"A Prayer for Our Tr!"

Almighty Commander,
In this time of need
as our tr bleed and die
in order to liberate those
created in Your image,
we declare our dependence upon You
on behalf of them.
So does our President.
And for good reason.
These we love are brave, but human.
They are strong, but also weak.
And while they seek a speedy end
to this necessary evil
we seek Your face, O God.
Protect our daughters and sons
as bombs explode and guns fire around them.
Give them clarity of purpose amid casualties
(both military and civilian).
Cure their homesickness
with a sense of Your Presence.
Nourish their hunger for peace.
Renew their confidence
in the cause for which they fight.
Revive their flagging spirits
as You remind them of the values
for which our Banner stands.
One nation, under You,
with liberty and justice for all.

A Call to Prayer for Our Tr
Our men and women in Iraq
are under stress and fierce attack.
They need our prayers regardless
how we feel about the war.

Defending freedom far from home
our tr can sometimes feel alone
and when their mission is maligned
they wonder why they¹re there.

The risk is real as terror thrives.
Just add up all who¹ve lost their lives
in liberating helpless ones
who dream of being free.

They¹re strong and brave, at times afraid.
But they take heart to hear we¹ve prayed
for health and safety, faith and peace
and courage to keep on.

Don¹t let them down. It¹s up to us.
We¹re called to pray. We simply must.
Our gallant soldiers look to us
as we look to our God.

"The Aftermath of War"

The war is over (so they say).
So why do tr still die?
The death toll's mounting day by day
and critics wonder "why?"
"Why did we go to war?" they ask.
"Why can't we find Hussein?"
"Why can't we find those missing nukes?"
"Why not in heaven's name?"
"Why can't our soldiers leave Iraq?"
"Why must they linger there?"
"Why doesn't Bush say 'That's enough'?"
"Why can't he seem to care?"
But, maybe those who criticize
should understand the score.
What's going on is not a game.
It's gruesome, bloody war.
There are no halves or innings.
There are no rules or refs.
And unlike golf there is no prize
when there is sudden death.
In some ways it's like Calvary
when Christ defeated sin.
Our foe was wounded and he'll die
and when he does, we'll win.
But in the meantime we're on guard
for mines and sneak attacks.
Our victory is guaranteed,
but we must watch our backs.
