31 Days of Prayer – 15th of the Month
We believe that prayer is the backbone of seeing real transformation in the City of Florence. What does it mean to pray to the Lord on behalf of the city? Each prayer is rooted in God’s heart for every part of our city. Take some time to pray with us. If you are interested in going deeper as a part of our prayer network please send us an email to prayer@helpingflorenceflourish.org.
Military
Today we pray for the members of the Armed Force.
Pray this prayer: “Lord, your Word says you are our shield and our protector, our defender and fortress. You are a God of might and justice, who wields power perfectly and proportionately to accomplish your will. You delight in a lawful, just and secure society where people can flourish. We pray for your image bearers who serve in our armed forces, who are entrusted with the power of the sword and shield. Give them wisdom as they discern how to wield that power justly and responsibly. Protect them when they are placed in harm’s way and care for their families when they are deployed. Military life can make it difficult to have healthy family and personal relationships, especially when serving in one area for a short time. May we befriend those who are stationed in the area, inviting them into our homes and our lives. And may they flourish as they connect more closely to you, others, themselves and your creation.”
