I have received word that there are apparently some intense attacks on our convoys and our bases in Iraq at this time. Sunni Triangle - over to Baghdad, that whole central Al Anbar province - and the roads, where needed supplies carried by courageous civilians, and military escorts - or not - need protection.

BLESSED MERCIFUL LOVING FATHER,

We come before you at this time, Father, for we have heard that our troops battling the Enemy in Iraq have been undergoing some intense attacks in the Sunni Triangle - over to Baghdad, that whole central Al Anbar province - and all the roads. Father, we ask that you will protect our heroes as they fight the enemy, move cargo, and perform all the various crucial missions assigned to them. We petition you urgently for the increase of your Light around each and every one who is in harm's way. We ask that you will place teams of angels on all the roads, around and within all the bases, and let our troops be sensitive to the warnings of these angels as they reveal the locations of various sources of danger.

Blessed Father, take command of that entire area within Iraq. Let there be a covering of your golden chain mail spread out over each base and convoy. Let it enfold personally each of our troops, contractors, and innocents among the civilians.

We ask that you will intercede with your legions of Victory and SHATTER the insurrection and the fomenting of instability in the region. Guide our President, Secretary of Defense, and each of our leaders in the chain of command. Grant them wisdom and a glimpse of your divine Plan and Vision for this action in Iraq and elsewhere. Take command of the entire political situation both in Iraq and in the United States. Let only your Will be made manifest in the handover of sovereignty to the Iraqis and in the elections coming up there and in our own nation.

Let the prayers of all who love you be amplified and multiplied to strengthen our will to follow your own Will and Guidance. Help us to hold our course steady. Let the ones who are our true warriors of the Spirit be granted a special role to plant the Holy Standard of your divine Law and Vision into the earth so that the ultimate Victory can take place by your Grace. Help us hold steady. Help us to hold that Vision. Help us to keep our eye on only you and cling always to the faith that you ARE moving in the earth! You ARE sending your legions of angels. You ARE placing your hand on each of our loved ones in harm's way. You ARE our beloved caring Father, but you are also magnificent, mighty, and our glorious God.

We are mindful of the words of a wise person:

Work and pray as though it all depends on us, for it does.
Pray and work as though it all depends on God, for it does.

Let thy divine Will be done!

Amen

Heavenly Father, we pray for the safety of our soldiers. They are trying to free a nation and doing your work. We ask that a circle of angels protect and guide them in your name. Amen.
