Soldier prayer request

I believe in the power of prayer...so, too, must Lyle Shackelford, a soldier in Iraq whose unit is preparing to take part in this month's elections in Iraq. Already, insurgents have called on violent means to disrupt voting. I got this e-mail from Frank Moore at First Lutheran Church. He, and I, usually won't forward such e-mail. Who knows if Lyle Shackelford is even real? But I bet there are soldiers with similar sentiment. Besides, what the email asks for won't cost any of us a dime:

As a transportation battalion, my unit will be delivering the voting machines and the ballots to villages and cities throughout Iraq during the upcoming elections. (January 30/31) Our convoys are prime targets for the insurgents because they do not want the equipment to arrive at the polling stations nor do they want the local Iraqi citizens to have the chance to vote; timely delivery must occur so that the elections occur. Encourage your friends and family members and those within our churches to pray specifically for the electoral process.

Historically, the previous totalitarian regime would not allow individual citizens to vote.

Democracy will not be realized in Iraq if intelligent and competent officials are not elected to those strategic leadership positions within the emerging government; freedom will not have an opportunity to ring throughout this country if the voting process fails.

Announce this prayer request to your contacts throughout your churches, neighborhoods, and places of business.Those with leadership roles within the local church post this message in as many newsletters and bulletins as possible. There is unlimited potential
for God's presence in this process but if we do not pray then our enemy will prevail (See Ephesians 6:10-17) A prayer vigil prior to the end of the month may be an innovative opportunity for those within your sphere of influence to pray. This is a political battle that needs spiritual intervention.

A powerful story about God's intervention in the lives of David's mighty men is recorded in 2 Samuel 23:8-33.

David and his warriors were victorious because of God's intervention. We want to overcome those who would stand in the way of freedom. David's mighty men triumphed over incredible odds and stood their ground and were victorious over the enemies of Israel. (Iraqi insurgents' vs God's praying people).

They don't stand a chance. I will pray with my soldiers before they leave on their convoys and move outside our installation gates here at Tallil.

My soldiers are at the nerve center of the logistic operation to deliver the voting machines and election ballots. They will be driving to and entering the arena of the enemy. This is not a game for them it is a historical mission that is extremely dangerous. No voting machines or ballots. No elections. Your prayer support and God's intervention are needed to give democracy a chance in this war torn country.

Thank you for reading this e-mail.

Thank you for your prayer support for me and my family. Stand firm in your battles.

Blessings,

Lyle CH (CPT) Lyle Shackelford

Battalion Chaplain

HHD, 57th Transportation Battalion

Which part of the request are you endorsing? The victory of "God's praying people" over the "Iraqi insurgents?" I think the insurgents pray a lot too. How will God decide which side to choose?

Jackie Wilson said:

It isn't important that we know God's will to pray for what we think is right.We pray for what we earnestly believe in. The end of every intervention prayer should end with "..your (God's) will, not mine, be done."

My comments were more about the power of prayer against attacks on the convoy. I agree with Jackie -- in the end, it's 'God's will be done.'

Nancy,

Welcome to the blogosphere! I wish you well in your efforts and will check in regularly. Thanks for your community minded spirit, and the good work you do over at the N&R. I will personally hope and pray for the elections to go well in Iraq, for as few as possible people to be hurt or killed by terrorist acts, for the Iraqi's to come to peace amongst themselves, and for us to be able to get out. If it is "right" to pray, it is right to pray for peace and against suicide bomber/murderers I think, whatever one thinks of US policy. About Revelation, well, there have been tsunami's, earthquakes, bad storms, mudslides, and all the rest since, well, that little bit about eating the forbidden fruit. Nothing really unique happening right now, whatever one thinks about Revelation. Peace. Joel

Kehaar said:

I'll echo comments about prayer being about God's will rather than our own. The Lord's Prayer reads "thy kingdom come, thy will be done". And I believe Islam is a literal translation of "surrender to God's will". So no matter what side of the ball you're on, the goal of prayer is the same thing.

Darryl Waisner said:

A better prayer would be for our misguided government to bring our troops home. Then let the native people set up whatever form of government they so desire instead of some puppet government set up by the US. It seems evidently clear to me that Iraq is developing QUICKLY into another "Vietnam" experience for the US. How many sets of combat boots will be displayed via the "Eyes Wide Open" exhibit before there are no more US soldiers occupying a foreign soil.

Also, is it not interesting that it has been considered to absolving the use of automobiles a few days prior to the Iraqi elections? How are people expected to get to the polling place? What kind of "democracy" is that? And the great blasphemy of this is that it is the American military purposing such ludicrious ideas. Prayers would be much better directed toward the misguided leaders who force their ideas on other soverign nations.

Roch101 said:

I'm getting a little confused. If, in the end, God's will is going to be done anyway, what is the point of praying over unfolding events? It seems contradictory to do as Jackie suggests and pray for what we believe in yet end with a sort of "But you do what's best, God." Are we giving God permission to do his will with such a prayer even if it may not agree with what we just prayed for?

I know this may sound a little confrontational, but it's a serious question I've had for a while. How can we possibly expect any kind of influece through prayer while at the same time saying God's will is going to be done anyway? It seems to me that the implications of these kinds of calls for prayer are either that God won't do his will unless we let him know we want him to, or that he absolutely will do his will in which case asking for earthly events to unfold a certain way is pointless. Any help?

Michelle Pulido said:

I'll respond to your question, Roch101, as best I can. First of all, God is sovereign. In other words, He is in charge. Nothing happens without his knowledge or without his allowing it. However, He allows people freedom to choose, as long as it fits His purpose. Joseph was taken as a slave and later imprisoned although he followed God and was innocent of the crime. Later, he became the ruler of Egypt, second only to Pharoah himself and was able to save his entire family from death due to famine. He told the brothers who had sold him into slavery, "You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good..." In Job, we are plainly told that Satan has to ask God's permission to afflict people and Jesus tells Peter that Satan asked to "sift him (Peter)like wheat". People often ask, why is there evil in the world; evil is the result of sin, as is death, the Bible tells us, "the wages of sin is death".
In regard to prayer, we always have to go before the Lord with an open hand in regard to our requests. He often puts prayer requests on our hearts and it is a privilege to be allowed to be a part of His plan and His work here on earth. God is an extremely complex being, He has always existed, He is all-powerful, omnipresent and all knowing. It is difficult for us to understand what He is working out in History and how it all comes together. Trust me, prayer works. He answers the prayers of those who believe in Him, not of everyone. Sometimes, His answer is yes, sometimes no and sometimes, not yet. Read the Bible for the whole picture.

As for Joel's comments on the tsunami and Revelation; yes, since the fall of man, there have been natural disasters. It is a result of sin. However, we cannot ignore what Jesus said (Matthew 24:6-8), "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows (or birth pangs)." We have had strife among nations and other natural disasters since the fall of man, but it is now with increasing frequency, as Christ said would precede the end.

Rachel said:

As good as your intentions are in praying for the soldiers, why don't you send them more care packages and letters? I hear they really like phone cards.
It may help you to not worry as much.

Jacob Plante said:

I am facing 0-4 years. I go to sentencing on April 21st. This is my first offense. I have already served 4 months in jail. I have repented and learned my lesson. I had an interview with a probation officer on April 8th. The officer said she is going to recommend probation. Please pray that the judge follows her recommendation and gives me probation and no more jail time and no prison time. Please pray for me. Thank you very much for your prayers and God Bless You.

PRAYER FOR THE UNIVERSE
Dear God The Father, Dear God The Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, Dear God The Holy Spirit, You are all Wonderful, all Love, all Truth, all Wisdom, all Greatness, all Peace, all Kindness, all Knowledge, all Good, all Pure, all Perfect, all Knowing, all Merciful, all Understanding, all Infinite, all Eternal, and all Wholesome God! Thank You for teaching, leading, protecting, and guiding us and providing for our needs! Thank You for Your lovingkindness, faithfulness, and generosity to us each day! Thank you for all the kindness and blessings you shower upon us! Praise to You, Dear God The Father, Dear God The Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, Dear God The Holy Spirit! Thank You for all the blessings You continually give to us and to all the people of the universe each day.

Dear God The Father, Dear God The Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and Dear God The Holy Spirit, I come to You today to plead for myself and for all the people of the universe. We are all individual travelers on this earth, and I ask You to touch each one of us. I ask You to wake us up with a kiss from You. There has been a side of us that has been sleeping. It seems difficult for that side of us to be awake because it thinks differently than what society programs us to think. By letting that side awake, we will become deprogrammed from the powers of darkness. Please wake us up with Your Kiss of Love so that we will feel You, Your Love, Your Goodness, Your Truth, Your Word. Please awaken us with a great revival by flooding all of us with Your Wonderful Holy Spirit so that we can see Your Love, Wisdom, Greatness and Beauty, reflected in nature, people, animals, and all living beings. May we be able to truly stare at the reflections of You, since we cannot stare at You. You have put up with a lot from us. You see our hearts. You know us, and You unconditionally love us. It is so hard for us at times to resist the temptations of life that are not good for us; they seem to smell so good and taste so nice but they make us sick and have bad consequences that take us away from You. Our eyes need to be focused on You by looking at Your reflections and Your Words. We need to spend time talking with you with our hearts. We need to be quiet and still so we can listen to Your Heartbeat and try to mimic Your Heartbeat with our heartbeat. We need to be still of mind so that we will be able to hear and see You in all living things. We need to nourish that side of us that hungers and thirsts for You, for Your Parenting, Your Love, Your Wisdom, Your Goodness, Your Mercy, Your Kindness, Your Peace, Your Physical Contact and Your Fruitfulness. I want myself and all the people of the universe to feel Your Wonderful Loving Touch, to feel Your Arms around us, to Hear Your Words of Wisdom, to do Your Will, and to give honor and glory to You.

Dear God The Father, thank You for Your continual generosity to us. You continually shower us with Your blessings. You gave us Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as a sacrificial lamb for our sins, so that our sins are forgiven, so that we have the opportunity to go to heaven to be with You. Dear God The Father, it is true that the way we live our lives is a reflection of our true attitudes, beliefs, and love for You. With this in mind, please edit and reprogram our hearts, souls, minds, and bodies, our internal and external existence, so that they will be filled with only the highest, most beautiful, love, joy, creativity-filled, inspiration-filled, truth-filled, courage-filled, and peace-filled energy. Please may our hearts, souls, minds, and bodies, our entire beings, glow and shine and glimmer and sparkle, bright and strong, with your highest, most beautiful, love, joy, creativity-filled, inspiration-filled, truth-filled, courage-filled, peace-filled energy.

Dear God The Father, please may Your healing, loving, empowering energy currents flow always and completely through us. Please dislodge and completely clean and remove any blocks in our being, so that we can receive your Holy Spirit. May Your Holy Spirit have completely free passage throughout our beings. Please help us to be completely submissive and cooperative to doing Your Will and giving honor and glory to You.

Dear God The Father, please may You set holy angel warrior guards in charge of our entire being, our heart, soul, mind, and body. May our entire being be protected from the powers of darkness. Please may Your holy angel warrior guards protect our entire beings, so that we remain completely fresh, clean, loving, courageous, faithful, trusting, peaceful and hopeful. Please constantly renew us in You. Please may your holy warrior angels calibrate, enliven, clean, perfect, and tune our spiritual energies so that we can give to others and others can give to us that which we need for our highest good. Please may Your holy warrior angels set up our light shields so that we are impenetrable to attack by the powers of darkness. Please may we be completely open to Your Holy Touch; completely open to Your Love, Peace, Joy, Creativity, Laughter, Delight, and Companionship.

Dear God The Father, please align our energy-light and our imagination with that of your highest and best so that we are in constant contact, unity, and rapport with what is bearing good fruit, loving, and pure. Please help us to free ourselves from worry so that we will be light, enlightened, and delightful. Please may we dance, sing, praise, play, create, and build with You and Your Holy Angels and Saints, today and every day.

Dear God The Father, please cultivate love, beauty, truth, courage, abundance, and the fineness in us and around us. Please draw us to true love, true beauty, truth, true courage, true fineness and true abundance all around us. Please help us to really see, experience, absorb and enjoy Your love, blessings and goodness and fruitfulness.
