Theme Pages: Pray For Our Military

This page was done just before the war to liberate Iraq
from the tryanny of evil.

I'm keeping it in this patriotic section because I believe it reflects the heart of what our prayers should always be for our military in the United States.

I Praise the Lord for the victories won! An evil despot is defeated.
A people have an opportunity for freedom, but the fight is not over.

And now, more than ever, because of the increasing hostilities and violence, we need to stand fast and continue to pray and stand in support of the memebers of our military! They would rather be home with their loved ones, but are doing what they are called to do, their duty, in helping to make the world a safer place for us all. Let's not give up on them and grow disinterested. They are in harm's way, carrying out the sometimes thankless job of helping democracy to have its way. Remember that
Freedom is NOT free!
Think of the birth of America!

Thank You Lord,

for the men and women of our armed forces.

Protect them as they protect us.

Defend them as they defend us.

Encourage and strengthen them in spirit, soul, and body

in the execution of their duties and responsibilities.

May they be mentally, physically, and emotionally

strong when they are required to face the

challenges and dangers of combat.

Under-

gird them with Your Holy Spirit and Might

as they are called upon to endure

the hardships of battle.

May they not be taken by surprise and astounded

by the enemy or anything that comes against them,

but be aware of all that surrounds them,

as You make known Your heavenly

forces in the air who do battle in the realm

of the principalities and powers.

Make them foresee all potential aggressions

before they come upon them.

Equip our military leaders and all those in command

to make wise and knowledgeable decisions,

giving them insight into the strategies that

will best accomplish total victory with as few

casualties as possible on either side of the conflict.

Please be with those who may be

captured and held hostage.

Be their strength and set them free,

safely back with their comrades.

Give them hope and faith and let them

know that YOU are there with them where they are!

Give our military favor with all the countries

that could be of assistance in this war

so we can stand united with those of the

same goal ..

a peaceful world to live and work together.

Thank you Lord for a superior, well trained,

well equipped military in the United States.

Thank you for the willingness of the brave

men and women who are now putting themselves

in harm's way so we can walk free in this land

of freedom and rights. Fill them with love for You

and call them out among the nations to a faith

in You and a love for righteousness

as they honor our country in serving us all.

Thank You Lord for the other nations who

were willing to join with us to rid the world

of an evil despot and his fellow leaders.

Bless them with peace and prosperity

as You are blessing us.

Bless and keep the families of our military members

with peace and calm as they wait for

their loved ones to return home to them.

Give them the courage of warriors during

the separation they must endure.

Help the little children to understand that their

parents are fighting for them and

their right to remain free.

Give

them supernatural comfort during this time

of war and hostility. Let Your Gospel be extended

to them so they may know that

no matter what comes,

they can be with you in security forever!

Father in Heaven, let us as a nation of free people,

come together in unity to uphold our precious rights

and rally around our leaders who have so much

on their shoulders at this time.

Help us to stand strong, not mocking our country

or leaders, but upholding them

in prayer and moral support.

The time for protest is over. The fact is:

We are now at war.

Let us pray that victory and restoration is swift

and that this will be a step forward in ensuring

that all people of the world can live

in dignity and freedom and peace.

AMEN!

The following poem was sent by Marie Alexander and reflects the
heart's cry of so many of us in the United States in this time of war.

Our sweet Marie is now at home with our Lord!

MY PRAYER

Hearts are heavy now, dear Lord

For WAR is looming there

Our prayers are calling out to you,

Our thoughts too much to bear

Be with our loved ones--THEY NEED YOU

Guide them, lead them, see them through

Bless our leader--for we know

He asks Your blessings --needs them so

Protect the innocent--shield their lives

As bombs and missiles streak the skies

Open our hearts , fill them with grace

Guard our loved ones in that place

This I say--in earnest prayer

THANK YOU LORD I know YOU are there.

The words of John F. Kennedy (our 35th United States President)

With a good conscience our only reward, with history the final

judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking

His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's

work must truly be our own.
