Prayers for our troops & their families.
Our prayers are going up !!!
Prayer bump!
Heavenly Father, awesome Lord, we give You all praise. Nothing is beyond You. Nothing is before You. Nothing is above You. You createde the heavens and the earth. No one else. Only You hold the power of life and death, only You are love and have the power to save.
Oh, how we adore You! How can we do anything else! In awe of You, we come gleefully before You as Your beloved children and bow reverently before You. Only One who is holy, we are not worthy, but by the sacrifice of the blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ we gain entrance into Your holy sanctuary.
Father God, You know. You understand. Our battles here on earth are not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities and powers in the heavenly realms, against this present darkness. This is the root of all wars and nothing else. As long as we are on earth, not in heaven with You, there will be war and we will have to fight for freedom. This is not a fight where we can be victorious unless You are with us.
Oh Lord God, You know the war we are fighting right now to stop terror from spreading and You know the battle we fight here at home to enable those who fight for us over there to continue their work! Lord God, we cannot make progress without Your power, without Your strategy, without Your provision and protection. And so we come before You know and ask for Your Holy Spirit to descend with all of Your attributes with increase in our circumstances, to release strategy and to do the work. Lord God, be with our troops overseas. Be their covering. Be their Guide. Let Your favor surround them like a shield according to Your promises. Where there are those who do not yet know You, cause them to know You with increase, little by little, day by day. Give them pockets of time in their day where they can be drawn to Your Word. Show them passages which speak directly to their hearts. Give the chaplains the words and opportunity to reveal Your Truth.
Lord God, give the officers Your strategy to win this war. Give them Your strategy for progress and protection for the troops. Give them Your strategy to continue equipping the Iraqis to fight for their own country and give those in Afghanistan Your next steps. Write Your strategy and Your truth on their hearts!
Lord God, guide and direct the steps of each troop, that they may walk in increased safety. Show them that You are there so that they may trust more in You and thus seek to hear and obey.
Be with every member of every military family. Be their comfort. Show them how You would have them live in the absence of their deployed family member. In Jesus’ name, remove all fear. TEach them how to walk in less worry - though this will only be possible by Your power, certainly not our own.
Be a comfort to the families of those troops You have called home to be with You already in eternity. Lord God this hurts!!!! They are so missed here!!!! Only You can provide comfort and only You can give these family members their new purpose to keep going - a purpose which can only be found in Your purposes. Teach them, dear Father, that they may day by day make it through and eventually move on -walking forward in Your work for them, while never forgetting.
Bless our wounded. Be their ROCK. Help them to see Your hand in their recovery. Let them see that there is still great purpose for their lives. Surround them with those who support them and can speak life to them.
Lord God provide Your strategy, covering, protection and provision for those who are standing up at home for our troops overseas. Thank you for each and every one of them. Thank you for the Gold Star families fighting for the troops to fight to victory and for the HONORED memory of their loved ones. Thank you for blessing the visits last week to D.C. by Vets For Freedom, Gathering of Eagles, Free Republic, Band of Mothers and so many, many others. Thank you for what You did both seen and unseen in these visits and stands for freedom.
Thank you for continuing to bless and provide for all the FReeps - Walter Reed, Olney, and Westminster just to name a few. Lord God raise up those to do the same on many street corners across America. Let those who are called hear the cry to arms by Free Republic members and now Eagles Up.
Lord God, all this is not just for our troops and our freedom. You use ALL things so people would come to know YOU! Do the work. Work through our obedient circumstances to reveal the wonder of who You are by doing things differently, by causing impact and victory for these groups who support our troops, when everything logical says it should not worl. Logic is not Your Wisdom. Your Wisdom and Ways are SUPREME!
We wait in joyful hope and expectation of what You will do next. We commit to go joyfully through our days, trusting in Your perfect provision and protection and strategy. We commit to tell the story of how You have worked when You are done so ALL will know You alone are LORD. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen
What an amazing prayer! It only comes from an intimate relationship with our Lord and you have proven that you know Him well. Thank you for such beautiful and anointed words. Maryxxx
