Lord, Please watch over the troops

QBWeaver · Mar 17, 2003

Dearest God, Buddha, Mohammed, Allah, Mother Nature, Jehovah, and all other Supreme beings...

Please watch over the troops who are spread out across the globe helping to ensure the safety of the homeland.

Please guide and protect them as they follow the orders of their high commanders possibly leading them into battle.

Protect the innocents who may be close by should a war erupt.

Watch over the families of all involved that eventually they will find peace in their hearts.

And watch over us. Help guide us in our thoughts, actions and prayers that we take the right steps in support of those who are serving us during this trying time.

Amen

(I pray this will not become a current day "Vietnam War")

Amen! Very nice, Jan. Thanks

I heard a politician the other day make a comment that I think bears repetition. I don't remember who it was. But, he is opposed to us going into Iraq. However....He stated that, while he would oppose war with every breath, once we went in and had troops committed he would stand behind them 100%. This is what we failed to do in Nam...much to our disgrace. We left our own men hanging. I pray taht won't happen again and that many will take the senator's example of supporting the troops even if the action is not wanted.

I wish I could have served, and God knows I have tried, but medical problems kept me out of it.
