If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.

We pray that the Lord will watch over you and preserve you from injury and that you may return home and pick up your lives again.

The strength of your commitment is measured by your willingness to give your very lives for that in which you believe.
