If 12 soldiers a day are committing suicide despite seeing this sign every day coming and going, then I give the sign a great big FAIL. Useless and pathetic excuse for actually doing something to help people in pain. Just pray it away doesn’t work and we know it.
Dear Mary,
Soldiers committing suicide as sad and terrible as it is, is a selfish act on their parts and wanting to alleviate the pain. As Christian, I am all in favor of soldiers getting counseling, seeing a chaplain and even praying, as prayer is the mightiest weapon in the Christians arsenal. We are not looking to praying it away, but prayer with counseling can bring relief and healing. I am personal friends with someone who use to suffer extreme PTSD from the Vietnam War, who went through his own personal hell after the war, but Christ has totally delivered him from that, and now he and his wife minister to hundreds of soldiers suffering today with PTSD, and seeing them get free as well through the power of prayer and counseling! Prayer does work, the problem is that we live in a microwave society that wants instant results and for God to work on our timetable, but He has His own time frame to work.

Soldiers killing themselves is not a selfish act particularly when they are been scarred by war and/or they face harassment and being made to feel that they are not part of an organization because of who they are. If prayer really works, then why are not more soldiers being cured of PSTD? Of course, soldiers pray before battle so prayer should have prevent the soldiers from getting PSTD in the first place.
You have any statistics that prayer has cured more soldiers than all the other therapies combined?
God works on his time table? Well that is no help at all to the soldier and his/her loved ones particularly when the loved ones are suffering from the soldier’s violent outbursts and physical force inflicted on them and the end result is that many family members are killed or physically and mentally scarred for life.
Yeshua Warrior,
I’d like to see some evidence that prayer actually cured your friend’s PTSD.
When bad things go away, you can’t just say “God did it” and call it a day. There has to be a causal relationship.
And studies on the efficacy of prayer have consistently shown that prayer does nothing, and in some cases can cause harm.
Mr. Ashman, if you could, could you provide those links about prayer doing nothing and actually causing harm? I have asks YM if he has any firm statistical data reports regarding prayer actually curing soldiers, and so far he has provide nothing concrete.
