Father, I ask you to watch over Johnathan, Brandon, Darelle, and all our military guys that are on foreign soil. Protect them from all evil, keep them in the center of your perfect will. Lord, I pray for their families that miss them terribly. It is love that causes their concern and worry. Please help them to trust their loved ones to you Lord so that the enemy cannot torment their thoughts. Help them to know that you are with their loved one and you are watching over every area of their life, big and small. Comfort them and give them peace of mind. I'm not going to pretend that it's easy for them, because it's not. Help them thru this difficult time. Help them to rest at night, and to occupy the time until their soldier returns home. In the name of Jesus. Provide good and relevant support groups for the guys in field and for their families at home. Support as friends and family and people that can relate to what they are going thru. Send people into their lives for them to build relationship with, people that will be a strength and encouragement to them, people that know you Lord. Give them the right words to speak at the right times and let your Spirit minister to the hearts and minds of our military and their families. It's not some textbook incident to you Lord. You are right there in the midst of their lives, and you know how real it is for them. Provide pillars for them to lean on, pillars in whatever form you choose, for them to lean on and draw strength from. Voices that speak your Word with heart-felt Faith, and not cheesey ritual. Hands that work beside each of them, sometimes in silence, sometimes in deep conversation. Feet that walk with them thru the hard stuff, down the streets of Iraq, or to the principal's office. Eyes that see the reality, that cry with them, that sparkle when they laugh. Hearts that love God and love them, good or bad, success or failure, from Iraq to back home in the US. Bless our soldiers Lord. Draw the hearts of each one to know you Lord, to walk closer to you than they ever have. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
