Ok, the other prayer for the troops thread has pretty much stayed off track. So, I decided to just let those that don't really like posting prayer for the troops have that thread to do with as they wish.
However, I do respectfully ask that anyone posting in this thread will do so with one thing in mind. This thread is for prayer and good wishes for our troops.
A special thread for prayer for the Iraqi people has also been started.

I am asking respectfully of everyone, please if you do not agree with this thread or if you don't want to post a prayer or encouragement for our troops, please voice those opinions, etc. in this thread:

My sincere wish is that everyone respects this thread for what it is intended to be ~ Only Prayer and Encouragement For the Troops.
Thank you.
Lord, we ask for guidance, comfort, and strength for our troops. Please Lord bring them all home safely and soon. Please be with their families and loved ones in this time of war. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
Nope, you don't get special venues here in which you are entitled to stipulate that only adherents of imaginary friend superstitions may post.
May the Celestial Leg Humper raise His Mighty Leg and pee all over your thread . . .
Dog bless you . . .

Setanta, I did not say that anyone HAD to post a prayer. I said a prayer or encouragement for the troops.
Being a soldier yourself at one time, I thought you might understand. I am sorry if you do not.
Its evident there is a major misunderstanding going on here.
You probably are sorry, i'm not inclined to argue with that.
As a soldier, i had other things to occupy my attention than the proposition that mealy-mouthed christian hypocrits might have been stroking their egos with their phony prayers.
This promises to be a favorite, daily, late evening series for me to watch.
O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle?-be Thou near them! With them?-in spirit?-we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it?-for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.

Mr Twain was a very bright man.
No one's making fun of you or of your beliefs, Momma A. Your manner of presentation, on the otherhand, invites the respect its been receiving.

Yes, and i believe the world, and his homeland in particular, gave him quite a lot of heartache . . .
Tell me MA. Have you ever said a prayer for the orphaned Iraqi children?
Set....you need serious help.
You sure he doesn't need frivolous help?

It IS the merest tad difficult to contain the concept of seriousness at the same time as observing the frenetic bowing of that monkey.
One experiences a visual/conceptual oxymoron, if such a thing may be imagined.

You should've seen my bouncy mouse. Thought I'd tone things down with this monkey. :wink:
