I need some prayer or my brother
He is fighting the war, and I haven't heard from him in a long time. I really want to know that he is okay.
I want to see him return home safly.
So if you don't mind would you please include my brother, Matthew or matt, in your prayers. It would be most appreciated.
Thank you all.

Prayer for my brother
Footprints in the sand by Carolyn Joyce Carty
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of foot prints in the sand: one belonging to him the other to the lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the foot prints in the sand.
He noticed that name times along the path of his life there was only one set o footprints.
He also noticed that it was at the lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the lord about it:
"lord, you said once i decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But i have noticed during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of foot prints. I dont understand why when i needed you most you would leave me."
The lord replied:
"My son, my precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that i carried you."

I'll be praying. I know how hard it is to keep in touch with someone who's deployed in the military. I hope you hear from him soon. *Hugs*

OK, I'll pray for you.
I did the Navy thing for a long time, and although I wasn't sitting in a fox-hole somewhere, I can tell you that sometimes you just get so caught up in the day to day routine (and lack of sleep) that weeks can fly by unknowingly. Sometimes, we don't want to even think about home (remembering the separation) so we apply ourselves to the task at hand even more. Not hearing from Matthew can mean many things, including that he has confidence in those at home and he doesn't need to "check on things" very often.
If something serious were to happen to him, I would expect the military to contact your parents immediately. So in a way, no news is painful, but still good news. Have you tried mail/e-mail?

Still no word. Starting to stress even more now. I feel so cut off from him.
Still thank you all for the prayers, and some advice. Thanks. knowing that people care really helps.

One thing that can help is to stop watching news coverage (if you are) about the war. I'm still praying, hon. By chance, did he pack his cell phone? You can try sending a message that way. At the very least, you'll know he's received it.

You know you would think he would have a cell phone, but being the dork he is...he doesn't have one. *rolls eyes* I wish, I could message him. I'm sending a letter on friday, just for a reminder, that we are all here waiting for his safe return and that he has many people praying.
Thank you all

OK, it's been like 2 months since this thread started. Have you heard from him at all?
If not, I suggest:
1) Find out who the Command Ombudsman (-woman) is. This person is the big "morale for folks at home" contact. The can pass a message along to the commanding officer of his unit who can then smack your brother upside the head for not writing home.
2) Barring this, the American Red Cross has special authority to contact soldiers for emergency purposes. Not hearing from him might not qualify, but you might try to see if they will pass something along.

Quick update:
This news is really good. My mother got a letter from someone (don't know who) saying that they were sending my brother home in two months. Thank you everyone for praying. God heard our prayers and kept him safe. I'm really happy to know that he is coming home. Thank you again for your prayers and advice. it really helped to know that people care.
