Praise the Lord for watching over my brother!

I was sitting at the table this holiday with my younger brother who serves full-time in the military. And my brother was among the troops who got sent overseas because of the Ukraine. And in the beginning I kept praying that my brother would not get deployed. And when he got the final ok that he was being deployed was held back from going. This happened two times. But there came a point where I had to be honest with the Lord and I finally just told the Lord if he's needed to let him go. And I'm by no means saying the Lord didn't let him go because I said. But I felt in my heart that I needed to just trust the Lord with my brother. Sometimes we don't trust the Lord as much as we really think we do. My reasoning I did not want him going was not that he was going to die, but that if he died due to negligence because of all the stuff going on, I just don't trust the new administration we had especially after the Afghanistan incidents and the way we deal with current affairs. So I prayed for my brother and his people to keep there eyes open and to make the right decisions and not just do stuff because somebody said so and to speak up if they needed to. And this week at the dinner table my brother told us he almost died over there during training. They were teaching them how to use our artillery systems under guided supervision of course and they were horrible at it. The artillery strikes came so close to them that they had to call off the training because each mortar kept getting closer and closer everytime it went off. And the general got mad and said they weren't allowed to do that because it was against there orders. I don't know what happened in between then but my brother ended up coming home two months early. He said an investigation was opened over the training exercise when they got back and that general is no longer in the military anymore because he was going against safety protocols. But I remember sitting there thinking I'm pretty sure I prayed for that. But one of the most glorious things is when the Lord shows you that he does hear our prayers.
