Extra prayers for our troops this week who are keeping us safe
Posted By RichC on March 15, 2026
As we bow our heads in prayer this Saturday evening or Sunday morning, pray especially for the men and women serving in our armed forces — those stationed far from home, in harm’s way, protecting freedoms and standing guard for peace. The highlighted passage from Psalm 144 has been top of mind since seeing it on my social media feed:
Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle—
My lovingkindness and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer,
My shield and the One in whom I take refuge...
– Psalm 144:1–2, excerpted
This ancient prayer of David reminds us that true strength, refuge, and deliverance come from God — the ultimate Rock and Protector. Whether in literal battles or the daily challenges of service, many find comfort in calling on Him for safety and guidance.
Today, I’m asking friends of all faiths who believe in the power of prayer to lift up our troops:
- Pray for their safety and protection from harm, wherever they are deployed or serving.
- Ask for wisdom, courage, and peace for them and their families back home.
- Pray for swift resolutions to conflicts, for the return of all service members to their loved ones and for healing in places of tension.
If this resonates with you, please take a moment whenever you read this—to pause and pray. Your prayers matter.
