We request that you pray with us for the safety of our son, all of our soldiers and for a speedy end to the war. We need to send so many prayers up to Heaven that God will be able to send his Angels to respond to our cries for his help. The more we pray, the stronger God's back up will be so everytime you think about those across the oceans and here at home too - say a prayer! Our prayers and faith in God can and will make a difference. Thank you Jesus!
Psalm 91 -- Matthew, our son, wanted to memorize this chapter in the Bible. He told the story of soldiers on a beach in Germany. They started reciting this Psalm as they were being fired upon and escaped unharmed. There is power in this Psalm and it has been many a Soldier's prayer. It is also his Father and Mother's prayer for their son.
Our prayers are with our son and we pray that God will guide each of his footsteps covering him with Jesus' blood from his the top of his head to the tip of his toes.
Often when my children were young, I would draw pictures to help them remember something -- even as simple as how to spell a difficult word. Hoping the pictures in this video will help him now to remember the words to this very powerful scripture.
Thank you for dropping by and hope you enjoy the video!

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
Surely he will save you
from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you say, "The Lord is my refuge,"
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
Psalm 91:1-16 (NIV)
