Heavenly Father, we beg Your mercy and protection for the British and Australian and Polish forces that share the perils of the next days and nights with our service members.
Heavenly Father, God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, please bless and have mercy on all the sons and daughters of Abraham residing in the Middle East. Especially we remember the people of Israel, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, U.A.E., Qatar, and Turkey. We pray especially for your blessing and protection for the innocent people of Iraq. And forgive us our sins as we forgive Syria and Lebanon and Iran.
Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodnesss and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
... add wives, husbands and children.
Heavenly Father, protect our troops, help them to do Thy will and secure freedom and peace for generations to come, and to return home safely.
