Walking
in God's Armor
Lord
we bring before You -
though
we may not know each name -
The
men and women called to serve.
Lord,
they seek no reward or fame.
Lord,
grant them wisdom to know Your Word,
and
to hide in Your Secret Place.
Keep
them in the shelter of Your arms;
help
them seek Your Holy face.
Though
the world may come against them,
let
the arrow that flies by day
be
trampled under feet shod with peace
as
they walk in Your steadfast way.
When
they see destruction at noonday,
Lord,
give them courage to stand
Holding
the shield of faith You give
to
protect our beautiful land.
Terror
may come in the nighttime -
thousands
may fall at their side,
But,
Lord we pray You'll protect them -
that
in Your grace they'll abide.
Help
them wield the sword of Your Spirit
to
fight for the freedom You give
Whether
on the shores of our enemies,
or
in the land where we live.
We
know You have heard our prayers,
Dear
Lord,
as
our soldiers take the helmet of salvation.
Guide
them in Your righteousness
as
they stand proudly defending our nation.

Psalm
91
"He
that dwelleth in the Secret Place
of
the Most High shall abide under
the
shadow of the Almighty.
I
will say of the Lord, He is my
refuge
and my fortress; my God;
in
Him I will trust...
For
He shall give His angels charge
over
thee to keep thee in all thy ways.
~Please
Pray for our Troops
and
our Allied Countries~
