Praying can make a difference, and it is up to all of us to try that, with faith, and see if it will not support these admirable troops, their spouses, and their families.

Prayer doesn't just change things - it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly and surely we become better people.
Can we pray for the re-election of George Bush?
Nothing makes us love a person as much as praying for him.
I pray as much as possible.
I am a religious person and rely heavily on prayers.
Prayer is not a substitute for work. First we have to do all we can ourselves to understand a situation. Then when we ask for help, sometimes it is very evident, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes we may well be helped by not getting a decision.
As I prepare for this next phase in my life, I ask that people continue to offer the prayers that have protected me thus far. I also pray that I will always see those who are not seen and easy to forget in the hustle and bustle of Washington politics.
Prayer is a privilege and the soul's sincere desire. We can move beyond routine and 'checklist' prayers and engage in meaningful prayer as we appropriately ask in faith and act, as we patiently persevere through the trial of our faith, and as we humbly acknowledge and accept 'not my will, but Thine, be done.'
It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice.
Until I feel strong enough to pray sincerely and to act accordingly, I would rather not pray at all.
