Fellow FREEPers, especially those of you who pray, please consider taking some special time a week from Wednesday to pray for the transition.
Like you, we are praying daily for our troops and leaders. 30 June is an important day, however, and we plan to have some friends over for dinner and a special time of hope and asking God to watch over the people.
He loves Iraqis as much as He loves Americans. We all need Him. I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know...but I do appeal to you to make an effort to perhaps join likeminded people in intercession for the new Iraqi nation.
A year from now, we can share in the joy of answered prayers. :)

These people are beyond prayer, but I guess it can't hurt.
Thanks for the call to prayer, Recovering_Democrat. I will be praying.
A call to prayer for the June 30th transition in Iraq.
I've been praying for them since this thing started. Because of our miserable media most people don't know how much has been accomplished there. Just a few more days and the transfer will be complete. May God protect them.
Thank you for this thread. I will be praying too-from Wednesday on.
Continuing my prayers for the Iraqi people.

Thank you for the ping, Faith. I will join my brothers and sisters in this call to prayer for the transition.
Bump.
I will be praying.
That was not necessary.
Thank you for the prayer request. Iraq is, and will continue to be, included in my prayers for the innocent people and for those whose hearts may be softened and changed in the way of Christ our Lord. I know this is a very tall order, but I believe each step, sincerely taken, will help. The Good Lord knows there are many, but the only way I see peace and resolution throughout all this is through Jesus, our Lord and Savior. I pray that these people are reached, one by one, and that the message sets off a firestorm that spreads widely and fully
Thanks for the invite.
Father, in Heaven,
We know that the Great Adversary, the supernatural power behind Islamofascism -- Prince Satan-- and his powerful demonic princes, & all his human comrades would like nothing more than to see this occasion turn into a huge embarrassment. They all despise this man, George W. Bush, for putting Thee first, for turning to Thee in prayer, and for being so audacious as to proclaim his faith in Christ Jesus.
American, British, and French liberals call GWB a backward Bible thumper, someone who wears "his faith on his sleeve", someone who "uses" his faith to curry favor with voters. Ah, but they only hate Him because in their hearts they hold Christ in contempt as well.
Help this process go well, Father. May it be just one more reason for the enemies of Christ, the children of Belial, Darwin's disciples, and our modern Sadducees to gnash their teeth. Another missed opportunity for them to gloat. For they earnestly desire to see our soldiers laying dead in the streets so that President Bush will look bad. And that is where the Islamofascists and the American liberals join in hopeful chorus.
How they loved it when a public philanderer and his empowering wife, our Ahab and Jezebel, ran this country. How they loved it when junior high school students had the ungodly Clintons as role models. How even elementary school children lost their innocence when they considered the bawdy activities our former engaged in. And he is so shameless that he brings it all out for a new generation of youngsters to consider again.
We are ashamed that the depravity of our country is so great that half this land (!!!!) want to replace he who honors Thee and Thy Word with John Kerry, a man who is seemingly devoid of any concern for Biblical guidance.
When we see this, John Kerry, envelop himself with 48 nobel scientists to denounce President Bush for taking a Biblical stand, we think of that previous pretender, this one who lived three millenia ago who challenged David's leadership, an Absalom. This one who surrounded himself with 50 prestigious charioteers when he went to make his pitch to the people of Israel.. .
Rally, Lord!! Be strong and rally to his side, Father. Grant him sweeping victory this November -- if it be Thy will.
Father, we pray that you will protect our troops around the world, but especially those in Iraq and Afganistan. The hordes of Lucifer's minions burst forth in song at every American death. Protect them from the human sickos, those armed, degenrate Islamic monsters. Help us find and bring to justice their vaunted hero, that slime Osama Bin Laden and the rest of tthe leadership in that band of scum called AlQaeda.
All assembled before and laying our petition down in the name of Christ Jesus, the Risen Savior.
praying for the safety of our troops and our citizens over there. Hope it all goes welll.....
"Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given you ..."
Joining all of you in prayers for a smooth transition of power in Iraq. May the Lord bless all who have a roll in the transition proceedings.
How about us start praying for them now and that all will go smooth and peaceful.It is no sin to start praying early and mean it imho.
