Lord God, today I lift up all of the incredible young men in this Class. Everyone of them is a hero to us, and we know that You have a special place reserved for them in this journey. For each one testing to move on, for those on their way, for those who are waiting a bit more, I pray for strength, courage (which they have) and protection from You in the days and weeks to come. Protect them as they travel, make Your presence known to them. In the hour of their greatest challenge, give them Your extra push toward their goal. Be the wind beheath their wings.....

Refresh our sailors, both at home and abroad, give them your love, strength, and courage to do what is set before them.

Dear Lord,
I agree in prayer with each parent, wife and girlfriend asking for your protection over the guys all throughout Indoc.
Please, let each one lay peacefully down to sleep tonight. Let them have a really good nights sleep, wake up in the morning feeling refreshed, full of energy, free from any aches or pains or sickness.
Let the boat crews truly come together as a unit, a family, trusting each other, building each other up, working together to be the very best they can be through you Lord.
Let each of them feel the support that their families and friends have for them.
Let each of them be calm and confident while performing their evolutions. Keep each of them free from harm all throughout each day.
Let them comprehend and retain each thing that is taught to them. So, they may have quick and easy remembrance of it when needed.
Please, help each of us back home be supportive of them and prayerful over them. Please, keep us as peaceful as possible while we await their phone calls each day.
Thank you for letting them grow into the men that they are today.
It's in Jesus' name I pray and claim these prayers. Amen! -

Dear God, I ask you to be close to each young man in this class. Make your powerful presence known to each one, whether he is awake or sleeping, on land or sea, in the program or out, well or injured. Bring your healing and strength to each one. You have the plan and we can only have faith in you that it will come to pass in its time.
Comfort these moms and dads as they wait and pray for their son, give them rest and peace knowing that you are there when they cannot be. Comfort those who have abruptly had to change their long work-for plans. Help them with the grieving process as they move from one longed-for path to another, still unseen. I also pray for each sailor and his family who has been through this challenge no matter what the outcome. Each are held close in my heart.
Thank you, and
Amen -

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Presence and your Power. We praise you for the strength you are giving us as Moms as we watch our "boys". GIve us the words of encouragement to offer when we hear from them whether it be daily or weekly. I come to you today to ask your blessing on the men of Class 281. Prepare their bodies as they sleep for the days ahead. Heal their aches, cuts, rashes, and other physical aliments. I pray that you will strengthen their bodies, minds, and souls for the road down which they are walking. You are the shield of strength that gets them through the day and we thank you for that. I know you are the Sheperd holding his staff as he climbs the mountain, and your staff is providing the strength, warmth and spirit that our boys need today. I thank you for that. I praise your for his determination, endurance and physical power, without your love and gifts, he wouldn't be where he is today. Support all these families and the men in combat today dear Father. In Christ's name we pray Amen. -
