DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on October 29, 2010 at 3:39pm: Father God, I pray in agreement with all my sister's here in all their needs. Also, I pray for the people in Japan and well as our military there. Keep a protective hand over each and everyone and see them through this typhoon. Father I ask for your peace and comfort over our new sister here who is going through such tremendous pain and suffering. She is not complaining, but only asking for Your strength and guidance to get her through. There are so many prayer requests Lord and we all know that you hear each and every one. We know that You care and are answering each. Be with NYPD while he is working with the suspicious packages. Keep him and all the country safe.

I also am praying Father and BIG prayer of THANK YOU!!! Thank you for allowing the courts to rule in favor of Andrea and her keeping custody of my beautiful granddaughter, Marissa. Praise God!!!! Also, thank you for allowing me to have such a blessed and wonderful time with my son, Allen while he is home on leave. Thank you for guiding and protecting him, even when he had his vehicle breakdown on his way to Michigan from Ohio. Thank you for putting the right people in his path and the help and protection over him. You are and AWESOME GOD and I PRAISE and HONOR YOU. Continue to work in Allen and jessica's marriage. I pray that she is being faithful and true to Allen and their marriage vows, Lord. Help little Maddox with her problem that You are aware of. Help Jessica to find out what is wrong and help Maddox to be healthy.

Again Father God, thank you for allowing us to come to You and for Your blessings and love and protection. In Jesus name, Amen.

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on October 29, 2010 at 2:45pm: Lord, I just want to pray specifically for Blondie's daughter in Japan. Please keep her in a safe place. As Your Word says, please, "plant her feet on a high rock and shelter her in the cave" You provide.
Jesus, please be with our new sister, "Proud of My Son", I thank you that she found this place where there are other women to help hold her up to You. She has gone through so much Lord, and yet there was no complaining in her request. Please honor her for that. It is so hard for us to accept that sometimes Your will for us takes us through some very hard times. Please touch her body and heal her completely according to Your divine will. Lord please take away any pain she may be in right now. I ask that You might allow me and other willing sisters here to bear her pain for her even for a little while that she might get the rest of body and mind that she needs. Jesus, even as she has to wait to find out exactly what is going on we ask You to give her Your perfect peace and also Your perfect healing. You are our Great Physician and we just commit this dear sister to You. Thank You again for bringing her to us. In Christ's precious and glorious name we pray, Amen

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on October 29, 2010 at 1:29pm: Prayer request for my Navy/NYPD son. He is inactive right now & works for NYPD presently. Right now he is working in the anti-terrorism unit within NYPD because of all that is going on with UPS and now FedEx and suspicious packages. Please pray for all those involved.

God of Heaven, we acknowledge you as sovereign of this world. Lord you know our needs even before we know them. We especially pray for our sailors in Japan - please wrap Your loving arms around them and keep them safe. We ask for a wall of safety to keep them safe on land or sea right now. We also pray for all the various PDs in the cities involved with these suspicious packages. We pray Father that You will protect our country. We ask for Your forgiveness for our country's sins and to hear our prayers for the country. We thank You Father that You are more powerful than any evil force active in this world today. Please keep our military safe overseas and bring them safely home to their families. We ask all this in Your Son Jesus' precious name, Amen

Comment by ProudOfMySon (Ship 09 Div 291) on October 29, 2010 at 9:07am: This is the first time I'm posting - I have been through 2 very serious surgeries this past year to remove 2 spinal cord tumors. My relationship with the Dear Lord has become so much closer because of this. He has answered all of my prayers for 2 safe and successful surgeries. However, the Dr. has spotted yet another spot where the 2nd surgery was performed. He isn't alarmed yet, saying it could be a vessel, scar tissue or a number of other things, including the regrowth of the tumor. I ask that My Dear Father have mercy on me and touch me with his healing hand. To please let the spot be exactly what the doctor said, a vessel or scar tissue. Please Dear Lord command all illness or disease to leave my body and restore me to perfect health, so that I can continue to do your will...your will be done.

Also, please say a prayer for other spinal cord tumor sufferers, that they to may have safe, successful surgeries and that they will find refuge with our God.

God Bless everyone who has posted on this site and may God grant and hear your prayers. The power of prayer is remarkable.

Comment by Navy-avimom on October 29, 2010 at 2:25am: Lord I pray for my daughter in her third week of booot camp. She holds you in her heart and shines with your grace. My King Lord, bless all our new salors. Thank you for your gifts and help us to be strong while we wait to see, to hug, and talk to them soon. Amen.

Comment by jean on October 27, 2010 at 9:22am: Thank you God for the Navy Bible

Comment by Zephyr on October 26, 2010 at 11:50pm: Praying for my son's personal relationship with God, and that it will bring him strength, comfort, wisdom, joy, and peace. Praying that God will bring him friendships with stronger Christians, and that they might support and encourage each other.

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 26, 2010 at 6:37pm: I love seeing you all take care of each other, and bless your special relationships with God.
Losing a parent is never easy--no matter that we are adults. I felt so oprhaned when my Dad died--then my Mom a few years later. At this time, though, losing my brother has been so hard. I so want to talk to them. I praise my grief workshop--it was so helpful. And doing the Bible study with "90 Minutes in Heaven."
We all want our families to have strong marriages. We must pray for that bond continuously.
Custody--yes, been there with my step-daughter. Her mother would disappear with her on our visitation days. It broke my heart to see my husband so upset. Now we have such a good relationships with her--and to know how many years she tried to get us inculded in high school and college graduations, visits, etc. However, she came to us first when she met her future husband and happily eloped. So, our prayers were answered for her happiness. She and our son are quite close--as close as you can be when she and hubby live in Germany, and son is in the Navy. They facebook a lot, which is great.
So, may God be your guide, and may we be the shoulders you can safely and comfortably lean upon in tough times.
God Bless, Carol
