The Prayer of a Military Spouse I held my breath as the President began to speak.
I had to sit down for suddenly I was weak.
I listened so intently, I hung on every phrase.
What he said would determine all my coming days.
When he talks of disarming, I have a personal stake
Because one of those who will fight is my own soul mate.
He's over there, I'm over here, just waiting for the news
When will the battle start? How many lives will we lose?
I know that I must be strong, I must maintain my faith
But it's so hard when he's in harms' way, working in Kuwait. With shaking
hands I bow my head and say the thousandth prayer. "God hold my husband in
your hands while he is over there.
"Bless the President and give him strength to do what he must do. I know
it's complicated so give him wisdom too. Protect the other soldiers who are
stationed so far away. Give them courage to face the duties of the day."
"And don't forget the innocent ones who must see this war.
Just like during the Passover, keep harm away from their door. I know that
it is so selfish, but could you help me too? I need more faith to trust in
You, my fears to subdue.
"I know that You are in control, You know what is the best.
I pray for Your guidance while we go through this test.
And when the fighting is over, the battle is at an end,
May we have peace at last. In Jesus' name. Amen."
