Hey this is my first time to write something like this but I feel its necciary. I am asking if y'all would pray for my family but mainly my cousin Matt, my parents are is legal gaurdians and were for most of my life. I am asking for your prayers because on Friday he graduates from the US Marine Corps bootcamp. They have already told him he has something like 3 months infratry training then its off to Iraq for 9-12 months. It is going to be hard for all of us because he is the first person to go to war in my family since the Korean War. He has a 2 year old daughter who is the cutest thing and a wonderful fiancé who is scared about what could happen. We are leaving tomorrow for San Diego. Well I just wanted to ask for y'alls prayers and thank y'all so very much.

Does the child belong to his girlfriend? If so, perhaps he ought to do the honorable thing before he goes overseas.

Prayer ping.

Please post your replies to Claytay


Claytay, My prayers go up for your family.

The Marine's Prayer Regardless of the situation,

Almighty Father, whose command is over all and whose love never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will.  Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones, and Thee without shame or fear.  Protect my family.

      Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm.  Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance.  Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my Country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me.  Help me to wear my uniform with dignity, and let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold.

      If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again.

      Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer.

cyborg - thank you for the ping.

Blessings,
trussell

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.

May God watch over Matt and keep him safe from harm. May He shield all of our people who go in harm's way, in Jesus' name.

It sounds like your cousin is ready to go off to war. I pray that all of you may respect his wishes and allow him to serve his country in the way he sees fit.

God will be with him!
