            A prayer for our troops

Aloha

Dear Lord, 

So many good men and women are asked to put themselves in danger in their jobs as soldiers, and so many are finding themselves in danger every day.

The soldiers work faithfully.  Give them your protection, Lord, be a shield and a fortress to them, not only to their physical safety, but to their spirit, so that they can cope with the dangers their job entails, so they can comfort and uphold one another and can advance your purposes in the world.

We know that you have upheld them to this moment and with faith rejoice that you will continue to do so.

Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.  Protect them as they protect us.  Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need.  Amen.

Heavenly Father, we ask a special blessing and protection for each one of our soldiers willing to put their lives on the line for the freedom and protection of others.  We thank You for each of these soldiers and especially pray for the salvation of those who do not know You as their Savior and are in harms way.  We pray for those in leadership positions making the decisions regarding this war, especially for our President.  Please guide their thoughts and decisions.

Let us not forget the families of those who have given their lives in this war, be with them and give them Your peace which passes all understanding.  Bless each one who comes to you in prayer and hear our prayers, O Lord, creator of all the Universe and those who dwell therein.

We ask these things in the Name of Your Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
