The power of rationalization is a huge power we have to choose to believe what fits into our way of thinking. Our ability to rationalize is really put to the test especially when something happens that is hard for us to explain.

My own son has experienced the divine protection of the Lord while in Iraq. The power of prayers for our troops is a mighty thing.

I see this article as encouragement to continue our prayers for our young men and women in harm's way.

PING for the power of PRAYER for our troops!

"My own son has experienced the divine protection of the Lord while in Iraq.
The power of prayers for our troops is a mighty thing."

May God Protect our men and women in uniform.

Thank you, Tonk!

Lord, we praise and thank You for Your divine protection, and we humbly pray for a continuance of that protection every single day for our troops.

It's the least I could do for Eric.
A fine testimony who was not so long from finishing boot camp.
Now he has come full circle, along with so many others.
God Bless them all.

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. -Isaiah 41:10"

Dear Lord, we pray for our troops and their families. We pray for comfort for those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for the many freedoms we have. Thank you, Dear Lord, for all your blessings. Amen

Full circle, indeed.

Boot camp seems so very long ago, Tonk.

He will come home a very different young man.

The effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much.- - May God bless and protect your son and may His mighty hand be on our troops as well as our President.

Thanks for that verse and prayer, Texagirl!

Great story, thanks.
We are at War, and it isn't just Iraq.

Consider this as well:
"The Hollywood star's Icon Productions has announced plans, along with indie distributor Newmarket Films, to release his controversial movie about the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus Christ on 2,000 screens in theaters nationwide on February 25, Ash Wednesday.
The distribution strategy marks the biggest bow ever for a subtitled picture...
Newmarket president Bob Berney told the New York Times that theaters have told him demand to see the film is heating up.
"People call and say, 'I want 10,000 tickets,'" Berney said.
The Times also reports that one multiplex in Dallas is setting aside all 20 of its screens for Passion and Passion alone. "

Amen!

God is at work among our troops in miraculous ways. Chaplain Carey Cash is a Naval Reserve chaplain who gave an address in Washington a little more than a month ago at the National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces. Cash has served as a chaplain to a Marine battalion in Iraq since the spring.

In this address, he gave first-hand accounts of some events that can only be explained as the hand of God.

"Mines exploding beneath vehicles full of Marines -- injuring none. Mortars falling down around us -- throwing men 15 feet in the air... men who got up without so much as a scratch. Rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) striking vehicles loaded with as many as 25 Marines -- harming none of them. Waking up to Iraqi machine-gun bunkers that we'd never seen in the dark. Marines getting run over by Humvees with not a single broken bone to show for it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miracles are happening daily in Iraq, (ping!)

Praying in agreement with Julie and an army of others.
