Topic: Love & thanks ~ to our beloved Soldiers... | |
---|---|
I think that Lee Greenwood said it best: From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee across the plains of Texas From sea to shining sea From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A. there's pride in every American heart, and it's time to stand and say That I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the Men who've died, and gave that right to me, and I'll gladly stand UP Next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain't no doubt I LOVE THIS LAND !!!!!!! God BLESS the USA. Thanks Rapunzel for stating this thread. Sully US Army '82-85, and '86-92 ODS. 19K20 (to you civvies, that's Sergeant on an M1 Abrams Tank in Desert Storm) Please check out welcomebackveterans.ORG Sad fact#1 An estimated 30% of our homeless in America are veterans. Sad fact#2 The amount of attempted suicides of our returning veterans is almost 400% more than any other time, with approx 2,700 attempts in the last 4 years. I pray that they all would use sporks, and not real knives or guns. May God bless the American fighting Woman and Man (and our allies too) |

Soldier's Psalm 91 Prayer
By Harriet Yoder O Lord Most High, help me to dwell in your secret place and abide under Your shadow. Help me to believe and say out loud for everyone to hear that You are my refuge and my fortress; that You are my God; and that in You I put my trust. O Lord God Almighty, please deliver me from hidden traps and diseases. Father God, cover me with Your camouflage; hide me under Your wings; and let Your truth be my shield and buckler against the fiery darts—the lies—of the enemy. Lord Jesus, help me not to be afraid of terrorists' attacks in the night; or weapons that fly by day; or sicknesses that walk in darkness; or destruction that wastes at noonday. O Holy God, though a thousand fall at my side, and ten thousand fall at my right hand; please let it not come close to me and my companions. O Lord Most High, let me live to see the reward of the wicked, because You are my refuge and my home. Let no evil conquer me and let no plague come into my house or near my family. O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer, please set angels over me to keep me in all Your ways, to bear me up in their hands and to keep my feet from stumbling. Father God, help me to tread upon the lion and adder and trample the young lion and the dragon under my feet. Lord Jesus, I love you with all my heart and I know Your name. Deliver me and lift me on high to soar with the eagles. I call upon you to be with me in times of trouble to deliver and honor me because I know Your name. Please show me Your salvation and satisfy me with a long life. I ask this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ Amen. |

A Soldier's Prayer
Almighty Father, Whose Command is over all and Whose Love never faileth, let me be aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will. Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and in deed, and helping me so to soldier and to live so as to stand unashamed and unafraid before my fellow soldiers, my loved ones, and Thee. Protect those in whose love I live. Give me the will to do the work of a man and to accept my share of responsibilities with a strong heart and a cheerful mind. Make me considerate of those entrusted to my leadership and faithful to the duties my country has entrusted to me. Let my uniform remind me daily of the traditions of the Service of which I am a part. If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, bestow upon me courage to try again. Guide me with the light of Thy truth ~ and keep before me the life of Him in Whose example and deliverance I trust. In the name of my Lord, Amen. ~ Authored by an unknown World War II U.S. Navy Serviceman |
