"On this day of prayer, we would like to lift up the soldiers of our country Lord, who are away fighting for the freedom of others. We pray that You would keep them in the hollow of Your almighty hand. Protect them, give them courage, give them peace, and draw them to you Lord. There are many who don't know you, and we pray that you would even change them, and draw them to You. We pray for those who do know you, Lord, that you would be their firm foundation, and their Rock of Defense.
Remember them Lord . . . "
In your prayers today, please remember our soldier who is fighting bravely in Iraq, Thomas Semmens. Thomas is a crew chief for a Black Hawk helicopter. He has had many sobering experiences in the few months he has already served. Including are the deaths of 8 fellow soldiers from the Alaska National Guard, who left the same time he did. One of those fellows was his age and had become a good friend. We pray that Thomaas will arrive home safely after he returns from service. He was married in July of 2005 to his sweet wife Julie, before flying out to the field of battle a few months later. May our Lord bless and protect you both. Please know how much we love and support you Thomas!!! Our prayers are with you always.
