"This is American soldier Maj. Mark Bieger. He found this little Iraqi girl after the car bomb that attacked our guys while kids were crowding around. The soldiers have been angry and sad for two days. They are angry because the terrorists could just as easily have waited a block or two and attacked the patrol away from the kids. Instead, the suicide bomber drove his car and hit the Stryker when about twenty children were jumping up and down and waving at the soldiers. Major Bieger rushed this little girl to our hospital. He wanted her to have American surgeons and not to go to the Iraqi hospital. She didn't make it. I snapped this picture when Major Bieger ran to take her away. He kept stopping to talk to her and hug her." Michael Yon
I know this breaks my heart. How much, I know, it must break God's heart!
WAR. What a tragic thing we have to go through. For those of us who are left here to watch and listen for the reports of the soldiers, all we can do is simply PRAY! PRAYER CHANGES EVERYTHING!!! Jesus said that if we have faith we can move mountains. "For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20 We must believe, have faith, and trust that the Lord knows what He is doing!
Not only should we pray for the soldiers, but also their families who are also giving up so much so that this nation can be free. Pray for their safety. Pray for their hearts, minds, bodies, and souls to be protected. Pray for their salvation. For we know that when they believe in Jesus, they can do all things through Christ who strengthens them. Philippians 4:13 And also pray for God's will to be done. Though it may be hard to take what God's plan may be, we must know that He is in all control and that He knows best.
God bless the soldiers of war, physically and spiritually!
