A PRAYER

FOR THE TROOPS SERVING IN OTHER COUNTRIES

Dear God,
I pray that the Christian troops will not be worn down or oppressed by:
their situation;
the violence & hate;
by the derision & condemnation of people who say our troops are only there to impose ourselves on other people.

Dear God,
Help them see that they have a great opportunity from you to:
enter into lands and areas where Christians would not normaly be allowed;
share the gospel with their fellows & the civilians they would not normally be allowed access to by the anti- Christian & anti-Bible laws in Muslim & other religious areas.

Help them to see the vision of themselves:
standing against tyranny & chaos & self serving country leaders;
the defenders of the helpless & oppressed.

I pray that they will have their eyes openned to see the opportunities to:
demonstrate God's love in action & words;
handout the Bible in the people's language;
show the compassion, strength & healing found in the faith given by the one, true, God.

Amen
