COL Mikel Burroughs good read/share: for the Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day. Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THEIR EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICENT on this day May 29, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of June. As you know I would respond a lot throughout the week, but I am full-time DOD employee doing contracts for the Defense Contracting Management Agency. It is good to have sometime on my lunch break to respond.

I expect you are spiritually mature to understand that the most poignant peace occurs during testing and trials of the soul. God provides the peace which surpasses understanding during periods of grieving as HE brings us waves of joy and peace. This peace draws others to query us and opens doors to sharing our faith in God through atonement of the Christ Kirk.
I pray that you and I are alert to the Holy Spirit as HE guides us and prompts us throughout each day. LORD let YOUR light and love shone through each of us to those who are hurting and especially those who think they are alone in their suffering, my brother-in-Christ Cpl (Join to see).
I lift YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are on the front lines of the global war on terror to YOU. I pray that YOU bless each one with a large increase in wisdom and discernment as they work to dismantle the global terrorist organizations, financiers, and profiteers.
I pray that YOU place a hedge of protection around those investigating the source of the Coronavirus-2019 virus and that YOU guide them the true source of this virus. I pray that YOU confound the conspirators and profiteers and that YOU shine light on their dark deeds for investigators to see.
Thank YOU, LORD for YOUR Word: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." [Philippians 4: 6-7 ESV]
I pray that the scientists and researchers in the USA and our allies will be the first to develop effective and safe vaccination for Coronavirus-2019 and that we will share this information with each nation who has people who have been infected.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Friday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Never forget who will leadeth you to lie down beside still waters, if you let Him. He is your shepherd, you shall not want.
My the Lord blesseth us all, and leadeth us all unto still waters on this fine day.
My the Lord blesseth us all, and leadeth us all unto still waters on this fine day.
