Our Father, who takes the fight for us because “the battle is the Lord’s,” we humbly come to you for our military and our service members. When in harm’s way, keep them safe. When tired and alone, display Your presence. Undergird their selfless service, and their passion to serve. Give wisdom to their leadership to enforce and reinforce godly principles and values rather than the cultural perverse and immoral falsities being promoted today. Help us to realize that our “Nation under God” can win no conflicts without You as our guide and the ultimate warrior. Protect our warriors from fear, self-pity, worry, and doubt. Provide them with courage, strength, endurance, and astuteness as they serve You and our great nation. We pray this in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ who will ultimately defeat all of Heaven’s enemies in the “Day of our Lord.” Amen.

My husband is a disabled veteran (Army/SCARNG). He was a Supply SGT. and was called up for Desert Shield/Storm. I was 7 mos. pregnant at the time, and our first child was 6 years old. We were part of an active, vibrant church near an Air Force Base. One would think that would make a difference, but it did not. The arduous months of separation, anxiety from seeing reports on the news (which many turned out to be in error, was very exhausting. Trying to keep the home functioning while expecting was difficult. The sporadic communication which was often only minutes in length did not suffice. Even with a “support group” the loneliness and despair was overwhelming. Often the information given at the support meetings sent the wives home more afraid then when they arrived! And only ONE person in our church came to offer help and advice- out of a church of 250! She was a Vietnam Vet’s wife. My husband shared his emotional battles with me upon his return. He was assailed with all kinds of threats, fears for our relationship, safety, and great loneliness. I won’t ever forget how I would struggle at times to breathe normally- that was way before “panic attacks” were common. Not knowing the next move of a loved one and the harrowing responsibility of being a single mother temporarily or potentially permanently is weighty. The war continued past the birth of our second child. He lost his first 5 months of life with his dad. I am sure he adapted better than my husband did. It still pains him to this day. Separation, misinformation, fear, uncertainty, financial crises,and the lack of true empathy are what the family faces. Prayer is not all that is needed. Consistent emotional, social, spiritual, and even financial support should be provided by the Body of Christ. It would have saved me from month of shortened breath had I received it.

I pray Abba for all the spouses of or service people, and for their children. Father send wise, calm, and experienced people to assist them, and please give them the resources they need to walk through the times of deployment. Please also send similar people to them to encourage them in their faith walk and to strengthen their marriages. Please help the families find people who can be lifters of the children’s heads and hold their hands when needed; giving relief to the parents. Thank you Abba for meeting these needs of support for our military.

All branches of our military submit to the highest ranking officers, under the Commander in Chief, who is our President. Not only has the damaging Covid19 vaccine been mandatorily forced on all personnel on active duty, but woke instruction introduced in all military academies, and beyond. These unbiblical concepts (like CRT) are widely taught, rather than the basic principles of warfare, and traditional morality, cohesive command unity, through traditional American values. It is a TRAVESTY, which has greatly impaired our readiness. Pray these weaknesses be overcome soon, before we face military actions in a real battle.

OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY IS IN GOD”S HANDS. WE MUST THEREFORE PRAY TO HIM AND ASK FOR HIS HELP IN RIGHTING OUR MILITARY SO THAT IT IS CAPABLE OF DOING WHAT IT HAS PLEDGED TO DO; TO PROTECT US.

PLEASE HELP US LORD.

We All must pray for America and ask God to Help America and to save America .This
Administration is doing everything in their power to Destroy America and the American People !! We need to Pray to God to save Israel as well as we know this Administration also cares nothing about Israel either. there agenda is for their own benefit Only. I pray each day for God to continue his work to exploit the wickedness and evil agenda of this
evil administration !! when I was in the Military we took an Oath to protect America and the Constitution of the United States.. I pray the Military will wake up and stand up for America rights and say NO MORE to the wicked things this Administration is doing !!!!!

When I was in the Army (1966 to 1968) today’s crazy ideas did not exist. We had some racial issues leftover from the early 60’s. Morale issues revolved around that. I hate to think about the morale issues from the moral pronouncements forced on the troops now. It must be difficult for a Christian to live with these rules which contradict our beliefs. The hardest part of living in the service life, for me, was feeling I could not think for myself. I had to follow orders. That pressure must still be there, but now it is trying to force a soldier to go against religious beliefs. We need a change at the top soon to return to real moral principles.

I am a retired US Navy commander. I served in the Office of Naval Intelligence, and that makes my perspective a little unusual. I’d like to draw your prayerful attention to the issue of “moral injury.”
A moral injury can occur in response to acting or witnessing behaviors that go against an individual’s values and moral beliefs. Imagine being strongly committed to the sanctity of human life, yet participating or witnessing wholesale killing. Imagine being committed to fundamental integrity, but in a job where you must lie to keep official secrets, or manipulate people to extract useful information. Actions like that.
It doesn’t matter if the actions are “justified” by warfare – deep down, it feels wrong .. it injures.
It can be a distressing psychological, behavioral, social, and spiritual aftermath of such events. It can produce profound feelings of guilt or shame, moral disorientation, and even alienation from society. “The accuser” will take advantage of this internal state, and build on those guilty, shameful feelings – and that will often limit individuals in ways you cannot anticipate.
The only cure for moral injury is to fully embrace God’s forgiveness, and, THE HARDEST PART, is to forgive ourselves. Many are unable to do that, and they suffer with self-condemnation and feelings of worthlessness for the rest of their lives.
Henry Wodsworth Longfellow once said, “Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and oftentimes we call a man cold, when he is only sad.”
If he is a veteran or active duty military, that secret sorrow and sadness may be moral injury.

Keep CRT, woke in all its forms and barely tested vaccines out of the military.

I just asked my granddaughter who is 13 years old the question: what is most difficult for you as a child of a military family? She said, “Keeping our family communicating when we are separated for short and long periods of time”.
Pray that God would protect the children during parent’s deployment and keep them safe from the enemy’s manipulation and lies.

Father, thank you for those who are/were in the military. Bless them and help them to look to you. May they know you are with them.

Our son is a combat medic in special forces. The amount of confusion and poor leadership in the army has been troubling. The people in our military need a witness of the power of God that is able to come alongside and empower them with discernment and strength. The greatest need they have is for spiritual awakening and miraculous response to it.
Our son is a believer and has met very few fellow Christians in his time in service – but these are good people who have really not had a compelling witness. May God open hearts and eyes to the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

Served 21 years in the Navy – life on a ship was a challenge due to closed quarters and shared facilities by crewmen- now with transgender and other (?) made up (?) genders it’s shameful!
The leadership and influence of satin is terrible and under the leadership of POTUS has greatly eroded our military.
Pray for the Sailors and other branches of the military as they battle against this enemy.

Yes, i served just over 23yrs in the U.S. Coast Guard! I retired in 2010. It was a great experience & career! I wish i would have stayed a couple more years though! The “political correctness” was starting to get into our Military then! Since Obama was elected in 2008, it had accelerated! There is the STRESS of family separation! Deployment and training! Many days, months away from home! ALOT of sexual immortality! Adultery, ect.. men & women work closely together! Lack of Strong leadership & morals in top leadership! Overworked! Alcohol use & partying lifestyle especially among junior enlisted! FAR to FEW Chaplains to minister to the troops! LACKING in PATRIOTISM and Serving the Nation! Whats in it for me attitude! That was over 10 years ago, i imagine it worse now!

All of the males in my family have served in the military. My father served as a combat medic in Europe in WW2. My uncle served in the Special Forces and saw extensive combat in Vietnam. I have served my country traveling numerous countries and lived on remote locations, once with my family (wife and five children) for a period of five years. My brother served 2 tours in Iraq and saw combat and my son served as a combat medic in Afghanistan and experienced combat with the Taliban. All of us are believers with faith in Christ. Each of us have PTSD. I can only thank God for his compassion and love. I grew up with a father who feared hospitals, doctors, and had to leave the room at the sight of blood. He isolated himself and immersed himself in the Bible and worship music to the detriment of his family life. Fighting daily to forget, to forgive himself and erase the horrors of conflict. My uncle struggled with sleep nightmares and went through several marriages before finding someone tougher than himself who helped bring the peace of God into his life. My brother has struggled with isolating himself from the family, struggles with forgiveness of himself and fought against substance abuse that he used to erase the pain. He still struggles with anger management and has to guard against alcohol but he has come a long way with his faith and is improving. I have always had faith in God and a belief that no one could harm a hair on my head unless it fulfilled a greater destiny and purpose in Christ. He is my God and my salvation and it is in Him that I trust. I have seen death more than I care to admit. I have survived so many dangerous and potentially deadly encounters around the globe. Yet, in spite of my faith in God, I have struggled with isolation. I have spent untold hours alone in the mountains in tears and prayer with my Father. I struggle to find relationships with other men that are of substance and depth. I have struggled with PTSD. I was triggered into my first panic attack suddenly at a restaurant when a family behind the wall from my table started speaking Farsi. I thought I was having a heart attack and started shaking. I realized that I was in an uncontrollable panic and left the table and walked outside and stood in the rain out of embarrassment and fear that people would see me. My wife came out with our food in ToGo bags and we went to the car where I sobbed in her arms for an hour. Yet, I have tried to remain strong for my family and those with my sphere of responsibility. I don’t want to burden others with the pain I have felt inside. So I share some of my pain with no one but my wife and a counselor and always with God. My son has fared much better than the rest of us. I held him in my arms, told him that God was covering him and to go do his job as a minister of God. I barely made it back to the truck before bursting into tears and asking God to preserve my only son. My wife and family and church members interceded for him daily asking God to protect him from harm. His faith in God, certainty of mission and the righteous prayers of believers availed much! He survived a sniper attack merely inches from his head and a massive bombing and attacks by the Taliban while serving his Special Operations team as a combat medic. I speak of these things from the inside. Knowing first hand the dynamics at play for family members. I have tried so hard to protect my children from my job. I tried my best to shelter them from my pain and allow them to grow up untarnished by the evil in this world. It’s not easy and most of all, my hero is my wife, who has endured untold thousands of miles of travel, has worked so hard to care and raise our family, often in my absence and her capacity to love me and help me through the pain I have endured with compassion and unconditional love. I go to church and help minister to others when I am able. Yet, no one around me knows the stories I could tell, the death I have seen, the demonic strongholds I have walked through. There are others like me, who have struggled with the pain, found refuge in Christ and turned to the God of Psalms 91. I struggle to fit in their world. I want to share in the living of life without mental restraint. But my perspective about life and it’s fragility, the absolute power and authority of Gods word and the absolute dependence on the Holy Spirit to help you survive, just seems a bit surreal to the few that I have spoken to. I don’t want to be viewed with pity or praised for my service. I just want to be an equal part of your lives, where life seems normal without having to question motives or constantly look around you to assess any potential threats. Like so many others, I just want to be valued, understand and fit within a community of friends and believers. I am blessed to be a man of faith that runs to my Heavenly Father when the going gets tough. But so many others, veterans who served honorably, especially younger vets of today, are served up platitudes and woke solutions that have no substance and are based on evil ideologies. They commit suicide out of sheer loss of hope, a way out of the isolation and pain that they feel because they are not grounded in someone far greater than themselves that gives them hope. I have stood at that very threshold, glimpsing at a quick way out during a moment of anguish, torment and pain. But I could not do anything because I was unwilling to stand before the God who saved me from so many calamities and try to tell Him that He wasn’t good enough for my pain any longer and I had decided to take matters in my own hands. No. You just have to suck it up and grit your teeth and run to the Lord of all things, Jesus Christ. Even if you have to do it alone in the middle of the forest screaming at demons!

US Naval Academy grad. USMC 1980-1992. Platoon Commander, Company Commander. The military goes where their leadership points them. Effective prayer for junior officers and enlisted should focus on being faithful and doing their best every day and letting God worry about tomorrow. The higher ranks are highly ambitious and will follow the path to promotion. Lately, that means embracing “woke” policies. That won’t change until the politicians change and they won’t change until God changes them.

I’m a US Army Cold War Tanker Veteran, Hell on Wheels, Fort Hood Texas.
My job was Armor Crewman, 1 of 4 Crew in a M60A3 Tank.
I Loaded, Drove, Gunned, and even was a TC once.
This is Team Work, every person must work together if it is to work.
Likewise #TEAMCHRIST we must all work together as a Team.
Please Pray for comfort, redemption, understanding, and Help for the members, families and relatives to keep them safe and return them home sound.
In Jesus name Amen.

My son is in the Navy. The sexual perversion and assaults are rampant. Indoctrination classes are held regularly to force the sailors to align with the new diversity, equity and inclusion mantra. He tells me the quality and capability of those whom he instructs is incredibly low. From top to bottom the focus is more on remaking the sailors into the image of the new work world than it is on keeping our ships and personnel battle ready. Incompetence at all levels. There are still a few decent men and women in the ranks, but it’s very disheartening. Please pray for my son, A, that someone through his time in the military he would find the Lord again, and that Christians would have courage to speak up for Christ.

Currently serving in the Army since 2005. I am a senior enlisted member of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal. I have seen the destruction of many soldiers lives through our adversaries attacks on the mind, body and souls of our soldiers. I would request that these four specific areas be considered during interceding for our enlisted troops.
1. Pray against the break down of the military family. A soldier who is married and has a strong support system is less likely to become a casualty to suicide or other mental illness.
2. Pray against the spirits of Fear. The single most effective tool the enemy has against our troops is to drive uncertainty into their minds. Whether it be through the loss of a loved one, friend or poor leadership with our current global situation bringing the doubt of the future holding any promise for them or their children. A soldier is fighting for the future, so if that future looks grim, there is a huge wave of anxiety and fear that comes over them.
3. Pray against the spirit of death; suicide is the American Military’s greatest enemy and the spirit of death is effectively convincing war fighters that there is no HOPE. Ask our Father to bring HOPE bringers (Christian soldiers) into the ranks to speak hope and life back into our soldiers hearts.
4. Pray against the corrupt medical system. Our health care in the Military is unproductive at healing anyone. The best they do is cover up the suffering long enough for the soldier to either retire, forced to end service or surrender by suicide. The use of prescription drugs is out of control. We need healing of soul, mind and body in the Military. Ask the Father to bring us Christian medical physicians that use natural remedies and healing techniques to get our soldiers back on the battlefield.

Thanks and may God bless America!
