January 25, 2005

The elections in Iraq are coming up quickly. Please keep praying for the people of Iraq and for all our soldiers and Marines during this most dangerous time. Someone just e-mailed me these verses from Daniel :

Blessed be the name of God forever and ever
He KNOWS all, DOES all:
He changes the seasons and GUIDES HISTORY
He RAISES UP kings and BRINGS THEM DOWN,
He provides both INTELLIGENCE and DISCERNMENT. Daniel 2: 20 and 21 CEV

Isn't that just the most reassuring thing. God is in control!

We haven't heard from Adam by phone for over 2 weeks. Sure would like to hear his voice - but we are so thankful for what communication we do have. I'll be flying to Texas tomorrow and spending some time with Jesse, Sid and Paula.

Please pray right now:
1. For the elections in Iraq - for the people to be protected from the insurgents. That God will set His person on the throne as He guides history.
2. For the Marines and soldiers during this time - that they would be alert and focused. That they would have insight into the enemy and surety of their mission - intelligence and discernment. That they will be protected.
3. That I would be an encouragement to Jesse, Sid and Paula

Thank you so much for your prayers.

In Christ's love and protection,
Jill
