You came to set the captives free. Your ultimate objective is always restoration of all who will come back to You. You created each of us with free will, to live in dignity and the freedom to have choices in how we live our lives. You purposed this nation to be founded on Your principles. You have blessed us in response and made us to stand up to oppression of all kinds to help set other captives free.

Lord God, we are not perfect as a nation or a people. Not all who fight the wars set before us fight with the right motives. But we know that freedom is not free and has never been free and where oppression seeks to overtake ground, a stand must be made and sometimes this requires military action. Lord God, we believe that the fight fought by our troops today must be fought. They fight there so the battle does not come here. Lord God, You know this! Our troops need to fight to victory!

We thank you for each and every Eagle, each and every other patriot and patriot organization (including Band of Mothers) who stands behind our troops here at home so that they can fight the fight there.

This week Bev Perlson is back in D.C. standing for our troops. With her are many GOE members, FReepers and other patriots. We ask Your blessing on each and every one of them. Give them divine appointments and encounters which have as an effect an increase in the support our troops have from the public and the government. Give them the strength to stand and the words to say. Cause the public, i.e., tourists to be drawn to them and take the idea of supporting our troops back to their respective communities. By Your grace, by Your power, cause what they do these three days to have a greater effect than can be seen. Bless each of those who stands up financially so they can continue to stand up for our troops.

We also ask your blessing on the Action in front of Code Pink headquarters tonight. Lord God, again cause there to be visibility by those who will spread the message. Let those who support our troops continue to operate with dignity and decorum which honors You and sets them apart from others who protest with hate and childish actions.

We trust that You will enable these actions to run perfectly according to Your plan. And especially when it feels we are like Joshua and his army walking around Jericho with seemingly no effect, we choose to trust in You that at the proper moment, in response to our obedience, You will bring the walls of the structure down which sets itself up against You and our troops and the principles for which they stand, so that it can be rebuilt on the right foundation.

Thank you again for each and every GOE member, each and every other patriot. Do bless them richly with joy, inner peace, confidence in You, health, provision ,protection and safe passage to and from actions. In Jesus' name, Amen
