God,Thanks Salvation and to all our troops and loved ones.

[Pegita]

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that our beloved young ones are so willing to serve our country. We send them off with tear-filled eyes and fervent prayer and commit them to Your care. Make safe their way, I pray, O God, that they return again to their loved ones. Be especially close to Karen as she leaves for Iraq this morning ... may she feel the comfort of Your presence. Watch over her and all our beloved service men and women ... grant them success in their missions and safety through each day, in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
