Let’s join Liz today in her August Prayer.

============================

August Prayer

August is a special month because my husband is coming home after an eighteen month deployment. I heard on NBC news that ten thousand troops are coming home from Iraq this month. I realized there will be many homecomings this month. There will be many happy wives and excited children. There will be many blessings across our military family.

It’s times like this when I want to thank the Lord for watching over our military family. The Lord Jesus Christ provides us all so much strength to overcome adversity. I believe that he does have a special plan for military members, spouses, and children. We all serve together.

I wanted to include a short prayer to all of those military families that are currently deployed this month:

Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for all the military families who have members deployed this month. We pray you give them strength to complete their mission. Your grace will lead them to a place that is safe. Your love will help them overcome the obstacles. We pray for the military members who are coming home this month.  We pray that they have a safe trip home. Please watch over the military families that are awaiting their spouses’ return. Lord, in times like this we turn to you to hold us in your arms. Your light is a beacon for us to follow. Thank you for walking with us during deployment and helping us cope with the separation. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
