I Prayed have prayed
"If Your people go out to battle against their enemies … then hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause."
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Jehovah Sabbaoth, we thank You, as the LORD of Hosts, for protecting us and our God-given purposes in sharing the Gospel. We praise You, singing: Holy, holy, holy is Your name! We worship and adore You, for You are worthy of our praise.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

 

Today we come asking You to protect our first-responders, military veterans, enlisted military members, and all of those whom You have uniquely prepared for air, land, and sea battles in this nation. Though the Enemy has his plans of evil, we know that You are faithful to deliver these warriors, their families, and all your people. As in the day when the wicked King Sennacherib of Assyria made plans to annihilate Judah and Jerusalem, the day Judah’s King Hezekiah cried out to You for help, the day You heard those supplications and rescued Judah from the invasion of the enemy, even so we cry out to You this day: Protect us, LORD! Watch over America’s first-responders, over the members of our military, and over their families — O LORD, save us!

If calamities or crises should come, if enemy armies should attack our land, we decree that our God will give us strength and help; our God will afflict the kings of the wicked with doubt, causing them and their armies to become frightened for their own lives and to retreat in haste to their own countries. We declare divine and supernatural protection over every first-responder, every enlisted military person, and every veteran from any planned attacks. Surround America’s fighters with Your heavenly hosts in the days, months, and years ahead. Make Your name great in all the earth, so that the wicked will flee, being forced to acknowledge that You alone determine our days, the future of this nation, and the hopes of Your people.

We lift these things to You in the authority of that great name that is above every other name — Jesus the Christ! Amen.

I pray to the God of heaven for all men and women who are called to protect our country and our people and children in dire need, in their places of work, school, shopping, daily routines, etc. I ask your Devine protection for them, first responders, police, army, navy, Air Force, marines, coast guard, security guards, safety patrol guards, firefighters, secret service members, and ministry workers. All people who are working to protect us in this country, I ask protection upon them and their families at all times coming and going. Protect them with your power, presence, love and mercy. In Jesus’ name 💙

Almighty God, All Powerful God, Sovereign LORD, Creator of heaven and earth …an all that is within them praise Your Holy Name. You are where our help comes from…our help comes from You, Lord the Maker of heaven and earth. We thank You, Lord that even amidst the chaos…You are working. We thank and praise You that yet another as changed party in NC and we know it is by the prayers of Your people. Bless this person greatly for their stance to obey you and do what is right. Reveal Yourself to them in a great way and use them for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name make us a United Nation once again and an even better nation than before…a nation whose eyes are fixed on You, LORD God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ Name we ask Your Powerful hand upon our military, active, retired, and Veteran and for our police force and first responders as the respond to our breaks of violence around our nation and the world. We ask Your protection over them and Your strengthening of them, and for salvation of souls among them that are lost. “For it’s not Your will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” In Jesus’ Name I pray for salvations in the White House, the Senate, House of Representatives, the Pentagon, the Military, the Super Court and in every State House in our country…and also in the CCP …in Jesus’ Name May a radical move of You Lord God, begin to spread amongst them that can only be explained by You. Give Your Son Jesus authority to go and save them!! For Jesus, You, Yourself instruct us “to pray for our enemies!” Help us be people of love…not hate…that is what makes us different from the rest …our love for each other. In Jesus’ Name let not our hearts be troubled nor hardened …but free and loving…in Christ Jesus…Who is LORD of all. In Jesus’ Name let the CCP and the world see that our hope, our strength, our wisdom, our protection, our overcoming, our salvation, our deliverance, our healing, all come from You, alone Gracious and Merciful God, Who’s mercy triumphs judgment!! In Jesus’ Name let Your mercy fall upon us…as we fall on You, with hearts longing to do Your will. Great is Your faithfulness Lord unto us!! In Jesus’ Name I pray believing to see Your goodness in the land of the living. Amen.

Thank you for this. As a wife of a retired officer and now working for an organization that helps these populations get the mental health services they need, we covet prayers always. We have far too many care packages going out to departments where there has been a line of duty death or suicide.
Never forget the warriors.

Amen! Mavourene.
I was blessed by you being in our Zoom break out group last night. Afterward, I spent some hours seeking the Lord about prayer for good government and received revelation initiated by the words of wisdom you shared so that I am now in wholehearted agree-ment with Dr. Prince’s teaching.
I too am a lifelong learner about the intersections of faith with international relations and domestic policy. During active-duty military service I visited four other continents and later took a master-level degree in public administration before snagging a Fulbright. I would like to learn from your experiences. Please contact me at [email protected].

I could not have formulated a better prayer and prayed it alongside of you and probably others too.

Lord God above, hear the prayers of Your people and answer from Your holy hill. Place a hedge of protection around all first responders and let Your angel armies go before them to make a sure and safe path. Bless You and praise You for Your mighty works and love towards Your creation.
