That is not exactly how she said it. She "urged students to pray “that our leaders -- that our national leaders -- are sending [soldiers] out on a task that is from God.”

She added, “That's what we have to make sure that we are praying for: that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan.”

That seems to indicate a prayer for God's favor. It is more congruous with "God's will be done" as opposed to "God wills it."

 

She believes that the national leaders are sending soldiers out on a task that is planned by god.

 

Explain to me how that can be taken as asking God for favor, it sounds more like she is tell the students to pray that she and the national leaders are correct.

Really, explain it.

Watch the 7 minute video, and explain to me exactly howfar out of context it is being taken.

 

She didn't say: "God's will be done" or "God wills it."
