A request for prayers, and a thank you from a grateful citizen.
September 21, 2001 | Luis Gonzalez

Fellow FReepers;

I just found out that my next door neighbor has received his orders, he's leaving tomorrow to defend our country, to make this land safe for freedom-loving people.

We have been neighbors only a short time, but I know him to be a solid conservative, and a patriot.

I want to do something a bit extraordinary (I just introduced him to FreeRepublic a few weeks ago), and show him my gratitude for the sacrifice he is about to make, leaving his home and wife to go hold the line for America.

His name is Chris.

Please post your thoughts and prayers here for him.

Luis

Psalm 91
1
Psalm 91
1
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
3
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8
You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9
If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the LORD, who is my refuge--
10
then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
12
they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15
He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

You got it my friend, prayers for the family and for your neighbor. If ever there was a time to keep these men and women in our services in our prayers, it is now. There is more than just Bin Laden at stake, it is the entire freedom of this nation and world. It is a lot more serious than we think or know. God is with your frind and tell him to be sure and talk to him as he is in harms way, it will go a long way.

There are many people all over America (The LORD's remnant) who pray for the President, America, and our military everyday! And they have been praying for years, and before this crisis! My prayer is that the numbers will increase!

Chris should speak the 91st Psalm that AppyPappy posted over himself and the men he serves with. My son will be leaving soon (called back) and while he was serving I spoke that over him! The LORD is faithful! The Word is our weapon and our protection (the doubled-edged Sword)!

Keep the 101st Airborne and the 82nd Airborne in your prayers too!

My daughter's 16th birthday was 9-11. This attack overshadowed what was to be her special day. She said "I'm not crying for me Daddy, but for all those people who were lost." I told those people were now with God and we should not forget what they went through to wake up America.

The sleeping giant has been aroused. May God bless and protect you, Chris, and your fellow Americans as you go to restore justice. May Godd bless all the Americans on the homefront to have the courage to stick with and support you.

Thanks for the flag, I think these reports make it hit home that real Americans are about to go and put their lives on the line for the right of Americans to live free. We owe everything to these men.

I'm keeping all our men and women in uniform in my prayers.

May the good Lord watch over them, and bring your son home safe to you.

Thank you.

Dear Chris, God bless you and your family. It is men like you that make America great. I will pray for you and your family. may the following bible verse bring you comfort and peace. "He does not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. For he is settled in his mind that Jehovah will take care of him. That is why he is not afraid, but can calmly face his foes. He gives generously to those in need. He will never be forgotten. He shall have influence and honor. Psalms 112:7-9
