Let’s pray with verses from Isaiah for our warriors today. Please insert the name of a certain person, or group, into the blanks:

Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

The Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary,

and His understanding no one can fathom (Isaiah 40:28).

The source of all energy

and all understanding,

to You, Lord, we turn.

We pray for our warriors today.

May ______________ hear a voice behind him saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whether he turns to the right or to the left. (30:21)

May ______________ find salvation in rest and repentance; may he find strength in quietness and trust. (30:15)

Please give strength to ________ when he is weary; increase his power when he is weak. (40:29)

May __________ find his hope in You. Please renew _____________’s strength. May he soar on wings like eagles; may he run and not grow weary; may he walk and not be faint. (40:31)

When our warriors have stumbled, may they return to You. Please forgive them of their sins and draw them to You.

May ___________ go out in joy

and be led forth in peace;

Lord, it is You who stretches out the heavens like a canopy

You who holds the dust of the earth in a basket

You who brings out the starry host

You are enthroned above the earth;

we come to You with all gratitude and hope.

Thank You!

Amen.
