"Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few!" --I Samuel 14:6

Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God
Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is Healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God

And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?

Thank You Lord for victory!
First, for victory on the cross. Victory over sin. Victory over death.
But also for victories through the ages. Victories that people prayed for. Victories that changed the world. Victories that created America, that freed the slaves, saved the Jews, opened doors for the gospel, kept us free.  
Thank You for timely storms, and timely good weather. Thank You for strategies and courage. For weapons and strength. For men and women willing to sacrifice all.

We pray for those who have taken that step forward. Lord, please hold the families of the fallen in Your arms--the mothers and fathers who did their best to raise a decent child, the spouses whose hearts are broken, the children who will never have that place in their heart filled again.

We pray for our wounded--both in body and in spirit. Lord help them in their daily battles. We have doctors and therapists and psychologists and drugs, because of Your grace. But only You can truly heal.

We pray for our active duty warriors. Lord, keep them safe. Help us to encourage them. May their tough days lead to You. 

We pray for the military families. Teach us through these experiences Lord. Help us to rely on You.

We pray for our leaders. Give them wisdom in the decisions. We pray for the commanders. We pray for the Chief of Chaplain's office and those working there.

And Lord, we ask You for victory against ISIS. Please protect the innocent. Please glorify Your Name amongst the wicked. 

For You are greater. You are stronger. You are higher than any other. Nothing can stand against You, and we want to be on Your side.
Amen!
