Father … Almighty God … I come before You on behalf of Your beloved Israel. You are the Lord of Hosts — the God of Angel Armies! Send Your legions of angels to assist Your people. You have called them to be as a rising Lion, alert and ready to attack the enemy. Strengthen these, Your people.
You are a very present help in trouble. Thank You. Thank You for Your presence in battle, in sorrow, in fear, and in overwhelm. Go with the Israeli army into battle and shield them from danger.

For You are not against me, Lord. No! You are for me. You call me Your daughter.
