Heavenly Father, thank you that you defend your people with your mighty hand.
Please hear my prayer as I lift up our military and veterans before you now.
They work tirelessly to defend our country. Bless and protect them Lord and use their work for the good of our nation and your glory.

May they know your presence with them at this time. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with them always. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
