A friend sent this to me in an email today and I wanted to share it with all of you.
Prayer Request
I understand the weather in Iraq is very difficult to bear right now. Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance and safety.
I am sorry but I am not breaking this one. Send this on after a short prayer; please don’t break it:
“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.
I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.”
When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.
There’s nothing attached; just send this to all in your address book. Do not let it stop with you, please – of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine deployed in harm’s way, prayer is the very best!!!
Thank you.
So Here's the Thing 
What a beautiful picture and prayer. My friend just left Iraq a few days ago after a 9 month stay there with the Marine Corps. He said the weather was horrible. I'm going to send him this picture and prayer! Thanks!
: ) Thanks, Catrina! I know someone over there too and he said the same about the weather. I wish they could just all come home!
