A Combat Soldiers Prayer

Dear Lord,
Keep us safe today as we go through our daily turmoil.
Keep the drivers of the vehicles alert as they make their way through the treacherous country-side. Lord let the bullets be off the mark as the bad guys try to take us down.
Lord keep the children in this country safe from the mines that they might grow to appreciate what it is that we are doing here. Let these children find that killing is not a way of life that it is a choice.
Heavenly Father please keep all soldiers safe from our enemies no matter where they are in this Combat theater. And Lord it is in your hands so if you could possibly see fit could you please let the IEDs and VIEDS and HME placed on the roads to kill American soldier be either duds that miss or could you please blow them up with the people who emplace them to ensure that they will not be able to emplace them anymore.
Lord if it is in your will please keep us safe and our families safe so we can experience that joyful reunion that we all look forward to on a daily basis.
Lord forgive the things that come out of my mouth as bad things happen and help me to walk with you and keep my sanity. It is in your heavenly name I pray.
Amen
