Troop Prayer Thread 9 "A CALL TO ARMS!"

[TEXOKIE]

We are very pleased to add to our prayer list rangerwife's husband SFC Tony with the 82nd Airborne.

BELOVED HEAVENLY FATHER,

We are so grateful to be able to come to you, our Father, for there are so many concerns on our hearts these days. We have learned that some of our troops have been sent to Haiti to protect our embassy there. Please, dear Lord, bless and sanctify those troops in their mission to protect Americans and American interests in that place. We lift each of them up this day and are mindful that all who go into such a posting is going into danger. We call forth the presence of St. Michael and his bands to surround this mission and all of the missions our fighting men and women are engaged in. Protect each one of them and let the forces arrayed against freedom in Haiti be rolled back. Go before these troops, Father, and clear the way so that the dangers are minimized and mitigated according to thy Will. Let only your divine Will be done in Haiti and everywhere else.

We bring to your attention rangerwife's husband SFC Tony of the 82nd Airborne. Father, surround this servant of freedom during this time in which he is pledged to safeguard it. We ask that you will convey to him and all who serve the gratitude we feel. Let him receive a swaddling garment of impenetrable Light substance woven from our prayers and your love. Let it contain strands of wisdom, protection, power, love, courage, discipline, purity, healing, service, and mercy, to be dispensed according to the need of the hour. Surround rangerwife and her entire family with abundant faith that all is and shall be well during his service in the 82nd Airborne.

Father, we are embarking this day on the Presidential political season, with the entering into the public discourse on the issues by our President George W before the Republican governors. We ask, Father that you will overshadow the candidates and issues of your choice and priority. Guide this nation as we look at the issues and all which is at stake. Let our people be guided in all races, from the Presidential on down to local school boards and municiple contests. Renew the Vision of our people. Breathe upon us the breath of the Holy Spirit, and grant us the discernment and will to be obedient to the blueprint for this nation which you have ordained.

Enter now into the continuing mission of those who are hunting down terrorists, including but not limited to Osama bin Laden. We ask that you will expose the whereabouts of this one and let him be brought to justice. Let those who are able to point the finger at him and all the other criminals have the courage and Vision to come forward.

Father, guide, guard, direct, and protect our entire military, all our allies, all our support personnel, all our intelligence operatives, and all the ones who are waiting for these to return home. Bless and guide our leaders and the chain of command throughout the military and and fighting forces.

We are grateful for the beginning of the Lenten season which begins this week. Father, we come to you in this hour, and in the same spirit we prayed at the beginning of this very thread back in November, we ask that you will give each of us a particular assignment or sacrifice which will be the acceptable offering during the next 40 days in preparation for the glory of the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus. We ask that you will guide us as we repent during these coming days of our own personal sins and the sins of our nation. We ask that you will show us how we can come closer to you in the persons of the Blessed Trinity.

While this prayer is steeped in the Christian perspective, we give thought and respect to those who follow the Jewish religion. We pray for these, our brothers and sisters who claim you as their Father, and whom you have written that you also claim. We place on the altar all those of any religion who have your name printed on their inward parts. Cut them and all of us free from all error and limitation. Endow all of your sons and daughters with Vision, Harmony, and Union. Shatter any and all divide and conquer tactics which cause your children to fight among themselves instead of focusing on the real enemy of darkness.

We are grateful, Father, for your inclined and ready ear to our prayers and concerns. We are also very grateful for the answers you give us. We pray for the miracle of the continued blessings of freedom for this nation. We pray for the miracle that the blessings of freedom may be spread throughout the world, so that each one of your sons and daughters may sit under their own vine and fig tree, and commune by the agency of the Holy Spirit, with your own blessed Heart in Peace, Freedom, and Joy.

We ask that our prayers will be adjusted and made perfect. Amplify and multiply all which we call forth for Tony and those embarking on the embassy protection mission in Haiti to all who are serving the Holy Cause of Freedom.

Amen

PRAYER WARRIOR FIELD TRIP!!!

Our faithful secretary-of-all-positive-troop-news-stories, Ragtime Cowgirl, has brought to our attention the following story about the hunt for Bin Laden. Please put on your spiritual marching boots, and find out what has been happening! Please keep this mission in your prayers!

BELOVED HEAVENLY FATHER,

We lovingly and urgently hold before you Task Force 121, a 1400-strong unit drawn from the U.S. army's Delta Force, Rangers and Green Berets, U.S. navy Seals, and attached elements of British and Australian SAS and Canadian special forces, who will be used as the cutting edge of an offensive aimed at netting or killing top al Qaeda fugitives. The 11,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan and a 12,000-man Pakistani army division are preparing for a "hammer and anvil" offensive from both sides of the border to trap terrorist leaders and fighters.

Father, we ask that each one of these precious warriors and their leaders will be granted a special individual blessing and issued a special armor of light constructed specifically for this mission. We are grateful for their service and we are holding them in our hearts this day and in the days to come.

Father, we particularly ask that you will shield and secure all sensitive information about their movements. We ask that you will oversee with your angels and hosts of the Lord all security, mission plans, and operation directives. Bring to them accurate and immediately recent intelligence information which can be acted upon. Cut free and give courage for coming forward to those who have that information! Clear the way before these troops with the spiritual agency of our prayers and your angels who join them in battle at the level of the unseen!

We call forth your justice and wish for the capture or killing of Osama bin Laden and his henchmen according to your own higher Will. We surrender upon the altar the base impulse for mere revenge. We do call forth your own Divine Justice to be meted out by the agency of the One Sent whose office it is to judge righteous judgement. We beseech you to be merciful and grant that justice quickly and visibly. We are grateful that you hear our prayers and again, we affirm that your Will is what we desire for the situation. Send the Lord Christ into the situation and let Him judge that righteous judgement according to your own decision based on justice and mercy. Mercy not only for the perpetrators, but mercy for those who have been grievously injured by the hands of these we seek and who therefore correctly seek justice from the Courts of Man and of Heaven. We humbly place it in your hands, and hold in our hearts the Vision that all shall be resolved and recompensed by thy Grace. Bless and guide these troops who find themselves your instruments of judgement on the battlefield in this matter.

We call forth from your heart the rolling momentum of Victory! We claim in this moment that Victory! We also call for the sealing of that Victory which is, has already been, and shall be won with blood and sweat of these and all our precious troops.

This which we call forth for this particular mission, we call forth for all the missions being executed by our warriors in the War Against Terror. Let only your strength and Will be our guide and buckler.
Amen

ERRATA:

In the above prayer, in the first sentence of the 4th paragraph, please let it read:

"We call forth your justice and OUR wish for the capture or killing of Osama bin Laden and his henchmen according to your own higher Will..."

My apologies for the error.
