Here we go again... another deployment

Deployment Prayer

Dear Lord:

Give me the strength to say goodbye.

Hold back the tear in my eye.

Cure my insomnia so that I may sleep alone.

Give me a reason to awake when I’ve none.

Dear Lord:

Please help me pace myself.

Allow me to turn to you for help,

And please let me be strong for him, Even if I’ve reached the brim.

Dear Lord:

Please make time go fast. I don’t know how long I can last.

This is the hardest time of my life, But this is my job: the soldier’s wife.

Dear Lord:
Let them all stay strong. Give them the will to go on,
And Lord, 
Please bring back all our men. In the name of our country. Amen.

We are at the beginning of yet another deployment. This time, 12 months to Afghanistan. BLAH.BLAH.BLAH!!!
