Return of POWs after BOLD military prayer

4/13  Last night, at approximately 7:40 p.m. pacific time, I watched a large group of Marines bow their heads and give thanks and glory to God for the success of their missions. It was purposefully done as they waited for the Chaplain and in united fashion, (except for Geraldo), bowed their heads in thanks and praise on Geraldo Rivera Live.

For the first time since the Iraqi war began, I was in "shock and awe."

Our military, our government, Fox News, everyone had to have been aware of how every liberal and ACLU member would react. Yet there they were on Geraldo Rivera Live, with Geraldo himself a liberal.

At 7:30 this morning, I awoke to the spectacular news that seven of our POWs were released.

Mindful of the prayer last night, I'd like to know, when exactly were they released?

One reporter said (live) he had inside information six hours ago from someone "bursting at the seams" with the news that the POW's had been released, though he could not report it yet.

That would be 1:30 a.m. when the covert report was given,
5 1/2 hours after that prayer.

Reports are coming out as I type, the marines were totally surprised by the POWs. They had not been told to look for them, it appears it was a last minute release.

Shoshana Johnson's family just gave a very short statement, they thanked God and thanked all who had prayed for their return.

POW Ronald Young's mom and dad, at 8:11 a.m. said:

"We are so thankful to our heavenly Father... We were prepared to accept God's will...  You've got to have faith..."

"The Spirit had to be strong with them because we prayed for everyone, we prayed for our troops, our MIAs, even for Saddam Hussein, everybody was prayed for...   We felt the Spirit and uplifted because the only way we got through this was we felt the Spirit of the Lord, there was so much peace and comfort...  We thank our Savior for the sacrifice He made."

"God bless our country, our troops, they're the greatest and the best in the world. We need to all give special thanks for our troops. They have done incredible... our hats are off to them. Outstanding job over there, and I know they really been through some difficult times. Our hearts go out to those who have lost their sons in the war, but the Lord is the same, and the Lord is ..." [cut off, end of interview]

I think I know the sentiments Ron Young was about to express: Our hearts go out to those whose sons are not coming home. It's all about the Lord. Whether our troops come home to our families or home to our Father in heaven, it's all about the Lord.

Glory to God.

I pray that President Bush will have the courage to officially give thanks to God. I know the price to President Bush would be heavy, but it is that kind of faith that opens up the heavens and brings forth the blessings that we all pray for. It's what keeps this nation together. It's what moves God's hand to stay with us and protect us. Glorifying God as a nation is the single outstanding reason I am proud to be an American.   ~jen shroder
