Prayer for Our Troops

A prayer for our solidiers and their families.

A PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

Because my brother-in-law has been deployed more than once, over the past five years, I fully understand what a family goes through during long periods of separation and war.

They and their five children are constantly in my prayers. While he is away right now, I pray for his and other soldiers safety; the family's peace of mind; and the leadership of our nations.

Thank you for praying and here is a simple prayer that you can use as well.

PRAYER

Father I thank you for the special men and women of God who bravely defend the the lives of others. I pray that the angels of the Lord are encamped about them and no harm comes near them. Thank you Lord that the enemy is confused and his plans of destruction are unsuccessful. Protect our soldiers as they sleep and guide them safely through out each day.

Bless the families of our troops. Give them the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Provide them with every provision that they need and comfort them in times of distress. Bless our countries and their leaders. May they make wise decisions and be guided by the word of God.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

Prayers for Our Nation's Defenders: Scriptural Prayers to Strengthen and Encourage Our Troops
By Capt. Anthony D. Gray / Harrison House

Does prayer really make a difference in war? The answer is a resounding "yes!" if you ask author Captain Anthony Gray who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom and the War on Terror. Captain Gray developed these scriptural prayers to protect and encourage his troops and himself in battle. While in Iraq, Captain Gray did not lose a single solider in battle and injuries were minor. Now these powerful prayers have been adapted for soldiers, commanders, and citizens to pray for our troops. Prayers are divided into sections fitting for commanders, defenders, and the home team. Prayer topics include:

• Wisdom for Commanders in Battle
• Protection for Our Troops
• Boldness in Battle
• Confidence and Courage for Our Troops
• Peace in the Midst of Chaos
• Comfort for Family Members
