Today is the 8th anniversary of the beginning of the war in Afghanistan and it is very sobering to think of the casualties we have suffered in those 8 years.
I would ask you to pray today for our military troops serving their tours there now and the ones that will be undoubtedly following them in the months ahead. They are serving in a very dark place against an enemy that has no regard for life...not ours...not their own. Pray too for their families waiting here at home as we know that the military families serve our country just as their loved ones do.
In the news the last few days we have heard of the request for 40,000 more troops to be sent to Afghanistan and the debate that naturally follows such request. God knows the needs there and my prayer is that those in charge seek His wisdom and direction in making any decisions either for or against that request. I pray that the Lord will protect our troops, that they will be able to serve with integrity and honor, that more will be drawn to God through the difficult times they face, that they will be victorious in their efforts, and will return home safely to their families at the end of their tours.
God Bless...
