PRAYER REQUEST FOR FREEPER'S NEPHEW IN IRAQ
11/17/05 | ALPHA-8-25-02

Posted on 11/17/2005 3:06:23 PM PST by alpha-8-25-02

FREEPER JFC'S NEPHEW 1ST LT. MICAH ADKINSON IS IN IRAQ AND HIS MOM CONNIE IS WORRIED.

HER IS CONNIE'S E-MAIL TO JFC TODAY:

this email was sent to me from my sister, who's son is in Iraq. She is hurting. Please pray for her as well God Bless- JFC

This morning I am so sad. If it were not for my family I do not know what I would do. This morning when I got up I thought about what Micah is going through, sleeping on a cold metal vehicle,being fired upon, and when not, not knowing when his vehicle might blow up under him and his men. I thought about the sand that stings their faces ,makes them feel gritty and never clean but more than anything how is jams their weapons casuing them not to fire.How they are leaving sweetheart, wives, children at home. How there is lack of support from so many in the USA when they are laying their lives on the line and many have willing died with honor. All this and then I see so many people here in school and elsewhere who go about their comfortable lifestyles have never written a letter or mailed a pkg to support our precious Hero's. But it is not just that it is that most people don't even think about them unless they are their family. Negative comments,not supporting our Commander in Chief and our Troups is breaking my heart. It has just came crashing down around me. One of our teachers, so helpfully came in to tell me three Marines were blown up this morning. What do people think they are doing or saying? If that is support I have missed it. I need your prayers, I love you both,Connie

CONNIE NEEDS PRAYERS FOR COMFORT AND LT. MICAH AND HIS TROOPS NEED PRAYERS FOR SAFETY. LET US SEND OUR SUPPORT TO A WORRIED MOM AND A SOLDIER. SEND YOUR RESPONSES TO JFC PING YOUR LISTS! GODBLESS,GODSPEED AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING FREEPERS!

this is for micah and all our troops..may God bless them :

Psalm 91:3-6

"Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday."

Now, even Congress is setting up our boys. Sad.

May God heal this mother's heart and keep her son safe. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen.

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep.

Tend your sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest your weary ones.
Bless your dying ones.
Soothe your suffering ones.
Pity your afflicted ones.
Shield your joyous ones.
And for all your love's sake. Amen.

Prayers coming from our house. It is unreal what some people say to those who have loved ones in harms way. Once in a while you know they are saying things just to hurt. I urge everyone to pray for our troops and pray to give these families the strength not to become bitter over what is said by some individuals out there. It would be so much easier just to give up and families need a lot of prayer for strength it is going to take just to endure.

Thank you... I know the prayers are heartfelt.

This is one mom's story, I know it is repeated all across the country. Not sure why the Dims don't get it.

One of the Marines in that blast was local. His mother is shattered, but proud that her son was willing to put his life on the line for the freedom of 24 million people that he did not know, and the safety of his fellow Americans.

My prayers are not just for the fallen, but for the living who will miss them.

God has given us His word to protect us - but it all depends on whether we are willing to trust Him. I have found that when I speak His word in FAITH - I am protected and comforted.

First, a prayer for protection: Isaiah 54:17 - "No weapon formed against 'you' can prosper". [Pray it this way: Thank you Father God that no weapon formed against my child can prosper]

For comfort: Isaiah 41:10 - Do not fear for I am with you. Do not be afraid for I am your God. I will help you. I will strengthen you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. [Pray it this way: Father God I will not fear for I know you are with me. I will not be afraid for You are my God. Thank you Father for helping me. Thank you Father for strengthening me. Thank you Father for upholding me with Your victorious right hand.]

If any two or more agree as touching anything .... When you pray in AGREEMENT WITH GOD'S WORD - you are in agreement with God.

Prayers for the Mom and her son Micah including his troops. Buck up sweetie, there are a lot of us backing our President and praying for our troops. Some of us have walked in shoes similar to his in a different time and place. We're praying for their safety and homecoming.

O Lord,
today we commend all the people in our services
who are working hard to fight for right,
to ease the darkness of another land,
and for their families,
who have to sit and watch
others disparage their sacrifice,
and feel the anxiety and fear and separation.
Be with each and every one
who this night misses their loved ones
overseas and far from home,
watch over those in harm's way,
and send your angels to be with those in most danger
both at home and far away,
and in the end,
bring us home to you,
in the name of Jesus,
Amen.

We are a military family and will pray for your family. I suspect that Mom needs those prayers more than the soldier.

All our fine military people and their loved ones have my prayers always.Can anyone imagine our country held hostage to terrorism forever. What kind of world it would be for our kids and grandkids. All the fine men and women serving their country are heroes to me and my family and friends. Don't let the politicians and press fool you. There are plenty in this country who love and pray for our people who are fighting for us. They are this country. They are the spirit and backbone of this land. Without them there wouldn't be a USA. God knows we will never be able to repay them for the sacrifice they make but we can darn well let them know we appreciate it. God bless Connie and her son and all the others who fight to keep us free.

Dear Father in Heaven,
You know I worry about my kids and I pray every night for you to protect them. One of the ways you answer my prayers is by sending brave soldiers like Micah Adkinson to Iraq. Now his mother, Connie, is worrying about him just like I worry about my kids. Please comfort her and protect her son. Please protect all our men and women who work so hard to keep my family safe. Comfort them. Give them strength. Give them faith. Keep them safe. I ask the same for their loved ones. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
