Ask our Heavenly Father to comfort those who have lost loved ones fighting for our freedoms. Give them peace and a real sense that their loss was for a noble cause worth the heavy price being paid.
Ask God to prompt us to acknowledge regularly the sacrifices being made for us as a people and to thank those we know who are regularly separated from family members defending our country against radical Islam.
Pray for victory and success for our troops as they partner with Iraqi security forces to defeat the efforts of Muqtada al-Sadr in Basra, in southern Iraq. Conflict has flared in that area recently and signals a startling rise in al-Sadr’s activity. Pray for an end to all terrorist efforts in the nations of Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world. Pray also for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who has been in Basra supervising the crackdown on militia factions.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
—The Bible, II Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
