Lord, I ask that you keep my husband safe during this deployment. Please allow me to remember to cast all my fears and anxieties onto You and remain strong for our children. Lord, I'm terrified of the next year and all of the changes that will occur during this first deployment but I trust in You. Please be with our men and women; protect them from harm and let all of them come home safely to their families. Also, bless the people that stand behind them. Amen.
