He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.\u00a0 <\/em>Psalm 91:4<\/p>\n

Today we focus our prayers on those in the Military.\u00a0 The men and women who have chosen to serve to protect their country.
\nWe give thanks for all the people who have chosen to be in the Armed Forces.
\nWe pray for them to have courage and strength in time of need.
\nWe pray for their wellbeing, that God might give them good health in all environments.
\nWe pray that their faith will not fail, that God will be in their thoughts and hearts.
\nWe pray that they will seek the Lord\u2019s guidance and direction in their daily decisions.
\nWe pray for their protection night and day wherever they might be.
\nWe pray that they may say:\u00a0 Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in you alone. <\/em>\u00a0Psalm 31:4<\/p>\n

Dear God,
\nToday I pray for all those serving in the Military, wherever they are Lord God, you know.\u00a0 Be their Protector, their Guide, their Comforter and Friend.\u00a0 Be with them in the lonely night watches and in the un-certain daytime situations.\u00a0 Let them know You are near to them.\u00a0 Let them know they can call upon You at any time day or night and You will hear them.\u00a0 Let them be victorious Lord God, in all they say, think and do.\u00a0 Keep them safe Lord God, so they may return home to their families, friends and loved ones.\u00a0 In Jesus name I pray.<\/p>\n

(If you know someone personally who is in the Military, feel free to insert their name to personalize the above prayer.)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
