Prayer before combat...

Alex,

You do have a group around you like this. Every person in the group will come around you and pray. We may not be physically there with you, but we are spiritually and we have our arms around you just like God. Remember, everything works out for good for those who love the lord. it is in the storms when our faith is tested and our trust is revealed. Lean upon the everlasting arms and let God comfort you in the midst of the storm assured that he is your refuge and your fortress, shelter beneath his wings, and rest. Remember it is not our effort but his that takes us to heaven and gives us life. So raise your head and look into His glorious face and know that you are loved and never alone.

Dan,

Thanks for stopping by. we appreciate all the prayer we can gather. Jeremy is a prolific writer and photographer, if you are interested go to our blog Iraq Diaries and you can read his emails and see photos. Just scroll down through the comments. As new emails arrive I post them in the comments.

All these young men are amazing, as much as we hear of support etc for them we do not fully appreciate what they endure for our freedom. I pray that not only will they all return physically well but that they will all be mentally healthy as well.
