Prayer for Military Soldiers

 

All mighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech thee, of thy great goodness. Graciously harken to us as soldiers who call upon thee. We are armed with thy power, that we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression of wickedness of our enemies, and establish thy justice among men and nations. Our troops have been sent out as peacekeepers. We petition you, Lord, according to Psalms 91, for the safety of our military personnel.

This is no afternoon athletic contest that our armed forces will walk away from, and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a
life-or-death fight to the finish against Satan and all his fallen angels. We look beyond human instruments of conflict, and address the forces, authorities, rulers of darkness, and powers in the spiritual world. As children of the most high God, we enforce the triumphant victory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Lord stripped principalities and powers, making a show of them openly. Thank you, Jesus, for defeating the evil one, and his forces of darkness for us. Thank you, Jesus, for giving us authority to proclaim your name that is above every name. All power and authority both in heaven and earth belong to you. Righteousness and truth shall prevail, and nations shall come to the light of the gospel.

We petition heaven to turn our troops into a real peacekeeping force by pouring out the glory of God through our men and women in that part of the world. Use them as instruments of righteousness to defeat the plans of the devil.

Lord, we plead the power of the blood of Jesus, asking You to manifest Your power and glory. We entreat You on behalf of both sides of this conflict, and the citizens in these countries, . They have experienced pain and heartache. They are victims of the devil’s strategies to steal, kill, and destroy. We pray that they will come to know Jesus, who came to give us life, and life more abundantly.

We stand in the gap for the people of the war-torn, devil-overrun land. We expect an overflowing of Your goodness and glory in the lives of those for whom we are praying. May they call upon Your name and be saved.

You, Lord, make known Your salvation, righteousness, and You openly show in the sight of the nations.

Father, provide for and protect the families of our armed forces. Preserve marriages. Lord, cause the hearts of the parents to turn toward their children and the hearts of the children to turn toward the fathers and mothers. We plead the blood of Jesus over our troops, and their families. Provide a support system to undergird, uplift, and edify those who have been left to raise children by themselves. Jesus has been made unto these parents' wisdom, righteousness, and sanctification. Through Your Holy Spirit, comfort the needs of the lonely, and strengthen the weary.

Father, we are looking forward to that day when the whole earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. In Jesus name. Amen.

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

They are God's servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong." ~ Kenneth Copeland    Ministries
