That the God of all the universe would call me His daughter--
The Commander of the Heavenly Armies would use me as His warrior
The only One who is holy, beautiful, perfect would deem me sufficient
Lord, what an amazing place You have put me in
What an amazing God You are, that You could use me
And so, Father God, we accept our mission
we gather the weapons You have provided
we go to the battle
not in rags,
nor in fear
or weakness
but boldly forth
for You are our shield
You are our fortress
You are our strength
You are our provider
We pray for our tasks today.
May our priorities be right, may we be "well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord's people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds." --I Timothy 5:9
May we be content in the mission field You have assigned us. And we ask for Your help in establishing our homes wherever You tell the military to send us. May we make a difference on our street, in our chapels, on our installations.
Help us to create a life that is open to Your service.
When we are afraid, remind us You are the star-breather
When we are drowning in worry, remind us You calm the storms.
When we feel fragile, vulnerable, remind us You are the eternal fortress.
For those with deployed loved ones, we pray for courage. May they not just survive today, but truly grow closer to You.
For those in the throes of PCS, we pray for joy in watching You work through each issue.
For those trying to care for their elderly loved ones, we pray for wisdom, patience, compassion.
For those women serving our country, we pray for excellence in their work, peace in their heart.
For those whose marriages have gone terribly wrong, we pray for confidence in You, hope in the future, repentance that restores.
For those serving in so many areas, we pray the work will be fun, the burden easy and light.
For those wanting children or with children, please give them clarity and purpose in their mission.
We pray for our hurting veterans and the women who care for them. Lord, please stop the demon of suicide.
We pray for our deployed. Lord, may the warriors that bear Your Name not be ashamed. Please protect them and bring them home for good.
Send us out Lord! Amen!
