    Praise belongs to You, Dear Lord God, for Your faithfulness and for Your goodness that You daily demonstrate to us all. Thank You for all Your mercies. Dear Heavenly Father, I know that none of the prayers we have prayed according to Your purposes will fall away without being answered. I know that Your purposes are always for the greatest good. Please give encouragement today for those who are working so hard of the good of Afghanistan. As today’s prompt suggests, please divide and confuse those who would plan terror in Afghanistan, or who would exercise oppression over others. Please make a testimony to Yourself in that nation, that Your praise might be more widely known.

    Dear Heavenly Father, thinking about the terrorists and the trouble-makers in Afghanistan, I am saddened both for the harm they have caused and the trouble they intend to cause, but also for the condition of their own darkened souls. They do not know that they are the greatest victims, for they have believed and given themselves to lies and to the power of the evil one. Today may You please destroy the power that evil has over the hearts and minds of these people that has led them into deeds of violence and oppression! May there truly be disruptions of things that are dark and evil. May their leadership come to realize that perhaps they are striving against all that is good and righteous and true. May the lies be exposed in all their deformity. May the horror of guilt at taking innocent lives and at imposing cruelties on people made in the image of God rise up in these men’s consciousness and be something from which they are unable to escape. May such things lead ultimately to repentance and a complete change in behavior in these individuals. Please put people and circumstances in the way of the troublemakers in Afghanistan to cause them to come to a powerful conviction of sin and of righteousness and of judgment. Dear Heavenly Father, will You also help and equip the forces in Afghanistan to be able to identify and to isolate the places where trouble originates and to discover the main purveyors and perpetrators of evil and of violence. Please equip them to be able to effectively deal with the sources of trouble in Afghanistan and ensure the safety of the Afghan people. May our troops also recognize their dependency on You, and honor You in their attitudes and actions, so that You might bless them. Thank You, Dear and Gracious Lord, for hearing and for answering our prayers. In Jesus’ True and Holy Name. Amen.

    Father God I praise Your Holy Name. Father I ask You please to interrupt the thoughts of the evil ones so that their plans of violence fall apart. Please place a shield of protection around the military as they put their lives on the line each and every second of the day for Afghanistan and it’s people. Please let the people give what information they might have about the enemy to the military. Be with all those that are Christian and let them witness as they have the opportunity.
    In Jesus’ Precious and Holy Name. Amen

    YOU ALONE ARE GOD and there is no other; You are the TRUE JUDGE of the earth, and ONE DAY, EVERY KNEE will bow and EVERY TONGUE will CONFESS that Jesus is Lord to Your eternal glory.

    Father, we need Your help. we come before Your throne and ask that You would DIVIDE and CONFUSE the plans of the men who are dedicated to violence in Afghanistan. Disrupt this ungodly alliances, our Lord and Savior, that have been formed, and RELEASE my Lord division and strife into the camp of those who devise wickedness.

    Lord, We ask that You would bring MISTRUST, DOUBT, and FEAR to place a cloud over their decisions upon those who seek violence: CONFOUND the wicked who work against the good people of Afghanistan. Break down their CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION and make this day, a day of babbling in the camp of the enemy. ARISE! O LORD and bring strength, encouragement, and stratergy to the troops in Afghanistan. Let Your Banner of Love come each soldier, and place a protective edge over them. In Jesus’ name we ask this. Amen.

    Father, We ask for a division in the enemies camp. Scatter them until they are so weaken and confused they are not able to function to do any harm. Lord, if they won’t yield to you and surrender, take them out. GOD deliver the innocent ones who want to live in peace. AMEN

    I love You, Lord Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, and I thank You that You are with the righteous and You see the wicked. Reveal Yourself to all upon the earth. Reveal Your majesty, Your power, Your glory and Your love. Draw all men unto You as Your Son said that You would when we lived in unity with each other. We are agreeing in unity on this prayer site, and we ask You to honor that, Lord.
    There is none like You - the One we can trust with our lives and the lives of our families and loved ones. Pour out of Your Spirit upon the whole earth, and let all hearts so turn to You that there will be no more strife and dissension, no war, no malice toward others. Let Your peaceable Kingdom come and Your righteous will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, in Jesus name, amen.

    Father thank you for hearing all these petitions for your mercy and help in this time of heart-wringing trouble in Afghanistan. You are our only present help in time of such great need. You are the mighty fortress which our spirits run into when any threat is felt. You know our every thought and feeling. Grant us boldness as we grow closer to you, to know You even a small portion of what You know of us. We bless You and lift up Your holy name. Enable us to hear your commands to love our enemies. To love them with the same consideration we have for our own persons, to trust our enemies even as much as we trust ourselves–apart from You–knowing that in the flesh I am no better than my enemy standing before You. The terrorist has equal access to Your grace, but for their wickedness and iniquity that has captured their hearts into a hard oposition against You and Your Way, Truth, and Life. Can we trust You more this day? Grant that. Can we grow closer to You now? Grant that. Can we help speed up the ending of terrorism through any and every effort to communicate Your love and forgiving grace? Grant that dear Lord. Peace and renewal of spirit to all those serving our great United States of America where ever they are. In Jesus name, Amen.

    Let those who plot evil be caught in their own trap. Reveal all of their plans they try to hide. Confuse and confound their thoughts. Let nothing stand that they try to build.

    Redeem two souls for your kingdom so they might know your peace and protection during this season of war. Reveal your truth and hope in a mighty way.

    LORD,
    Rumor has it that one of the missing sailors has been found - dead…
    I ask that YOU be with the family of this sailor and with the family of the remaining missing sailor…
    Be with the teams looking for the missing sailor, keep their wits sharp, keep them well hydrated, keep them comfortable in the desert heat…
    I ask all this in Jesus name

    Father, thank You for Your word that is true and everlasting. Thank You for Your faithfulness and Your unfailing love.

    Pour out Your compassion on Afghanistan today, LORD, so that the people can experience for themselves the freedom to worship You. Set their feet on neutral ground and disarm the enemy so they can hear Your voice. Speak to them in dreams and visions. Speak to them through Your wonderful creation that they live in. Give them peace when there is no reason for peace. And pour out joy so that their hearts are full. Bring glory to Yourself, dear LORD, in Jesus’ name. Amen

    Dear Father, I agree with all the prayers posted today. Your Word says in Matthew 18:19, “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” I don’t believe I’m taking it out of context in asking that you hear these prayers and answer them according to this verse. Please rule and reign in Afghanistan. Protect our troops and render the evil of islam powerless. Please let your Kingdom come and your will be done now. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.

    Regarding our fighting men and women in Afghanistan particularly, I was impressed by Is. 41:10-16; “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will luphold yu with My righteous right hand. Behold, all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored; those who contend with you will be as nothing, and will perish. You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them, those who war with yu will be as nothing, and non-existent. For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, who says to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.’ Do not fear, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel; I will help you, declares the Lord, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. Behold, I have made you a new sharp threshing sledge with double edges; you will thresh the mountains, and pulverize them. And will make the hills like chaff. You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the storm will scatter them; but you will rejoice in the Lord, you will glory in the Holy ONe of Israel.” Father, I pray this Your Word over our soldiers, airmen, and naval forces. They need Your help Lord in discerning the tactics and strategies of the enemy. I declare and decree that they will be able to ferret out every despicable scheme of the enemy BEFORE they strike - and that they will have great victory in the days ahead. We thank You for their sacrifice and that of their families. Keep them in the palm of Your hand today and every day. Amen

    Father, as widespread reports come forth of intelligence “leaks” about the war in Afghanistan, I appeal to You for safekeeping of our troops throughout the country. We have prayed today’s prayer; we have agreed that You are the King of Kings and over Afghanistan, over our troops stationed there and over the people of Afghanistan…people You so dearly love. So we ask of You that this not compromise America’s position there or put anyone — civilians or our troops — in harm’s way. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

    Thank you King of Glory for being LORD of LORDS and King of Kings. Holy Spirit bring truth to the people of Afghanistan today so they might truly open up the gates of their city and the door of their hearts to welcome love, peace and hope into their community.

    I pray this prayer for our country to recognize our King.

    Father, I join in this prayer and say to Afghanistan, LIFT UP YOUR GATES that the Ancient of Days, the King of Glory may enter your fortresses.

    YOU alone save. My Lord, and My GOD, I pray for these people that they may have revelation knowledge of your beauty and wisdom and power..YOU are their Creator. By your hands you formed them for good and not for evil.

    Lord, I pray they would this day bow down to you, humbled in their spirits, broken before you of self…Let them cry out to you Abba, Father, lover of my soul, save me from my enemies. GOD, I ask you deliver them from evil and let them live in peace.

    I target the dark spirt that has been over this land in the middle east. Under your authority, Jesus, KING OF KINGS, who has conquored death and hold all the keys, destroy these evil warring powers and bring Your Kingdom to rule over them.

    You are over every principle and power and rulers in high places. Those warring against your power and rule can not stand in their darkness hiding from Your Great Light that chases the darkness away.

    I lift you up over all this land and usher in the Prince of Peace by my prayers said in faith and trust in You alone. AMEN

    Lord, You are the King of Glory, the LORD Strong and Mighty, and all praise
    belongs to You. Please give our troops wisdom and discernment as they patrol
    and protect themselves and the innocent people of Afganistan and Iraq. Let the
    plots and schemes of the evil one fail miserably. Shed Your light in the Darkness that is Afganistan and Iraq so the people will finally be released from the bondage that has enslaved them, the worship of other gods and idols. Open their eyes and hearts to the ONE TRUE GOD, the I AM, so they can turn from their evil ways, confess their sins and proclaim JESUS as LORD over their lives and land. Only then will the darkness be defeated. Praise YOU Lord God, because only YOU can do the impossible. Bring salvation to this broken land.
    Thy kingdom come and Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
    In Christ Jesus, amen.

    God bless YOU! Now MORE THAN EVER we need to press into prayer for Afghanistan. The last 2 months have reported the worst death toll for troops. There’s simply a BIG BATTLE going on for this region, would you please do whatever you can do to push the prayer focus for this and recruit folks to jump in with us on this Afghan Prayer Patrol.

    Remember:

    “Prayer is to the Christian what capital is to the business man.” L.Ravenhill

    Let’s do some ‘cashing IN’ for God’s will in Afghanistan, shall we?

    July 13th, 2010

    Thank you for pushing the plow of God’s purposes in Afghanistan forward with your prayers! Our prayers ARE making a difference. You will see His rewards released.

    “The Lord is far from the wicked but He hears the prayer of the righteous.” Pr. 15:29
