31 Ways to Pray for Millitary

I came across this print out in one of the Bible's we have that we don't use very much. JMP had used it and this paper was in it. I found the list online so copied it here. I think it is a good idea to pray for our military and like the specific prayer ideas here. You might want to print it out for yourself and pray a different one each day of the month.

31 Ways To Pray for Military
From Dr. Charles Stanley
When we think of our fellow Americans serving in the military, and the sacrifices and demands that their job places upon them and their families, we are in deep gratitude. Whether they are serving in our homeland, or overseas, their task is a great one. We have been called upon to pray for them during these desperate days. In an effort to pray more consistently and effectively this list has been compiled. There is one prayer focus and related verse for 31 days. Let us be faithful in prayer. As long as "the war on terrorism" exists, let us be faithful prayer warriors in behalf of our fellow citizens who have committed themselves to defending our America.
