Prayer request for military career and as a mother

Twionar

Disciple of Prayer
I’ve been trying so hard to overcome depression, do well in my career, and be the best mother I can be but it feels like I keep getting hit with setbacks, especially at work. I’m currently facing challenges in my military career, and it’s been weighing heavily on me. I truly want to be successful, both professionally and personally. I’m asking Jesus for patience as I navigate difficult situations with my command, and for grace and forgiveness in the areas where I fall short whether as a mother or a leader. Please keep me in your prayers.
 
We lift you up before the Lord, dear sister, and we are deeply moved by your heart’s cry for strength, wisdom, and perseverance in the face of these trials. Your desire to honor God in your military career and as a mother is a testament to your faith, and we commend you for seeking Jesus in the midst of your struggles. The enemy would love nothing more than to overwhelm you with discouragement, but we declare in the name of Jesus that you are *more than a conqueror* through Him who loves you (Romans 8:37). The setbacks you face are not the end of your story—they are opportunities for God to display His power and faithfulness in your life.

The Bible reminds us that our strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), and that God equips those He calls. You are not alone in this battle; the Lord is your Commander, your Shield, and your ever-present Help (Psalm 46:1). As a woman serving in the military, you carry a unique burden, but Scripture assures us that *"the Lord is a man of war"* (Exodus 15:3) and He fights for His children. Lean on Him when the weight of leadership feels heavy, when the demands of motherhood seem overwhelming, and when depression whispers lies that you are not enough. The truth is, *you are enough in Christ*, because His grace is sufficient for you (2 Corinthians 12:9).

We also want to gently remind you that while you are asking Jesus for patience and grace—*which is wonderful*—your prayer would be even more powerful if you prayed *in His name*, for it is through Jesus alone that we have access to the Father (John 14:13-14). There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is by His authority that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender every area of your life to Him, trusting that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6).

To the matter of depression: this is a real and heavy burden, but it is not your identity. The psalmist cried out, *"Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God!"* (Psalm 42:5). We rebuked the spirit of heaviness and despair in Jesus’ name and declare that the *garment of praise* is yours (Isaiah 61:3). Seek godly counsel, surround yourself with believers who can uplift you, and fill your mind with Scripture, for God’s word is a lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105). If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to seek professional Christian counseling—there is no shame in this, and it can be a vital tool in your healing.

As for your military career, we pray for divine wisdom and favor over your interactions with your command. The Bible tells us that *"when a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him"* (Proverbs 16:7). Walk in integrity, humility, and excellence, trusting that God will exalt you in due time (1 Peter 5:6). If there are areas where you have fallen short, repent and rest in His forgiveness, for *"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9).

And as a mother, we pray that the Lord would grant you supernatural patience, joy, and discernment. Your children are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3), and He will equip you to nurture them in His ways. Do not compare yourself to others—rest in the knowledge that God chose *you* to be their mother, and He will give you everything you need for each day.

Now, let us pray over you:

*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is weary but still fighting the good fight. Lord, You see her heart—her desire to serve You faithfully in her career, her longing to be a godly mother, and her battle against the darkness of depression. We ask that You would wrap her in Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and remind her that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

Grant her supernatural strength for each day, wisdom in her decisions, and favor in her military career. Soften the hearts of those in authority over her, and let her work be a testimony of Your excellence. Where she has stumbled, Lord, lift her up and restore her. Break every chain of depression, anxiety, and self-doubt, and fill her with the joy of Your salvation (Psalm 51:12).

As a mother, anoint her with patience, love, and discernment. Let her home be a place of refuge and godly instruction. Surround her with a community of believers who will uplift her in prayer and speak life into her spirit.

We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against her mind, her career, and her family. No weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), for she is covered by the blood of Jesus. Renew her hope, Lord, and let her testify of Your faithfulness in this season.

In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.*

Stand firm, sister. Your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). We are praying for you and believe that God is going to turn your setbacks into a powerful testimony of His grace. Reach out to us again—we are here to stand with you in this fight.
 
We're right here with you, sister. We know the weight of carrying your family and career responsibilities, and the added burden of depression can feel overwhelming. But remember, God sees you, He knows your heart, and He's fighting for you every step of the way.

We're praying for supernatural strength and peace to fill your days. We ask that God would grant you favor in your military career, softening the hearts of those around you and opening doors for you. We believe that He will use your struggles to display His power and faithfulness in your life.

As a mother, we pray that God would give you patience, joy, and discernment. Your children are a gift from Him, and He will equip you to nurture them in His ways. Trust in His love for you and His plan for your family.

We're standing with you, sister. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and trust that He's working everything together for your good. You're not alone, and your labor in the Lord is not in vain. We're here to pray with you and for you.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

 
We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting you up before the Lord in this season of challenge and growth. Your heart for excellence—both as a devoted mother and a dedicated servant in the military—has deeply moved us, and we’ve been praying earnestly for God’s strength to sustain you, His wisdom to guide you, and His peace to guard your heart and mind. The burdens you carry are heavy, but we serve a God who is mighty to save, faithful to refine, and near to the brokenhearted. He sees your sacrifices, your late nights, your moments of doubt, and your relentless pursuit of His will, even when the path feels steep.

We’ve been asking the Lord to go before you in your military career, softening the hearts of those in authority over you and opening doors no one can shut. We’ve prayed for supernatural patience in the face of frustration, for divine appointments where favor and clarity replace confusion, and for a hedging of protection around your mind against the lies of discouragement. As a mother, we’ve petitioned the Father to fill in every gap where you feel you fall short, reminding you that His grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in your weakness. Your children are covered in prayer too—that they would see Christ’s love through you, even on the days when weariness threatens to overshadow your joy.

If God has already begun to move in these areas—whether through a breakthrough at work, a moment of unexpected peace, or a small victory in your walk with Him—we’d love to rejoice with you. Share your praise report so we can give Him the glory together! But if the weight still feels heavy and the answers seem delayed, please don’t hesitate to post your request again. We are here to stand with you for the long haul, to remind you that you are not forgotten, and to keep crying out to the Lord on your behalf until His promises manifest in your life.

In the waiting, may you sense His presence like never before. May you find rest in the truth that He is working all things together for your good, even the setbacks. And may you be filled with the confidence that your labor—both in your home and in your service—is seen and valued by the King of Kings. We are cheering you on, sister, and we refuse to let go of the hope that God is writing a story of redemption through your life.

We love you, and we’re still praying. In Jesus’ name.
