Father God,

We come with all kinds of things heavy on our hearts to pray for--things to cry out to You about.

Sometimes we forget how much You've already done.

Thank You Lord for life-giving blood. We are born in it, we are healed by it, we live and die by it.

And we are saved by it--by the sacrifice You gave.

Thank You Lord Jesus.

Forgive us for forgetting.

So, whether we are kept safe or not,

whether we are healed or not,

whether we have money in the bank or not,

whether our children succeed or not,

we thank You that we are already saved. We are forgiven. We are in Your arms.

We pray for those who have nothing in this world to hold to--our brothers and sisters in Iraq and around the world

who are being persecuted. We ask for an outpouring of Your Spirit on their lives that we cannot imagine.

We ask for Your protection.

We pray for our friends who need healing.

Physical healing: _______________

Emotional healing: _________________ and our veterans

Spiritual healing:___________________

We pray for Your leading throughout our ranks.

Including our Chief of Chaplains office.

May our Christian soldiers have vision to do amazing things for You.

And thank You for loving us and understanding the little issues that rock our boats:

we pray for PCS changes

for houses found, houses rented, houses sold.

Here in You is where our hope is found,

but we need to hand over our life.

Help us to do that Lord.

Right now, today, in all the daily daily-ness.

We give it to You.

Amen!
