A Soldier Praying

Heavenly Father, I come to You knowing that I am in a position where my life is in danger. I am stepping out into the unknown, and yet I thank You that You are with me in every situation I face and that my life is in Your hands. I trust You Lord, to stand with me in the days that lie ahead, knowing that no weapon has been formed against me that has the power to overcome me, that is not permitted by You, for Your greater purpose in my life.

Keep me from fear and strengthen me I pray in all the activities and duties that are before me today. Uphold me in all things with Your righteous right hand, so that I may step out boldly in the confident assurance that You have scheduled every day of my life and that You are with me every step of the way to overshadow and to protect.

Father, I take firm hold of You and trust my life into Your hands and ask that in Your grace, You would bring me through the difficulties that we are currently facing. Give me the courage to carry out my duty through the power of Christ, who alone strengthens me and is my sufficient strength for all my needs.

Keep me from all danger I pray, strengthen my heart and endow me with courage from on high. Help me in the midst of things to wait upon You and trust You in all things for all the decisions I have to make, and especially those that have to be made in the twinkling of an eye. Renew my strength like the eagles I pray, and help me to run the race that is set before me, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith, in Whose name I pray,

Amen.
