Lord, how sweet my thoughts are this morning as I sit with you in prayer for the soldier on my heart.
Lord, my friend has faithfully served our country for as long as I have known him. He has traveled the world over, protecting and fighting as he was directed. He has moved locations upon our American soil, starting over in community and church time and again.
Still he smiles; faithfully, he serves.
Father, this morning my heart seeks your face in prayer for him. Lord, you know the direction in which you desire my prayer to go. I pray you will gather my words and heap them over him.
~ Fill him with certainty, this morning.
~ Grant him clarity.
~ Settle peace and surety within him.
~ Direct his steps with a confident excitement.
Father God, you know the season he is ready to embrace. Father, I smile for him. Bless in perfect abundance the fruit of his faithfulness. Lord, you know how faithful he has been to our Country and to You! Oh, bless him with joy and ease and laughter.
And Father, I pray for the soldiers on the hearts of my prayer sisters. Protect each of them, we pray. Guard their hearts. Purify their minds. Set their eyes on You. Speak truth of validation and purpose within them. Cause their laughter to ring true. And bless their labor of love they have poured out for our Nation.
Thank you, Father, for our American soldiers. How blessed we are to have them, to be protected by them, to know them, to love them, to honor them, and to pray for them.
Lord, we pray for them!
In the name of Jesus, we pray.
Amen.
