A Prayer for Active Military Service Members
Dearest Heavenly Father, we praise You, and call upon You in faith today. We pray for all military personnel serving in deployment at home and around the world. We lift up those in war-torn countries, which are far from their homes — those that put their lives unselfishly on the line each day so that we may feel safer. We humbly ask You to place Your Mighty arms around all of them, and their families. Guard them from all harm, and fill their hearts with firm determination, unflinching courage and peace that surpasses all understanding. We ask in Christ’s name, Amen.

“And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. “ (Philippians 4:7)
