Memorial Day – Prayer for a Soldier
Our son-in-law is serving our nation during dangerous times in the Middle East, along with numerous men and women. A friend wrote and sent us this as a prayer for our favorite soldier, John. Today is a good day to pray this prayer for all of our soldiers and particularly for the soldier on your heart.
A Prayer for John
Heavenly Father, I pray that you will be his Rock, his Shield and his Protector.
I pray that you will protect him from any dangers of war, any accidents, any illness or disease. Keep him physically safe from any harm.
I know you know where he is every moment. You know when he rises and when he lies down. Please surround him with your hedge of protection so that nothing can touch him unless you allow it.
Heavenly Father, I also ask that you protect him mentally and emotionally. Do not let him be shaken by his experiences or things he sees and hears. May your perfect love cast out fear. Make him strong and steady.
Heavenly Father, just as we have to reach out and receive the salvation you have provided for us, may John reach out and take the peace you have made available to us. May he feel your peace no matter his circumstances.
Make John spiritually strong. Increase his faith. May he feel your presence in his life day and night. May he trust you. May he find strength in your Word and through prayer. Give him Christian friends and fellowship and may they be a support to each other.
May all those who know and love John be faithful to pray for him and communicate with him. May you also give them a strong faith and your peace. May they give him to you for safe-keeping.
I ask that you bring him home safely to his family. I pray that you will bring about the great plans you have for his life.
I ask that you grant these things according to your will and I ask them in Jesus’ name.
Amen
From The Xperiment to Christ Fellowship
Some of you are wondering – why didn’t I know about this church?
To catch you up, Christ Fellowship of Memphis is in the pre-launch phase as a church plant. We began as The Xperiment and have found that Christ Fellowship of Memphis is a more useful name for our body. Take a look at the other pages to learn more about our ethos – we’ll be updating you on the next steps in the launch of Christ Fellowship.
