God
i know You're able
because You're God
and i'm not
i wouldn't want Your job
may i ask some things of You
will You protect
our nation
it's my home
it's where i was born
and raised
and i love my home
will You protect
our cities and towns
our buildings large and small
wherever we live
work
worship
play
sleep
keep us in Your Hands
will You protect
our transportation systems
whether by
air
land
sea
or underground
keep us safe however we travel
protect our military
men
and
women
fighting for our freedom
defending our nation
from enemies
foreign and domestic
keep them safe O God
let 'em know we appreciate them
and thank them for us
be with those that have lost
loved ones
in wartime
in peacetime
those that lost loved ones on 9-11
please be with their
families friends loved ones neighbors
comfort them as only You can
be with our
firemen
policemen
emts
search teams
dog teams and their handlers
and volunteers
as they serve the community
protecting us from ourselves
give them strength
give them courage
give them an extra blessing
and our thanks
protect our natural resources
power gas oil food water
keep it safe
from attack and disease
be with those that hate us
change their hearts
and let them learn to love
because hatred kills
destroys
and You are a God of love
i have a few special favors to ask
my daddy donald j. vidra
has a tumor growing in his spine
docs don't think it's cancer
but you never know
be with him
heal him
ease his pain
and Lord
let him come to know You
bless and protect
my sisters kathy kitty karen
my brother kenny
and their families
my step brothers jay greg
step sisters pat and beth
and their families
bless my friends at authorsden
You've given me a Gift
You've blessed me with friends
i've met a lot of folks here
and i'm grateful
if any are facing trouble ease it
if any are facing sickness heal them
if any are sad give them joy
two more things
protect us from severe weather
i know storms will rage
but i hate storms
with a passion
wouldn't be so bad if there were
basements
around here
but there aren't i think that's nuts
and when it storms
i'm terrified
storm phobic deluxe
pure t chicken
ease my fears
and protect my home
my work
from tornadoes
hail high winds severe lightning floods
and the last thing i ask
is forgiveness
i'm not perfect
never have been
never will be
forgive any sins i've committed
known
and
unknown
remembered
and
forgotten
i ask all this in Jesus' Name
thank You
and
AMEN

Dear friend, as I read I prayed along with
you in this deeply felt and wonderful prayer!
Remember--Matthew 18:19 "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

In "A Touch of Your Presence" are words that would inspire, encourage and strengthen one's soul when faced with challenges and difficulties and to know the awesomeness of God's power.
