CountryUp.org - Special Forces Prayer

By Stephen M. Apatow

As the G7/20 leaders meet to discuss the historical challenges on the table, strategic planning must begin with the focus of stabilization for the household level, and the humanitarian crisis that now impacts the majority of United Nations member countries. This weekend, I spent time on two small projects, (1) to mix "The Eagle Will Rise" and "Times Up" (theme song from Rock the World 2008) and (2) a soundtrack for the " Special Forces Prayer." Almighty GOD, Who art the Author of liberty and the Champion of the oppressed, hear our prayer. We, the men and women of the Special Forces, acknowledge our dependence upon Thee in the preservation of human freedom. Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless and to free the enslaved. May we ever remember that our nation, whose motto is “In God We Trust”, expects that we shall acquit ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our faith, our families, or our fellow men. Grant us wisdom from Thy mind, courage from Thine heart, strength from Thine arm, and protection by Thine hand. It is for Thee that we do battle, and to Thee belongs the victor’s crown. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, forever. AMEN -- Adapted from words written in 1961 for William Pelham "Bill" Yarborough, Written by SF Chaplain John Stevey, the 7th SFG (ABN) Chaplain. www.prayer.sfahq.com For the One who holds this whole picture together..... Stephen Michael Apatow Founder, Humanitarian Resource Institute Advocacy: www.humanitarian.net/presbio.html Email: s.m.apatow@humanitarian.net MySpace Music Connection Url: www.apatow.org ---------------------------------------- Country Music Association artist Stephen Michael Apatow has been there, taken the issues, met with the executive directors of the frontline programs, conducted the talks for youth and community leaders in hundreds of United States cities, coast to coast. The bottom line was needs analysis and "to bridge Unmet Needs to Untapped Resources." After forming Humanitarian Resource Institute in 1994, he became an advocate for this work in all 50 states and territories, and at the request of leaders in Washington expanded his reach to every United Nations member country as an advocate for policy development and humanitarian relief in the fields of medicine, veterinary medicine and law. Today, this work continues with an objective for collaboration and unity, including his work with the music and entertainment industry. We invite all artist and arts organization to join us in this cause, for the sake of the vulnerable and those who have not the capacity to defend themselves. #### Note: The full html enhanced release was posted on MySpace Music: www.myspace.com/apatow
