OPERATION PRAYER SHIELD
PRAYING A SHIELD OF PROTECTION

CBN Is Calling The Nation To Pray For You!
We are asking God to build a shield of protection
around each of you and your families back home.

Many of our partners want to send you
a personal greeting of encouragement.
Please know that you are loved and
appreciated and we are storming
heaven’s gates on your behalf.
Thank you for your valor and courage.

Psalm 3:3 –

“Thou O Lord, art a shield about me,
you are my glory and the
One who lifts my head.”

From Deborah: You are my heroes. My family has been in the military for at least the past three generations and even though I was a teenager during the Vietnam War, I was never a peace baby, i.e., I never put down the brave men and women fighting for what is right. I just want to leave you with one of my favorite scriptures, it has given me comfort for many years now: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee. (Is 26:3) GOD Bless You All

From Jay: We who remain at home pledge to stand in the gap for you, to be intercessors for you and cover you with prayer until you return home to us. We will call you by name and pray for your safety, and for the comfort of God's love for the wives, children and loved ones you had to leave behind. May God Almighty be your shield and your portion.

From Charity & Sheila (Navy wives): I would like to take a moment to thank each and everyone (unlike the protesters) for the ultimate patriotism that you are showing. Never have I been more proud to be a Navy Wife. I thank you for all of the sacrifices that you have made and those you have yet to make. YOU ARE THE CREAM OF THE CROP! The group of Americans who willingly defend our great nation by Land, Air and Sea. I am proud to stand behind President Bush and the men and women who enable us to live in this great free nation of ours. In closing this letter I would just like to quote our favorite part of the Navy hymn. "O' FATHER HEAR US WHEN WE PRAY FOR THOSE WE LOVE SO FAR AWAY" This is our prayer for each of you. May God bless, keep and guide you all.

From Joshua: Our family’s prayers are with you. We are very proud of who you are and what you do. Thank you for protecting us.

From Laura: Thank you for all that you do for our country. I am so glad that there are people like you that leave their lives and families to fight in a war, so that I may stay at home with my family. You are truly brave and I am blessed because of you. Take heart and know that I, personally, will be praying for you all, and also that there is many, many more praying for your safety. May God bless you and your families.

From Carla: Thank you for stopping your personal lives to answer the call of America. I pray safety for you and a loving reunion with your loved ones. God speed to you.

From SPC RYKS': It is with great honor that I get to write a letter of appreciation to you today. I understand the pain you must be going through as you miss your loved ones back home. You see my husband and I are both in the Army National Guard and have been deployed at the same time in two totally different directions of the world. We found that the only thing that got us through it was prayer and mailing each other constantly. I would mail him three sometimes four times a day. Our prayers and gratitude are with you as you help all service members (active or reserved) fight for what GOD has given us...freedom!

From Nette: Our thoughts and prayers are with you daily. We thank you for accepting the challenge to defend our nation.

From Shirley: Thank you for your sacrifice and courage during these difficult and uncertain times for our country. Know that many of us back home are praying (and fasting) for you and your families. God bless you and keep you and let His face shine upon you and give you His peace. I also pray that He give you strength for the days ahead. God bless you and keep you.

From the Roosevelt, AR Lighthouse Bible Study: We are a small group of Christians in rural Arizona. We have a Bible study every Thursday evening and we want you to know how much we appreciate your service. We will be praying for your safety and your peace as well as world peace. We appreciate you and pray for your courage. We will be standing on Psalms 91 with thousands of other Christians praying for you. Thank you for choosing an honorable and a courageous career. May God be with you and bless you through this time. We will also pray for your families’ peace and safekeeping.

From Addsion: Your courage and dedication serve as an inspiration to all of us. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers through the day and night. We stand beside you and will be with you in spirit through the days ahead. Please know that each of you is loved and cherished. We give you our full support and place our trust in you. You make our hearts swell with pride, and we are richly blessed to have you keeping us safe and protected from harm. Thank you so very much.

From Lea: Thank you for loving our country and fighting for our freedoms. God bless you and keep you safe and return you to your families and America soon. I will pray for you at all time. You are in the care of God and God is in charge. I love you all. You make me proud of our young people who believe in bringing to the world the freedoms we enjoy. Your mission is noble.

From Donnie & Cindy: You are in our prayers each & every day. We do not take lightly the sacrifices you are making for our freedoms & safety. Know that you are covered in prayer each moment as you walk into various situations. As God has called you to serve in the physical capacity, He has called us to serve in the spiritual capacity. THANK YOU for what you are so courageously doing.

From the Ayers family: My family and I are praying for God's protection and strength for you - may He put a hedge of protection around you and your family. We will keep you, your family, President Bush, our leaders and the United States of America in prayer. We are so proud of you and thank you for defending the freedom of our country! God bless all of you and God bless America!

From Bill: I am from Satsuma, Alabama...My family and I are praying and asking God to provide for all of your needs. We are asking that God will disrupt any evil plan that is devised against you. Be Strong--Be Brave--Hurry Home!

From Robin: I pray that the Lord, our God, would bless you and keep you in His almighty care; give you strength, courage, stamina and rest each day that you are away from your loved ones. I pray that God would bless your loved ones and keep them safe while you are away, until your safe return to them. I pray that you and your loved ones would know, love and serve the One who created you/them in His image, and lean upon Him each minute of your life, so that you might spend eternity with Him. I thank you for your daily sacrifice for our safety and the safety of this great country.

From Donna: I would like to thank you for your sacrifices. I know it must be very hard to leave your family and friends to go into harms way. My prayers are with you. I believe in our country and I believe in you.

From Beatrice: Be strong and be courageous, for the battle is not yours, but the Lords. For those who have a relationship with Jesus, please don't give up your faith. For those who do not have a relationship with Jesus, please do not harden your hearts. Jesus loves you and
He wants to spend eternity with you. God is in control.

From Pam: I want to THANK YOU for the job you do everyday in defense of our country.
As a teacher and leader of a Girl Scout Troop, I find myself apologizing to the children of the United States for the fact that they live in a fear this country has not know for decades. I also convey to them the fact that brave men and women risk their lives daily in defense of the freedoms we enjoy. Thank you again for your everyday resolve to protect the United States.

From Lora: With war looming over us, I just wanted to send an e-mail of encouragement and prayer. I pray that our Father God will hold each one of you in His hands and protect you. I pray that the war will be quick and effective in its goal. I pray that each of you will be home with your families soon. Don't let the news of the protesting discourage you! There are many here at home who back our president 100%, and are forever in debt for the sacrifice you are making. People need to see the "big picture". It is for our future and freedom that you have been called to fight. God bless you all, and God's speed home!

From Wendy: God grant you the courage for the battle ahead, and the victory that only He can bring. God keep you safe and secure. Thank you for fighting for freedom and for those lost on 9-11. May your victory be swift and short, In Jesus Name! I love you all with the love of the Lord. THANK YOU!

From DD: May God bless and be with each of you. When you feel scared, just look to God and stand on His word and pray. You are all in my prayers and America is very proud of you. I am a disabled Navy veteran and I realize your sacrifice. We all love you.

From Julie: Listen.... Can you hear the prayers being prayed for you? They are being said every day, at all hours of the day and night. I heard that some of the men are worried that the Americans are not worried about you and the people are in the streets putting the war down. Well, maybe some of them, but the important people will never let you down one second of the day. You know how the press is, they will cover only the "worst" of Americans and not the best. I guess they don't understand the best of us! I love each and everyone of you and I promise God is here and He is there where you are. We will all come through this together, and you men are the best of what real America is about.
