This past year has seemed to highlight everyone's differences. Despite all of these differences, those of us who live in the United States all have at least one thing in common: a select group of men and women have died earning and protecting the freedom that allows each one of us to discuss our differences, live with our differences, and unite to protect our differences. Take a few moments today to remember those who have served our great country.
I saw an article written by a 30 year Air Force Chaplain about how to pray for our military and their families and wanted to share the highlights. We often want to help those who serve our nation but don't know when or how. Prayer will have one of the biggest impacts and you can do it anytime, anywhere. Here are three specific ways the chaplain suggests to pray for our troops:
1) Pray for their personal and professional success, specifically that God will protect them, bless their families, help them face the challenges of their duty, give them favor in battle, and help them have victory. Success to an office worker usually means promotion or a raise. Success for a soldier often means life or death.
2) Pray for the spiritual maturity of our military members. Strong faith in God and trust in Him to endure the challenges they face is paramount on the battlefield and back home.
3) Pray the Bible as a warrior with authority - meaning use Scripture itself to meet God in prayer and to battle for your loved ones and your military.
