daywalker:
I pray regularly for all soldiers everywhere, including their families, regardless of whose side they're on. I pray the deaths, damages and destruction caused by war is as little as possible, and I pray that those who survive the war [regardless of whose side they are on] are able to find medical attention for all their wounds--physical, mental, spiritual.
War is very bad thing... unfortunately, we humans just can't seem to get enough of it, and the body count always includes millions of innocent bystanders and people who were just 'at the wrong place, at the wrong time'. It's incredibly sad, but thank God one day it will be over:
"...They will beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nations will not take up the sword against other nations,
and they will no longer train for war."
-Isaiah 2:4, NET

(Jesus praying for His disciples)
John 17:6-10 I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.
1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him
Excerpt from 'What is the Gospel of the Kingdom' (http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,6142.msg50217.html#msg50217):
I knew a lovely man when I was in Worldwide. He came down and gave some Bible studies for us and I really did love the man. His name was Ray too. But he made the comment once… now he understood about universal reconciliation, he just did not get the spirit. He said, ‘we can be thankful we live in a nation and in a time where we are not persecuted.’ And he said, ‘I’ve never been persecuted.’ Guess what? He was not living completely Godly in Christ Jesus, that’s why.
When you always do what’s right, you will be persecuted and probably by some of your closes friends. Maybe your wife or husband, your mother or father, your children or neighbors or working associates. Not the least of which is your own brethren in the church will persecute you, if you always do everything that is right.
They say - Oh we’re going to make little ribbons and hang them on the trees, to say bless our soldiers, may they kill many Arabs today.
You say - well I don’t want to do that.
Them - what?
You - I don’t think it’s right that we do that.
Them - well what’s with you? You’re not patriotic? You don’t believe in killing?
You - no.
If you don’t think you will be persecuted, I’ll tell you that you will be persecuted.

Hi Silent_Loner
God has decreed that there shall be no peace in the world. L Ray Smith
Jesus Christ would not pray against or in opposition to the Plan of His Father. Neither should we! :)
We are not of the world even as Christ is not of the world. We are IN the world.
Joh 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them (us, you, me, our brothers and sisters) out of the world, but that thou shouldest KEEP THEM FROM EVIL.
That is such a beautiful prayer. It is written! No one can un-write what is written! :)
