Lord we come to you today asking for your wisdom and guidance for our troops. Please comfort them in their time of need. Let them know they are supported and loved. Keep them safe and strong in the face of the enemy. Let peace reign over them. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Praise The Lord and pass the ammunition.
braise the pork and pass the mashed potatos
Perhaps a petition to the universal hypothalamus:
Please tell all combatants to go home to their families with this message:
Turn your tanks into plows, your brass into musical instruments and your explosives into fertilizer.
May your fields be heavy with produce, your houses warm and your tables full. Have many fat children and enjoy life.
After a few years tell me which life is better.
Prolly won't work, though. Most folks won't listen to that part of their hypothalamus.

I'm not sure about you, but I think they need the prayers a little bit more, seeing as it is their country and when the US Troops leave, they'll have to live with whatever mess or non-mess that's left.
EDIT: Oh wait, never mind. I see you've included the Iraqi people in your last post.
It would have given the Iraqi people
equal status (in this thread), so to speak, to have included them in the title. Though, of course, they need much more than prayer to get their lives back to some semblance of normality.
All at once & in the same breath would have been really good, MA.
But don't worry yourself unduly. I think this issue is quietly fading away into the A2K sunset. I'm just catching up & responding to a back-log of email updates.
Lord, we come to you today asking for your peace and comfort for every troop, no matter which faction, Iraqi civilian, the children, the family and loved ones of everyone caught in the middle of this war. We ask that you comfort them, give them courage to face what comes their way, and love them Lord. All people are your children. All are in need of your love and mercy. Father, please let this war end soon. Please be with all of us as we walk through our lives. Help us to try to understand the things we don't. Help us to always remember to love everyone, as your Son commanded that we do. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen

Keep up the good work on the forum, Momma :wink:
You really should include the source of your quote, Set.
Yes, but i have provided it elsewhere, Neo.
That is the work of Samuel Clemens, and i do not purport it to be my own.
I also intend to post it each time i see MOAN posting a prayer.
And I appreciate that you do keep posting it, as it still has a strong and powerful force to it Setanta.
Do you have any cat prayers?
Lord, we come to you today asking again for peace and comfort for our troops. Guide them in the way that you would have them go. Keep them and their loved ones safe. Grant understanding to them, Lord. Though we may not understand the whys of the war, give us the understanding each day of the right thing to do. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Good Morning, Setanta!

But there's only
one way they can "go", MA! And that's following the orders of their military leaders, who follow the orders of their government.
Unless you're encouraging them to possibly make a whole lot of trouble for themselves ...?
