A Soldier’s Prayer

Lord Jesus, Mighty Warrior and Prince of
Peace, all glory and power is yours. I offer
myself and my military career for the welfare
of our nation and for your glory.

You said "Blessed is the nation whose God
is the Lord"; make us mindful of our nation's
heritage and of who we are. You said "Be
strong and of good courage", this is my
prayer. You said "A king is not saved by his
great army; a warrior is not delivered by his
great strength"; be my protection and my
strength. While I defend the nation, may all
of Heaven safeguard my family back home.

Almighty God, when you will to safely
return me home, help me to see in each
member of my family all that I am willing to
fight for- life, liberty, freedom and justice.
Give me wisdom to share what experiences
would lead my sons to Christ-like valor, my
daughters to Christian compassion. When
Mary witnessed you falling wounded to the
ground, she reaffirmed her trust in God her
savior. Fill my spouse with surety in your
divine plan for me, our family and our nation.
You called me to be a soldier. March along
side me. Jesus, I place my trust in you.
Amen.


Combat Medic Prayer

Oh, Lord I ask for your divine strength to
meet the demands of my profession. Help me
to be the finest medic, both technically and
tactically. If I am called to the battlefield, give
me the courage to conserve our fighting
forces by providing medical care to all who
are in need. If I am called to a mission of
peace, give me the strength to lead by caring
for those who need my assistance. Finally,
Lord help me take care of my own spiritual,
physical, and emotional needs. Teach me to
trust in your presence and never-failing love.
AMEN
