Preparing For Battle
Lord,
keep us ever vigilant as our armor is put in place
for
the battleground is ready and we need some extra
grace.
Let
Your blessings fall upon us as we sound the warrior's
cry,
while
comforting our loved ones who fear that we may
die.
Keep
Your hand upon our head when we have no time
to pray
for
the terror of the war may surround us any day.
Lord,
we ask Your choicest blessings on those we must
leave
behind;
mothers,
fathers, sons and daughters...Lord, protect
them
and be kind.
Hold
their hand when they are worried, let our messages
get
through,
for
Lord you know that each of us relies solely on You.
There
will be unfamiliar trials that they're not yet equipped
to face,
but
by prayer they too will be prepared by Your amazing
grace.
Give
us courage to face the enemy, help us persevere
until
the end, seeking freedom for the oppressed, while
our
country we defend.
If the
days of war are lengthened, Lord, give us added
strength
to stand and steadfastly proclaim Your truth over
in some
foreign land.
Draw
us ever closer to You as we bow our heads in prayer,
seeking
always to do Your will so we will not falter there.
Let
the peace that passeth understanding be etched
deeply
in each heart, assured that when You go before
us,
we will not fall apart.
And
if, perchance, we are wounded, or must lay down
our
life one day, still with thanksgiving on our lips, we'll
praise
You, Lord, all the way.
For
You are the joy of our salvation, our hope of life in
eternity,
as when we leave this earth behind, we'll dwell
with
You in victory.
But
until that day's upon us, bravely we will face anew
every
trial, every conflict, armed with Your power through
and
through!
Amen
