Prayer9

Our heavenly Father, we come in behalf of our millitary in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Thank you Lord Jesus, for the men and women of our armed forces. Protect them as they protect us. Defend them as they they defend us. Encourage and strengthen their spirit, soul, and body. May they use this courage and strength as they execute their duties and responsibilities in service for our country. May they be mentally and physically strong when required to face the challenges of combat. Under gird them with Your Spirit and might when they are called upon to endure the hardships of battle.

I pray that nothing would take them by surprise, but that they would be aware of all potential aggression. Enable them to curtail hostile actions before they start.

Reveal to military leaders the strategies and plots that the enemies would wage. Give leaders wisdom and insight in all decisions. May response to any aggression by enemies of this nation be swift, accurate and effective. As Isaiah the prophet said, "You will look for them in vain. They will all be gone! I am holding you by your right hand--I, the Lord your God." And I say to you, Do no be afraid, I am here to help you."

Father God, give our military favor with the governmental agencies of this country. I pray that our Congress would appropriate sufficient funds to keep our nation's military preeminent in the world.

Thank you Jesus, for providing America with the best trained, equipped and lead military force in the world today. Fill them with Your saving grace and the gospel of peace that they may be shinning witnesses of Your love. Amen!
