O Almighty Lord God, who neither slumberest nor sleepest; Protect and assist, we beseech thee, all those who at home or abroad, by land, by sea, or in the air, are serving this country, that they, being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore in all perils; and being filled with wisdom and girded with strength, may do their duty to thy honour and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For deliverance from all danger, violence, oppression, and
degradation, let us pray to the Lord.

Defend them, deliver them, and in thy compassion protect them, O Lord, by thy grace.
Lord, have mercy.
Liberator of captives, and defender of the poor, physician of the sick, and champion of kings, O trophy-bearer, and Great Martyr George, intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
When despondency seizes us, let us not give in to it. Rather, fortified and protected by the light of faith, let us with great courage say to the spirit of evil: "What are you to us, you who are cut off from God, a fugitive from Heaven, and a slave of evil? You dare not do anything to us: Christ, the Son of God, has dominion over us and over all. Leave us, you thing of bane. We are made steadfast by the uprightness of His Cross. Serpent, we trample on your head."
-- St. Seraphim of Sarov

RIP my friends
To the friends and families, you have my thoughts with you.
Jon, Bert I hope you make it out of there.
To those who did this - you WILL be found!
Where did you get that Verse under the pictures Vicki?
Thineprof
It's from the Book of Common Prayer, pg 491. It's based on Job 19:25-27.
Vicki
Bert is dead. His body was found a week ago I think. I hope Jon's body is found soon.
