Hope you are feeling fresh and new today!
Father, we come before You this day to ask Your special protection for those America and her allies might have to send forth into harm's way, and those already serving in our military around the world.
Your Holy Bible is replete with kings and men You sent forth into battle for Your purposes, going in Your Name.
We understand today we wrestle mightily with principalities and powers of darkness, the evil one using man, striving to be greater than You, and ensnaring millions to do his bidding.
None are greater than You, Lord, and in the struggle for good to overcome evil, our sons and daughters are committed to ensuring others might be freed from them and all forms of oppression, whether that be in subjugation, hunger, imprisonment or worse, as individuals or groups of persons.
We confess we as a nation have gone far astray, Lord, but we pray for Your forgiveness and restoration to Your favor.
Strengthen and give courage to those who stand in the gap for us and their loved ones, and grant them peace.
Lord, we in this Room ask that the sons of our friend ladtx, the niece of Pippin, Trish, SK1 Thurman, and all those related to our friends who are on active duty at this time be under Your loving guidance.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers for those who go forth in the name of righteousness and freedom from evil, and not for gain.
Amen.
