Prayer for soldiers

Heavenly Father,

We come to You and we stand in agreement with our soldiers and we ask You for Your continued protection of Your Mighty Hand.

Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.

We ask You Lord to watch over each one and their families, our troops, our military leaders, our heads of state and administration.

Father, we praise You for Your hand of protection over the soldiers of this great nation.

Lord, they have answered Your call to protect and defend their fellow countrymen, so we ask that You place a hedge of protection around them.

Bless soldiers and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Please place a hedge of protection around each and everyone.

Be the shield that guides their steps during the day and the fire that lights their path at night.

Lord, we trust that while weapons may form, those will not prosper.

We thank You in advance for Your protecting power. From the top of their heads to the soles of their feet as well as their heart and mind, we praise You for Your divine covering.

We pray that You give them Your wisdom, guidance, strength and peace.

We surrender to You our country and other countries of the world.

Watch over and protect civilians and may they be upheld in Your peace and love.

We ask these things in Your Son Jesus’ name.

Amen.
