We created this "How to pray for the home front" bookmark so people can use it as a reminder to pray for military families but to also help them to know what specifics to pray for.

1. Pray...for their children
*that they would be strong
for their children and would
have wisdom and
discernment in parenting
*that children would learn
how to cope with the deploy-
ment (fears, anxieties,
sadness) and learn how to
express themselves
*that schools would be
understanding and helpful
And keep praying
following the deployment!
*Pray for the time of
re-integration. After the
happy reunion, the period of
adjustment can be tough.
The whole family has been
affected/changed by
the deployment.
*It may be a time of dealing
with unresolved issues.
*The deployed parent needs
to fit back into the home that
has managed independently
without him/her for a period
of time. Parental/spousal
responsibilities may shift.
*Sometimes a return home
is followed by a move to a
new location-
Please keep praying!
