Ways to Pray for our Military
When we think of our fellow Americans serving in the
military, and the sacrifices and demands that their job places upon
them and their families, we are in deep gratitude.
Whether they are serving in out homeland, or overseas, their
task is a great one.
We have been called upon to pray
for them during these desperate days.
In an effort to pray more consistently and effectively this
list has been compiled. There
is one prayer focus and related verse for 31 days.
Let us be faithful in prayer.
As long as “the war on terrorism” exists, let us be
faithful prayer warriors on behalf of our fellow citizens who have
committed themselves to defending our America.
