Prayer for Military

Psalms 68:30

Like it or not there are people who will try to take peace away.  These people are never satisfied and their nature can be violent and indeed they try to make war.

When our military is engaged against them in battle, how should we pray?  In the book of Psalms King David gives many examples.  In Psalms 68:30 we find a prayer that is prayed that we can use.

It says: “Scatter Thou the people that delight in war where the enemy is completely removed, war will cease.”

Father, we bring this request to You, in Jesus Name, that You scatter the people that delight in war, those that come against our troops. Amen.

Reflection and Questions

Many in this country have not been involved in the military, and do not fully understand what it takes to win a battle.    The Lord says in Proverbs 21:31 that “The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.”  It is the Lord who gives victory. 

Knowing this, what might be one of the best ways that we can pray for our troops in battle?  To ask the Lord’s help to scatter the enemy.
