deployed troops
*Pray they would have the
peace of Christ with them-
especially if they travel
outside of their
Forward Operating
Base (FOB).
*Pray that they will depend on
the love of God to keep from
bitterness at others (who
needlessly make life difficult
on their subordinates espe-
cially when they arent the
most competent leader).
*Pray for their spiritual and
emotional resiliency so that
regardless of what they face,
they will be able to be
effective in their military role
and responsibility.
*Pray for protection. As the
mountains surround Jerusa-
lem, so the Lord surrounds
his people both now
and forevermore
(Psalm I25:2).
*Pray that they will be vigilant
if they are called upon to fire
upon the enemy. Praise be
to the Lord my Rock, who
trains my hands for war, my
fingers for battle
(Psalm 144:1).
*Pray that the enemy will be
turned back. May all who
seek to take my life be put to
shame and confusion: may all
who desire my ruin be turned
back in disgrace
(Psalm 40:14).
