Good morning Father,

I lift up to You every man and woman in the armed forces who are being prepared for battle in Iran right now. You alone know what lies ahead for each of them.

Lord, go before them and surround them. Make them keenly aware of their surroundings, sharpen their discernment, and be a mighty shield around them in every moment of danger. Protect their lives, steady their hands, and guard their hearts and minds with Your peace.

Father, I also pray for their loved ones at home. Comfort them in the waiting. Quiet their fears and remind them that You are near. Let them feel Your presence as they lift up prayers day and night, trusting that You are watching over those they love.

Hold them all in Your care, Lord—on the battlefield and at home.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
