Prayer Points for our Troops

Lord, we agree in prayer that you will give our military men and women...

• Strength to fight and achieve success over those who are against them and our country's interests
• Divine protection from injury or death as they serve in the Middle East and elsewhere
• Clarity of mind to deal with what they see and experience in the war zone
• Peace in their homes as their families cope with their absence and the dangers they face

A mother's prayer...for her Marine

O Lord please help me grasp this thought
For You are perfect and I am not,
That I may tell my son who is afar
His heart you made they wish to mar,
May truth arise within his mind,
Replace the words that are unkind,
And remember who he is in you,
Wonderfully, fearfully you made him through,
Your hands of love what's done is done,
The person he is and the person he is to become,
Close his ears to lies he's told,
Within his heart, the truth unfold,
So he may stand proud when he reaches this goal,
A true Marine he'll be, both heart and soul!
