Pray for our American Heroes
October 10, 2009 | Irish Rose

Posted on 10/10/2009 12:24:58 PM PDT by Irish Rose

O LORD, I say to you, "You are my God."
Hear, O LORD, my cry for mercy.
O Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer,
who shields my head in the day of battle—
do not grant the wicked their desires, O LORD;
do not let their plans succeed,
or they will become proud.
(Psalm 140:6-8)


TOPICS: Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: america; military; pray; prayer
Holy Father, we come to You in faith, believing that Jesus has opened our way to You. With this confidence we pray.

Father, our prayers are with our troops, and ever more earnestly as things grow more precarious in Afghanistan. Remembering all the good they have done for us, we ask that You would do good for them. We plead that You, Father, would be their strong deliverer and shield them in the day of battle.

Lord, the war we have been waging in Afghanistan has come to a crossroads. We have little faith in those to whom the decision has been entrusted, but we have faith in You, and we know that You are greater than any on earth. Lord, we seek Your mercy in this matter; do not grant that the wicked will succeed in depriving Afghanistan of the freedom it has been given, in using this nation for evil ends.

Father, we pray for the relief of Your persecuted children. May they find strength and comfort in You.

Lord, we remember Your acts of old, the mercies and judgments You sent in perfect wisdom. You are the God who delivered His people from their slave-masters with power and with wonders, the God who walked on this earth and was filled with compassion for the helpless crowds. Age after age You reveal Your goodness, and every age You are the same. You are our comfort and our hope, and we give You praise in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops. Guide them in
the performance of their duties. Strengthen
them to endure hardship, danger and depri-
vation in Your service. Let their efforts free
the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the
chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting
peace in the region, and bring all to a greater
share in Your Mercy.
Amen.

Amen, and amen! Keep a hedge of protection around all of our military not just in Afghanistan, but around the world! And pray for their families to be comforted and stay strong!

Dear Father, Be with all Our American Heroes, Put Your Own personal hedge of protection around them. Please be their Champion, their Guiding Light, Their Comforter, Their Shield, and Their Rock. Keep them from the evil schemes of the enemy and protect them from all harm, and give them the victory, in Jesus Name.
Amen.

Dear Father
In these times that seem so crazy, so upside down, when men call good evil, and evil good, we cry out to You, and You alone. Lord, You once were willing to save Sodom and Gommorrah for the sake of a few dozen decent people, I implore you not to turn Your back on America, even though there is so much evil here. Forgive us our sins, convict us of our wrongdoing, change our direction so that we are once again going towards You, give us righteous leadership, restore our unity and faith, in Jesus Name. Be with our Troops, give them Strengh and Encouragement and everything they need for the Victory over the enemy. We also ask for an awareness to enlighten the people that they will support our troops with a new fervor. In Jesus Name.
Amen
