him and weave them into a special garment of love and protection.

Help him have insight, vision and an unerring wisdom in leading his troops. Guide him as he performs his missions and makes decisions and cares for those in his charge.

We thank you Father, for him and all these fine young people who have placed their lives on the line and have said, "HERE I AM, SEND ME." These are our best and brightest, Lord. Preserve and protect them, for with them, we shall build our future -- even as they are in the very act of safeguarding it now.

Guide, guard, direct and protect all of the troops, their leaders both in the ranks and the civilian authority on up to our President, the Commander In Chief, George W. Bush.

This which we call forth for SGT. K. Smith, we call forth for all our fine young men and women under arms, both from this nation and her allies.

Amen
