Amen, Tex, to your great prayer (I printed it out to read again during prayer time), and the prayer of protection and comfort for Jane; also your sister, Tex, and her eyesight.

There are so many freepers and members of their family who are serving in the military , and so many freepers who deeply care and pray for each man and woman serving at this terrible time and we thank God for the prayer warriors because they are so powerful. I would ask all of you, when you're praying for our troops, to please mention my son's name, Mitchell. Mitchell is with USAF air refueling wing in Oman right now. Many of the planes which will attack Iraq will fly out of Oman and yesterday the state department urged all Americans to leave Oman because of the tensions and security problems in the area.

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19

I just wrote Mitchell's name on my prayer list. I will pray for him and all our wonderful troops every morning and every night. While we are here safely FReeping, eating, sleeping, and going about our business, they are out there putting their lives on the line.

God bless each and every one of our military serving in these difficult times, and the families at home who have made a great sacrifice to let them go over there.

Thanks, TexOkie, for all your prayers.

Tell Yellow Rose that because of her, we have all been inspired to pray for one another. The goodness goes out like ripples on a pond.

Thank you for joining us in prayer on all these matters which have been placed before our prayer circle, maranatha. I'm grateful for the reminder from Phil 4:19

We are very happy to include Mitchell with the USAF in Oman in our prayers.

OUR FATHER,

We place before you our Mitchell who is with the USAF in Oman from which it is our understanding that many of the planes to be used in eventual war with Iraq will fly. Father, surround Mitchell and his unit with our prayers. Surround all the pilots in the USAF with your angels. Bless and keep all of our troops and their leaders. Bless their families and friends they have left at home.

We have gathered together on this forum on this particular set of threads to form a powerful coalition of prayer warriors. Father, we are so grateful that you have called us to do this work together. You have shown us so vividly how our prayers have brought about remarkable results in the life of our Yellow Rose of Texas. We can see that by thy grace, you have perhaps been preparing us and giving us confidence to attempt some heavy lifting in the days to come. We are grateful for all of these young people. We are grateful for this nation and her Constitution and all who have ever made it possible for us to continue to live our lives under it.

Guide us, Our Father, in the prayer work which is before us to do. Take all of the prayers which we offer in the earnestness of our hearts and multiply them. Especially let each and every prayer we may whisper for a loved one who is in harm's way be immediately multiplied so that by your grace it may count as a prayer shouted not only for that loved one, but for all who are under arms for freedom.

We thank you that you are gracious to hear and answer us so abundantly with your blessings and miracles.

Amen
