US soldiers in Iraq asked to pray for Bush
They may be the ones facing danger on the battlefield, but US soldiers
in Iraq are being asked to pray for President George W Bush.Thousands of marines have been given a pamphlet called “A Christian’s
Duty,” a mini prayer book which includes a tear-out section to be
mailed to the White House pledging the soldier who sends it in has been
praying for Bush.“I have committed to pray for you, your family, your staff and our
troops during this time of uncertainty and tumult. May God’s peace be
your guide,” says the pledge, according to a journalist embedded with
coalition forces.The pamphlet, produced by a group called In Touch Ministries, offers a
daily prayer to be made for the US president, a born-again Christian
who likes to invoke his God in speeches.Sunday’s is “Pray that the President and his advisers will seek God and
his wisdom daily and not rely on their own understanding”.Monday’s reads “Pray that the President and his advisers will be strong
and courageous to do what is right regardless of critics”.
