Deploy Your Forces, Lord

We pray for all who are shocked and shaken by items in the news, and by the state of the world. Renew the focus of our hearts and our flow of prayer, that it may be neither the swathed in sentimentality, nor swayed by prejudice, but founded in the spirit of truth and focused on the Prince of Peace. Answer when we call to You, O righteous God. Grant relief from our distress and hear our prayers, and let Your troops be willing for the day of battle. As the commander of Adonai's army, deploy Your forces as best may be. Let the army of Young people whom You are raising up serve with vision and compassion. Keep their mission vision clear, and their hearts free from all the distractions the enemy may want to send, and from key relationships from turning sour. Let these Young men and women be as arrows in Your hand, pioneers and spearheads for Your kingdom, and true soul shapers for You. For those in mature middle years, to administer and oversee many aspects of the work of Your church with clarity and humility. And for those more advanced in years, that they may pray prayers that You can answer and speak wisdom that lightens burdens, and imparts so much of what it means to wait on You. And because deliverance comes from You, we ask that Your blessing rests on these Your people as they serve Your kingdom purposes, all ages Lord working together, whether in frontline communications or strategically placed further back. We call out to You because You will answer from Your holy mountain.
