I have another request; I have a friend that is in Iraq, and I worry he will make it back here. It's not just a worry, it seems that god is trying to tell me he is gone. I don't really think anything happened to him, but I had a dream where the friend that is in Iraq showed me a really bad wound on his leg (but he was not in pain) and I closed my eyes so I wouldn't see how bad it was. I ask that everyone keep him in their prayers. He has small children, and he loves them.
God Our Father, in Jesus' name, we lift up this friend to you for your protection. Lord bless him and keep him in your loving care and free from all harm. Lord, end all wars and let your people live in holy peace. BVM please intercede. Amen
