News or Noise

"God, let your freedom and righteousness reign. Judge with your all-seeing eye; may you be the one to punish the wicked.

"As I take shelter in you, protect my body, mind and spirit. May no harm come to me, no disaster come near homes, barracks, tents or any dwelling. (Picture a bubble of God's light around every person, every place.)

"Command your angels to guard us in all your ways; may they minister your word: 'They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' Let us tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

"I acknowledge your name Lord God Almighty, and I love you. It is in your name that I ask you to rescue and protect ... not only us, and our families at home, but also the innocent people of Afghanistan from all evil. Break the bondage of hatred, violence and fear. Release the Love of the Father, The Light of Jesus Christ, and the Life of the Holy Spirit into the world that Peace may be established.

"Be with me when I call on you, and answer my prayer. Be with me, my company, my family, my country, and this country, in times of trouble, and deliver us. Grant all of us with long life.

"Where there is fear, your perfect love.

"Where there is doubt, your faith.

"Where there is ignorance, your wisdom.

"Where there is lack, your abundance.

"Where there is disease, your health.

"Where there is darkness, your light.

"Where there is trepidation, your peace.

"Where there is weakness, your strength.

"Where there is anger, your peace.

"Where there is unforgiveness, your forgiveness.

"Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen."

Enough said. Amen.
