Protection for Service Men and Women

***That God would protect our service men and women both home and abroad.

Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
It is necessary to have a militia and to protect our nation, which You have been so faithful to protect throughout our history. Were we not founded as “One nation under God”?

Truly, You have been with this nation and with those who have served to protect these freedoms which we enjoy. Thank You. In the major wars of the earth, You have been with us and with our men and women in arms. Thank You. You have given wisdom to those in power who have called upon Your Name. Thank You.

Father in heaven, we have turned from You and gone our own way. We have turned our back on Your provision and Your ways. Forgive us. We have not revered the freedoms that so many died to secure. We have not treasured freedom in Christ. Father we have turned our back on You and in doing so, one this nation. We have abandoned those who serve in the armed forces. We have taken our freedoms for granted, forgetting that these gifts are from You. Forgive us.

We put the lives of those who protect us at risk in our folly to follow our own desires and forsake Your Word. Forgive us. Cause us to repent. Press us, and pester us that we repent.

Father, for those in the service, who protect our nation, I ask Your specific presence upon them .May they be cognizant that they are not alone, that there is a God of Creation who knows them, cares for them, and desires relationship with them. Cause Your Word to proliferate in the lives of these men and women. May the Light of Christ flood their hearts and minds and may they fall at Your feet to say, “Help Lord!”.

For those who know You, grant them words of hope and encouragement. Make them salty! And may those who see them be genuinely curious. Give words to Your servants, Father may all these in the service follow You - leave not one behind! May they be commissioned for the Kingdom of Christ.

There are so many infiltrations that have permeated our service branches that are antithetical to Your Word. Father, cause those false gods, those false religions, to be silent, to be irradiated from within the services. Those who seek to silence the Truth, may they turn from their wicked ways and embrace Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth and the Life. And if they will not do so, strip them of hope, of courage, and desire. Cause them to come to confusion, to be exposed and to be taken down.

Protect the service men and women with Your mighty hand. Plant peace within them and may they find courage that is beyond their understanding. Make them diligent to protect and save our nation. Father, may those of us who have forsaken them, and taken their work for granted, cause us to repent.

I ask that the U.S. change our ways to see the plight of the veteran and to reach out and care for those who are back home and suffer. Prick our consciousness that we may repent of our past misdeeds. As these men and women have secured us, may we turn and secure them in their latter years.

Hear my prayer, in Jesus’ Name.
