Subject: Urgent Prayer Request
Dear Family and Friends, I am writing to you today with a sense of urgency. I am asking that you pray for myself, my unit, and all coalition forces. Some of you may have heard through the news that the Taliban recently had a prison break in Kandahar City. Those reports are accurate. Between 500 to 1000 insurgents have escaped and are currently regrouping. I ask for prayers for protection for all of us and for all of the local nationals in Kandahar. We have received reports that the Taliban is going to try to attempt to retake Kandahar City from the Americans and they also want to retake Kandahar Air Field (which is currently the main base in the Kandahar province). They currently have retaken 5-13 villages outside of Kandahar City and are looking to move into it. I ask for prayer because our position (which is 20 mins outside of Kandahar City) is strategic to the Taliban. They basically have to go through us in order to get to KAF and we have been put on high alert. Security alert is high, and weʼre ready to roll out/defend ourselves within seconds if needed to. Please pray that we get rest and if weʼre put into that situation that weʼre able to fight. Again, please pray for protection and strength as this summer will be a lot harder than the military originally expected. Pray that weʼll be alright and make it through the summer! Thank you and God bless!
In Christʼs Service, Jonathan M.

God, I thank you for watching over your children, watch over those that live in your name in love!
Thank you Father.
Amen
You have my prayers for protection, for strength, and for victory. God bless you.
God speed, troops!
You have my prayers, now get the guards out, the aircraft up, the night vision units on, the 50’s loaded, the intel functioning and the Buff’s on standby.
I pray these idiot Taliban are stupid enough to attack the US Army head-on.
Our hearts are lifted to You on behalf of these brave men and women who are facing new challenges as they serve our nation. You know everything that has happened, Lord, and You know the location of every single terrorist who seeks the destruction of American forces. In the Name of Jesus, we call upon You to provide protection and strength for our troops and to comfort them as they fulfill their duties. Father, hide them in the shadow of Your wings until these calamities pass. We love them, Lord, and we thank them for what they are doing for their fellow man. Thank You for giving them the blessed assurance that You will never leave them nor forsake them. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
I am praying for the safety and protection of our soldiers in Afghanistan.
It looks good to me.
Prayers up!
Hey man...seen this? We pray for our Troops every morning, but we’ll especially bear this in mind. Prayers up!

Prayers that these evildoers are subdued.
The Holy Spirit be with you Troops, Go git em!

I’ll remember them in my prayers daily.
God Bless our troops and their families.
HURRRRAGGGHH!

Prayers up.
Remember, while praying, that these are American soldiers.
I think the enemy needs to do some praying of their own because they are about to die.
Pray for our men and women, and hitting the target on the first shot.
