Lord,
for the sailors in the depths of the seas
and on the oceans of endless blue
for the marines in the jungles
and the soldiers in the mountains
or the desert winds
for the warriors in the skies
and reading the skies
and for all those in the training fields
and hunching over computers and nuts and bolts and bandages and policies
for these, Lord, we pray

We pray for their safety
We pray for engines running as they should at critical times
and supply lines being open.
We pray for good kevlar and good eyesight and good intuition.
We ask You Lord to stop malfunctions that lead to disasters.
We ask for clarity of thinking to stop accidents.
We ask that You would thwart the plans of the enemy.

Lord, please give our warriors wisdom
skill
courage
But mostly, Lord, please draw them to You.
May they see Your power and feel Your presence
May their darkest days be a breakthrough of Your light
Raise up an army for Your Kingdom
May those who are suicidal be so overwhelmed with Your love
May they be unable to run from Your presence

For You, Lord, You are the God of the Heavenly Armies
You stop man's plans and move nations according to Your will
You are the Master of Myriads, and You hold each and every heart
You understand the mysteries of the mind and only You can truly heal
You can bring peace when the nations demand war
You are our only hope
And we are completely overcome by Your love for us

In all our little battles today, Lord Jesus, please draw us to You. Thank You for being for us.
