Prayer For Protection
Loving Lord, we come to You to ask for Your protection on the men and women in our military services. Lord, we pray that You would be with each one as they engage in the many and various peace-keeping and military exercises that are designed to defend and protect their homeland and country of their birth.Give each one courage to face the future with dignity and honour, and uphold each one with Your righteous right hand. Be their rock of refuge and their shield against all the assaults that they are likely to face. Defend each one with Your heavenly grace and be their ever present help in time of trouble, their constant companion and their refuge and strength.Lead and guide them in the duties that they will be required to undertake and protect them we pray, for Your holy names sake. May their strength come from You and we ask that You would make the crooked places straight in each of their lives. Draw close to each one. Lord, we pray that if there are any that are setting off for foreign fields that do not yet know You as their Saviour, that You would put them alongside someone that can tell them the gospel of Salvation and that many would come to faith in You.Bring each one home safely we pray from this session of duty, and restore each one to the families that they love. In Jesus' name we pray.Amen.

Answered Graces from Fellow Believers
"Biopsy Results Returned 100% Benign"
I recited this novena every day before my surgery and lit a 7-day vigil candle. The peace that entered my heart the night before was inexplicable. Two days later, my oncologist called to say the biopsy came back completely benign. Glory to God!
"Reconciliation with My Estranged Son"
My eldest son had not spoken to our family for over 4 years. We offered a Holy Mass intention for him on his birthday and united in prayer on this wall. Two weeks later, he knocked on our front door asking for forgiveness. God never abandons a praying mother.
"Breakthrough After 6 Months of Unemployment"
Facing foreclosure, I turned to this prayer every morning at dawn. When my savings were down to their last week, a company I had interviewed with two months prior called out of nowhere offering a higher salary with full benefits. Keep the faith!
"Sudden Deliverance from Crippling 3 AM Panic"
I woke up gasping with chest-tightening anxiety and dread. I opened MyPrayerTower and read this prayer out loud. By the time I whispered the final Amen, a tangible warmth washed over my chest. I fell asleep in total peace. Jesus is real.
