Troop Prayer Thread 5

Posted on 04/22/2003 11:34:19 AM PDT by TEXOKIE

Welcome to the Troop Prayer Thread! We gather here together in the belief that "whereever two or more are gathered in my name, there am I," and that by the grace of God, group prayer effort can be a great force for good in the world.

We are listing here members of the active armed services known to us for whom we want to pray. We have been keeping track of the Captured/MIAs here for prayer purposes. By God's grace, our and the world's prayers have been answered regarding the return of our POWs! We continue to hold vigil for those who are still in harm's way. Because stable government in Iraq and Afghanistan is a condition which reduces the risk of attack on our nation and her allies, and it thereby reduces the risk to our troops, we will also be holding vigil on this thread for the Victory War. In other words, we will be praying that the Victory won with the blood and sacrifice of our precious troops will not be lost by diplomatic or unwise negotiations. At all times we will be praying for only God's Will and Plan to be made manifest in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East region, and throughout the world.

If you would like to submit someone for our list, you are welcome to do so at any time. Post their name or pseudonym here on the thread or freepmail amom or myself. If we have made any errors, OR IF THE STATUS OF YOUR TROOPER HAS CHANGED please let us know so that we may correct the list. When your trooper returns home, let us know so that we may rejoice with you! We will be making periodic updates. If you want to be added or removed from the ping list please let amom or me know by freepmail.

We invite everyone, active Freepers and Lurkers alike to join our circle in prayer for these fine men and women who have volunteered to place their lives on the line for the defense of our nation and for the liberation of the oppressed peoples of other nations. To them we send our greatest respect and gratitude. We send them our prayers and good thoughts. We ask for God's blessing upon them and their families.

For those of us who have somewhat limited computer capacity, we request that graphics be limited to pictures of loved ones for whom we are offering prayers, special visuals that seem particularly appropriate, and as much as possible, non-moving graphics. Thank you.

We are grateful to God that for those who have been injured or taken back Home, He has dispatched angels to their care.

An invitation bump to all prayer warriors to join us in prayer at post 260, if you have not already done so, for the protection of our troops, our nation, and her interests.

Repost of the prayer offered in post 260 for your convenience:


*PINGING FOR EMERGENCY PRAYER WARRIOR MOBILIZATION!!*
I have just heard on the news that there are "credible" reports that imminent attacks against US interests in Saudi Arabia, or even stateside are strongly possible. I invite and urge our prayer warriors to please mobilize with your prayer bullets for the protection of our troops, agents, and nationals in foreign nations and at home. Thank you so very much.

BELOVED HEAVENLY FATHER,

We have learned through our news services that there are reportedly some credible threats against American interests in Saudi Arabia, elsewhere, and even possibly here at home.

We come together here, Father, to petition you for your mercy and for miracles of your intercession in this entire matter. Father, we acknowledge that we as your children make mistakes and fall short of achieving the fulfillment of your Vision for us and our nations here on the earth, but we are also confident of your love for us and the mercy which you grant to us as our caring Heavenly Parent. Please, Father, by thy Grace, place an immediate garment of protection over our troops, our agents, our nationals, all innocents, American buildings, infrastructure, and transportation conveyances throughout the earth. Grant this as well for our trusted allies.

Guide our leaders both in America and abroad, and all who are in decision making positions in any nation. If there are those among the people planning the mischief who are simply misguided, and are reachable by your grace, cut them free from the hate and darkness which is overwhelming them. Foil all malicious plans and reveal them to those who can take action to prevent them from materializing.

We urgently pray for your intercession into the halls of our government and her bureaucracies. Reach the hearts of those in government who have good intentions but who may have been duped by the lie that all forms of government and ways of life are equal. Cut our public servants and all of our people free from the tissue of lies which prevent us from fully apprehending the Vision you have for this nation. We ask that you will grant a clarifying penetrating experience to those who are in positions of power and who have been suffering under delusion or error.

Father, we ask that you will intercede according to thy will to strip all power from those with malice toward America and her allies, or at least mitigate and minimize any actions they may take against us. Father, we are fighting against Principalities and Powers, whom we understand to be among the legions of fallen angels working against your Plan. Send your legions of heavenly angels to enter the fray to bind these evil ones and the Devil himself in this hour in the name and by the authority of your Son, Christ Jesus. Grant those people in authority the knowledge and wherewithal to bind the minions of those Principalities and Powers in the earth. We invoke with great urgency your abundant mercy in this entire matter.

Father, we ask that any errors in this and all of our prayers are adjusted and made perfect according to thy will, as we do not desire to pray amiss in any way. We thank you and we are grateful that you make good on all your promises, and by virtue of those promises, we know that we can call upon you for intercession. We praise you as we pray expectantly for the miracles which may be your good pleasure to provide. We sincerely pray that none of these attacks materialize and that our pundits will be scratching their heads wondering what all the fuss was about. Thank you, Father, for hearing our urgent prayers. Each life is precious and we are grateful for any and all miracles from your hand, to spare and save all innocent lives and the freedoms and graces which you have given us through our Constitution.

Amen

A Greater Love Hath No Man Than This...
SFGATE.com (The SF Chronicle) ^ | 05/23/03 | Adam Sparks


Posted on 05/22/2003 11:55 PM CDT by sfwarrior


"We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here." -- Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, Nov. 19, 1863

Five years after Lincoln pronounced those immortal words for the dead on the Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg, Pa., Gen. John A. Logan proclaimed on May 5, 1868, the precursor of the Memorial Day holiday. Logan established the observance, first known as Decoration Day, as a time to honor the nation's Civil War dead by decorating their graves. Both the North and the South, in order to commemorate the Civil War's fallen heroes, took up Logan's call. It was first widely observed on May 30, 1868....*snip*

Thanks for the link TexOkie.

Bit of good news....My cousin's just arrived back home from Iraq! His wife, kids, and Mom are ecstatic, as are we all. I suppose he can be removed from your troop prayer thread. Thanks again for setting it up.

Have a good Memorial Day Weekend,

Praise in time of tribulation.
--

Dear Father in Heaven,

I will continue the journey in honor of You and your son, Jesus Christ.

The path will be walked, My Faith is undying.

I Know that You Saved me.
I Know that Your Will is done.

If it be Your Will today, then I will
be humbled into submission to your Power
and Glory.

I can honor You despite any decision
by men.

My God is You.
And only You.

Help stay my emotions for Victory
is Yours already.

Like on the day of Calvary, Your Son had
already won. Men dragged His body, but God cradled His Soul.

Cradle my soul, dear Father.
Embrace me and buffer the arrows that
are flung.

(forgiving)

I forgive them all for they know not
what they do.

They release Your Glory and
Power to the full height of Heaven.

Their celebration on my bones is a celebration
of Victory over You.

Why do they seek Victory over you, Lord?
When you are the ruler of the Heavens?

Perhaps they are not worthy of your mercy or
awakening and so today, they are released into
the abyss.

Let me hold Thy love in my heart,
and hold Faith in destiny.

Cast out all pride and reliance on man.
(for no man can save or help me)

I am already Saved (through Your Son.)
It Is already Done.

Amen.
