10 Days of Prayer for the Nation

Day 34 – The Military/ Law Enforcement

April 29, 2016

“When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the Lord your God and rescued from your enemies.” Numbers 10:9

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

Father, we come to you calling out for the protection of our men and women who are the frontline of  battle and for all those troops and families who prepare the way at home. These are our men and women who stand in our nation between us and chaos. Our nation is in confusion and the value of right and wrong is being questioned with a shift toward tolerance and intolerance. The men and women in Law Enforcement are there to protect ALL lives; black, white, red and yellow; men and women; old and young. All people are precious in Your sight. We pray for Godly wisdom and discernment to be on those who protect our people, to do what is right in Your sight and that their leadership would support this. We pray in Jesus’ name for Your hedge of protection over the men and women in Law enforcement, and for their families for protection in the line of duty, and protection from false accusation based on political correctness.

We pray for both our Law Enforcement and Military to unravel the schemes of the enemy as it pertains to domestic and foreign terrorism. Lord, we ask that you would sever the ties of corrupt companionship and bring terrorists to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, repenting for their sin and turning from their wicked ways. Provide these new believers a way of escape from the path of darkness and despair. We pray that every terrorist cell would destruct from within, and that they would have utterly failed leadership, failed communication and that every attempt of evil would be thwarted. Expose every scheme and give Law Enforcement insider information, total protection, and success at eradicating those who desire to hurt us.

Father, as our Law enforcement stand in the gap for our nation, our United States Military stands in the gap against those who come against this great nation from afar. They need Your wisdom and discernment to detect the schemes of the enemy before they arise. We pray in Jesus name for Your protection over these men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom. We pray that You will give them the insight needed and the boldness to go forth into the enemy’s camp. We pray for unity in the Military Leadership, Congress, and the White House: that when the enemy comes in like a flood, we would raise up a standard. Lord, let the United States continue to stand for Liberty for one and all, and when the enemy poured forth murder, and oppression, Our Nation–One Nation Under God–has stood in the gap to re-gain world peace. Lord, let it be so… unless You go into battle before us, we dare not go, for You, oh Lord, are mighty in battle, and You are righteous! In Jesus Name.
