The Power of Prayer...



I found the following prayer on a website and found it fitting to post as Jimmer leaves for Iraq.

Dear God,

This prayer Lord, that I say tonight

Is for our troops who all must fight.

These are the troops that we all love

And so I pray dear Lord above

Please keep them safe while they're away

And bring them home to us someday.

This prayer is not for ours alone

But for all military far from home.

I ask you to keep them safe and sound

On their way to where they're bound.

We love them all that are asked to fight

So keep them safe for us tonight.

Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.

Protect them as they protect us.

Bless them and their families for the selfless acts

they perform for us in our time of need. Amen. (www.mamarocks.com/military_prayer.htm)
