Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let the soldier in the field praise the Lord
Let the sailor on the seas praise the Lord
Let the airmen in the skies praise the Lord
Let the veteran in the new job, the new project, the new doctor's office, praise the Lord
Let us praise You for moving in the hearts of powerful men
for controlling the world's events
and numbering our days
Let us praise You for giving strength to the warrior
courage to fight for love
knowledge to win
We praise You for planes that bring home soldiers safely
for mortars that miss
for missions accomplished
for new peace in the land
We praise You for the many willing to sacrifice their lives
for the families willing to support
And we pray for them
Lord, hold close those who have lost loved ones
Please help those who are injured find their way to You
May their families find strength to endure
Please give wisdom to the leaders, from the generals to the sergeants
May iron sharpen iron; may the conflicts between each other make things better
And be the grace between them when they need to work together
Please break the pride that destroys
We pray for courage for the new recruits
May they learn to trust in You
We pray for the veterans
May they find their worth in being Your child
May their minds be fixed on You, so they can be at rest
Please bring healing to body and soul
And we pray for the families of the fallen
be the husband to the widow
the wife to the widower
the father to the fatherless
the mother to those left behind
Please heal the hearts of the parents
Encourage the hearts of the children
Carry them gently in Your arms
You were willing to give Your life
May we be willing to give ours
Amen.

From the mountains of Italy to the swamps of Louisiana
From the plains of Kansas to the beaches of Okinawa
You are where we want to be, and where we don't want to be
When we step onto the stage, and when we sit in the corner of an empty house
When we've got it all together and when we can't keep one thing straight
You are steady
We thank You for going before us and coming behind us
We thank You for the special grace You give military wives
And we ask for Your continued blessings.
You are the One who is able to keep us safe in our moves.
You are the One who can heal our hearts and hold us close when saying good-bye to friends.
You are the One who can orchestrate new opportunities, new friendships, new adventures we could never dream of.
You are the One who can mold us in the 'waiting room', who can shape us during what seems like 'wasted' time.
You are the One who can give us resolve to pour out our sacrifice.
And You are the One who will reward us in the end.
You are the One who truly loves us.
Thank You Lord and may we be aware of Your presence today.
We pray for the mom who is waiting to adopt. May there be peace in the waiting.
We pray for the moms of the little ones. May they get rest and find strength in Your joy.
We pray for the wife who is trying to care for her ailing parents. Give her wisdom.
We pray for the moms and the teachers completing their school year. May they impart a joy of learning.
We pray for the wives in leadership. Please give them insight into team building.
We pray for the woman who is embarking on a new dream. Give her direction in her efforts for Your glory.
We pray for the wives of the deployed. Lord please give them more of Your grace in their homes today. May the whole family grow closer to You.
We pray for the FRGs, the VBSs, the PWOCs, the coffee groups...all these things that we invest in. Lord, may those around us see You.
We pray for our hurting warriors. Lord, surround them with Your witnesses. Thwart any effort to hurt themselves. Give us wisdom in how to stop the suicides.
We pray for the safety of our deployed. May the hard times bring growth in You.
We pray for wisdom for our leaders in this troubled world.
And we are so grateful that no matter what, or where, You are ever over us.
I will lift my eyes
to the hills and their Creator
who made all heaven and earth
for He watches me
never sleeps no never slumbers
He's ever over me.
As I come and I go
I am safe for I know
that His grace is sufficient for me
Winter warmth and light
and a shady place in summer,
He's ever over me. --Bob Stromberg
