Prayers for our soldiers!!!!





Good morning and happy eve, eve, eve of Thanksgiving....wow this year has flown by, maybe the saying "the older you get the faster the days go by" is true. I pray you are having a wonderful day, that you are not stressing to much about the feast for Thursday! Remember nothing is perfect except for God's love and that even if you don't have everything done just the way you like...it will still be wonderful.

I sat for a very long time this morning giving thanks to our Father in heaven for allowing me to be in his world, I sat before the sun came up in the dark, quiet of my little home and lifted prayer for you and yours asking God to make provision for each and every human today, that HE hold you gently in HIS arms today filling you with hope, that HE nudges you in the direction HE needs for you to go so that you can light the path for someone in need, asking HIM to allow the veil to be thin so that you can feel and sense the spirit of that loved one you miss so badly....Heavenly Father I come to you on bended knees asking for your love to be impressed upon each of us, asking that you answer our prayers and that you allow us knowledge that you will never leave or forsake us. Father as this holiday season approaches so many are away from their families, our soldiers on foreign grounds are struggling just to stay alive each day. Bless them Father with a shield of protection, bless them with an immense feeling of love in their hearts and an awesome feeling of respect from each of us here who are with family and friends, who are enjoying freedom because of them. 
Father God, we are so grateful for the courage and selflessness of our brave troops. 
Extend your guidance over all of them today and every day, Lord God, that your kingdom of love, grace and mercy may inhabit all the earth. 
Send your Holy Spirit to each of them and their families at home, to comfort and strengthen them until their loved one returns, and to be with them as they learn and grow in your spirit. 
Father, we remember all those who have gone before us and pray that you lift them to your highest heaven. 
Finally, we pray for our enemies, Lord, and for all their captive peoples. Bring the light of your Son and our Savior into their hearts and minds. 
In Jesus' holy name. Amen.
