When your children are away in school or the military, pray more

When the children are away in school or the military, should we pray more than usual?

Yes, and you probably already do that! But I am going to add that you place holy water on their photos. By doing so you are in a way requesting God to keep them away from evil and disease, and to provide them with protection.

I see all of these soldiers dying in Afghanistan, and then you have the Haiti earthquake where American citizens lost their lives, besides the thousands of Haitians that will no longer be able to walk this earth.

A few days ago, I read about this female student at Virginia Tech whose remains were found abandoned in a farm field after months of her disappearance. Apparently she was picked up by someone during a concert, and she never got home again.

Just yesterday, I found out that a nephew of mine who was 52 years-old was found death at a Walgreen Pharmacy parking lot. He had been in and out of jail for almost his entire life after he finished high school. He was found wrapped in a blanket totally abandoned and just two blocks away from his mother's house, my oldest sister. He was homeless for he could not live with his mother because of his abusive nature.

What is the relationship of these two lives, totally apart in social status, age, education, and lifestyles?

At one time they were babies, innocent and smiling at the world. Then one day death came upon them prematurely regardless of position in life. This is the only common factor between these two lives, and with all of us. Some day, we must all go, but we want to go in peace and not violently.

So we pray for our children that God protects them and gives them a safe journey through life. I insist and hope that people will take my advice and place holy water on the photos of their children, especially when they are not living with you on a regular basis.

Please go to my latest article on Ezine Articles on this page, and read my article titled "Holy Water - A Proven Method to Heal Injuries and Cure Pain." It will give you some ideas on how to use this miraculous water for protection of your children.

Should you need a prayer for someone that is ill in you family, please don't hesitate to ask me, and I will include you in my daily prayers.


God bless,
