Father,
We thank You for Your word and its timelessness Truly there is nothing new under the sun in regards to those who oppose You and those who follow You.
Thank You that You are our protector and provider. Thank You that You will fight our battles for us and You will defend and protect us. Please open our eyes to see that reality in our lives.
Since You have commanded us to pray for our enemies, we do ask for the salvation of those who oppose us. Please convict them of their sin, remove from their hearts and minds the blindness which the enemy has blinded them with. Show them their need for salvation and give them hearts to turn to You. Then they will no longer be our enemies.
We ask for this world situation, particularly in the Middle East. Lord, please fight for Your people, both the Jewish nation in Israel, and all believers throughout that area who are experiencing persecution for placing their faith in You. Keep them safe and fight for them. Thwart the plans of those who would harm them and as David prayed, bring their plans back on their own heads, if they will not turn to You.
Please fight on our behalf for this great country. Give our leaders wisdom, discernment, and fortitude to do what You want, what is good and right and just. Protect our troops who are out there defending us. Bring them all home safely and unharmed.
And as we see You moving, let us not be negligent to give You the praise and glory.
In Jesus' Name
Amen
Prayers and Amen.
Psalm 91
1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
Thank you, joining in prayer.
