The two soldiers who were unaccounted for since April 9 were Sgt. Elmer C. Krause, 40, of Greensboro, N.C., and Pfc. Keith M. Maupin, 20, of Batavia, Ohio. Both soldiers were assigned to the Army Reserve's 724th Transportation Company, based in Bartonville, Ill. The official did not say which of the soldiers appeared in the video... "
BELOVED MERCIFUL FATHER,
We come before you in this hour to plea with you for the safety of our people who have been reported to be in enemy hands. We have seen video footage of Pfc. Keith Maupin. We have learned that contractor Thomas Hamill is being held. Sgt. Elmer C. Krause is missing and there is speculation that he is also being held. Father, send immediately legions of angels to protect these and any others who stand for freedom who may be in enemy hands. Father, we ask that you will stay the hand of any who may be tempted to harm them in any way.
We call forth your blessing and comforting Light to descend upon Keith's and the other families who are waiting for news of their loved ones. Grant them abundant Faith and Hope. Comfort them and grant them peace of mind despite the vortices of darkness and fear whirling around them. We are asking in the name of our Blessed Savior, in the name of the Ancient of Days, in the name of the Holy Spirit, in the name of your own blessed Self to intercede and take command of this entire situation! Beloved Father we are pleading for miracles of protection, comfort, healing, and mercy in this situation! Let ONLY your divine Plan and Will outplay in the lives of those involved.
Father, we surrender all pride, all selfishness, and all of the lesser momentums we indulge in, for we desire to be better instruments for your use to affect world events. Purify us, Father, for we know that you have ordained it in such a way that prayer and attention on you in a focused and intense and loving way is a key to divine Victory in world events.
Let your Light and angels pour forth in Iraq and the Middle East! Cut free all of your children from darkness! Protect those who stand for Freedom and liberation! Intercede, Father, in this hour and in the days to come! Guide our leadership and especially our President as our response is determined. We call forth the blessing and protection of those who are involved in gathering intelligence. We ask that they be successful in obtaining it. If it is determined that a rescue mission is planned, guide and protect those who will carry it out.
Father, we are so grateful that you are our Resource for strength and our constant Comfort! Thank you for hearing us, and we gratefully anticipate learning of the miracles, both small and large, which you shall perform as events unfold.
Amen
Bump. Prayers offered for a safe return of our soldier.
