Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that You have issued a call to prayer for the safety and protection of our Defenders of Freedom and that this coming week might be especially brutal, if the enemy's plans prevail. We come before You, Merciful God, with petition that You would thwart each and every plan of destruction. Let no harm come near those who serve ... give them wisdom and discernment that they might prevent the shedding of innocent blood.
Father, I pray that You would cause the hearts of our troops and the coalition forces and the Iraqi people to unite as one with a desire to prevent death and destruction. Grant them good success, O God, for their mission is liberation and freedom and the ability of citizens to live peaceably in the land. Thank You, Creator God, for those who stand watch. May the Spirit of God cause us to stand watch over them before the Throne of Grace, in praise and petition, and in the Name of Jesus, Amen ...
Amen, Pegita.
Thank you so much for leading us in prayer in your post 393.
