http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1021891/posts Beloved Heavenly Father,
Many of us in our prayer circle are gathered here from the safety and peace in our homeland, America. It is that way because of the efforts and sacrifices of people like armymarine mom's son and his family. Bless this young man and all like him who have had their time of rest and now must take up arms again and return to the fight.
Father, grant him safety at all times. Grant him angels of courage, wisdom, and faith. Surround him and all his comrades in arms prayer blankets from our hearts woven of your love and our prayers and concerns.
Surround the mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, sweethearts; all the loved ones of these young people who are waiting for the time of separation to be over. Grant them faith, joy, comfort, and peace during times of stress and worry. Shatter those momentums of worry which tie the spirit up in matrices of fear! Rather, grant these loved ones the ability to voice their concerns to you and let them hear the reassurance from your own heart to theirs that "all is Well." Grant them extraordinary calm and grace.
Father, we here are grateful for the fruits of the actions of our military and we ask for your own guidance as to how best to support these who sacrifice and these who wait. Father, bless them all.
Amen
Continuing to prayer with you ...
Amen.
Joining in prayer for armymarinemom's son, returning to duty in Iraq.
