March - Government and Military

(Written by Lilian Schmid)

Every year we dedicate the whole month of March, in prayer for Government and the Military.

In 2014 the Lord put in our hearts to start initiatives: "Adopt a Senator" and "Adopt an MP". Choose one federal MP (House of Representatives) and One Senator to pray for each day.

For more information go to TS Prayer Calendar & TS Adopt A Senator/MP

Praying for our Defence Force

Psalm 91 describes the security of the one who trusts in the Lord. Not only was it prayed by the psalmist thousands of years ago, but by countless men and women throughout history. For example, during World War I, the 91st Brigade of the Army prayed Psalm 91 together every day. Although they were engaged in three of the bloodiest battles in the war, these soldiers had no combat-related casualties. Not because the passage was a good luck charm or mantra, but because God's word has power. When we pray His word, we are paving the way for His grace, power and protection to come in our lives and the lives of those we intercede for.

As Hebrews 4:12 says, "The word of God is living and powerful" - powerful because all the power of God's inherent nature stands behind His word.

Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right for this country, also that our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God. That is what we have to pray for: that there is a plan, and that that plan is God's plan. So bless them with your prayers.
