The United States Navy is drawing up plans to send multiple surface vessels through the Arctic Ocean this summer, signaling a potential change in U.S. policy to more effectively counter and possibly contain Russia’s influence in the region.

PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE PRAYER GUIDE

In a number of statements as recently as last week U.S. military leaders discussed a change of the country’s policy and approach towards the Arctic region. In front of the Senate Armed Services Committee General Curtis Scaparrotti, commander of the US European Command, explained that the effect of climate change is altering the Navy’s calculations.

“Now the Northern Sea Route is open more often, and there is a resource and commercial interest in it. […] This creates competition.” Scaparrotti went on to explain that U.S. forces have updated their plans, including deployment of military forces and operational trends in order to provide containment. “We send a signal that the Arctic is important to us,” he added.

Father God, we give you all praise and honor. For there is no other God like you.
Jehova Nissi, we pray that you will provide our navy with men and women of God that will be effective leaders and prayer warriors. We pray that you will give our naval men and women the wisdom and knowledge to know that the real battle must be fought in the spiritual realm first. And that we must first rely on God before we rely on our weapons and manpower. Father, we pray for a peaceful transition into the Artic Region. But, with the attitude that we will stand our ground and not back down on any provocative challenge. Father God, we pray that you will equip our Artic forces with the best weapons available. And above all things, we pray that you will dispatch your angels to open the doors for our advancement. Thank you Lord, for you are a mighty God!
