    Re: Prayer Requests for the Families of Those Who Have Given their Lives in Service

    I got this in an email today; I don't usually pass on chain letters but this one seemed different. Chad is still alive but needs prayers desperately.

    Hi everyone,

    I got this request from someone I know and ask that you say a prayer for Chad and pass it on to as many as you can.

    Ronnie



    PRAYER CHAIN FOR CHAD FIELD

    Please don't break this prayer chain.

    From: Vicky Field - Granbury, TX.

    My son has been shot in Falujah.

    I wanted to get everyone to pray for my son Chad.

    Today, Sunday, I got a call from the Army that my son had been shot in the head.

    I am asking for all your prayers.

    He was in a Humvee going through Falujah fighting and a gang

    of militia fighters fired on the Humvee and hit Chad in the head.
    The driver got him out of the city and took him to Baghdad.

    He was in fatal condition, but now has been upgraded to stable critical.

    His dad and I are on standby to fly to Washington then

    on to Germany as soon as the military calls us to go.



    The Army is trying to stabilize him enough to fly to Germany and at that time we will leave. Please pray that my son will not have brain damage and

    that he will be restored and healed by the blood of Jesus,

    and the grace of God.



    I ask for you to pass this prayer request on so there will be

    many prayer warriors praying for him.

    Thank you so much and I will try to keep you updated on his condition.
    God Bless

    Vicky Field
    Granbury, Texas

    Please pray for this young soldier and please pass this

    request along to those who will pray for him.

        Praying that the Lord would be with all of those who have lost a loved one this year... it will be a very tough Christmas. Just seeing commercials on TV of families coming home to be together can be very hard to watch.
        Lord, I pray you filter their ears, eyes and hearts. Keep them focused on you.

        In His care,
        Tammy

            Dear Heavenly Father, please give all of these families the strength to go on with their lives in spite of the tragic losses they have suffered. Give them peace in their hearts, and let those who don't already know you come to put their trust in you. Pour out your healing power in a mighty way to bring them through this difficult time.
            In Jesus name,
            Amen.

                            If I have counted right, there are now about 121 names of soldiers who have died in the past 2 months, serving their country . There are so many families who are suffering, and though each loss is meaningful, it is noteworthy that many of those who died were in their early twenties. The amount of names coming in here are staggering.
                            Lord, please pour out your healing power into the grieving hearts of those who have lost their loved ones in a foreign land. Help them each day to go on for the sake of other children and family members. Surround them with loving support and meet their individual needs.
                            In Jesus name, Amen!
