PRAYER FOR SOLDIERS <\/p>\n

Lord, protect your frontline soldiers,
\nWho daily face the enemy’s great ire,
\nGuard them safe from the terrible heat,
\nAll snares and Satan’s darts of fire.<\/p>\n

Keep your servants safe from any harm,
\nLet them not be touched by the flame,
\nAs they advance the Kingdom of Heaven,
\nAnd proclaim Salvation in Your Name.<\/p>\n

Give them boldness to speak the truth,
\nAnd wisdom to answer every naysayer,
\nHelp them to wield their strong sword,
\nWith which to defeat the soul slayer.<\/p>\n

Bestow upon them Gifts of the Spirit,
\nFill them with your patience and love,
\nAssist them in guiding the lost sheep,
\nTo your great Home in Heaven above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
