A Prayer For The Troops

Allies ^ | by Ben

[Bad~Rodeo]

Almighty God, watch over the men and women of the Allied Armed Forces, Protect them from harm and lift their spirits in this time of trial, Grant them the courage to fulfill their missions and the strength to defeat our enemies, Fill them with your mercy for the vanquished and your love for the oppressed, Guide them to be instruments of hope and freedom for the world, And when Iraq is free, bring them home safely, their task complete, In you we trust.

Amen

The defenders of freedom

We thank them for their courage to take a stand against oppression in the face of moral cowardice and corruption from lesser men

George W. Bush, President of the United States of America

Anthony Blair, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

And let's not forget our brave vets when they come back: jobs and good health care for the injured should be waiting for them when this is over.

(A Victorian Ode)

1897

Rudyard Kipling

GOD of our fathers, known of old,
     Lord of our far-flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
     Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

The tumult and the shouting dies;
     The Captains and the Kings depart;
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
     An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

Far-called our navies melt away;
     On dune and headland sinks the fire;
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
     Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
     Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe,
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
     Or lesser breeds without the Law—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

For heathen heart that puts her trust
     In reeking tube and iron shard—
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
     And guarding calls not Thee to guard.
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord!

"And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."

[RaceBannon]

(1 Tim 2:1 KJV) I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

(1 Tim 2:2 KJV) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

(1 Tim 2:3 KJV) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

(1 Tim 2:4 KJV) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

(1 Tim 2:5 KJV) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Our prayer for our King, President George W. Bush, and our leaders in combat
