Dear Lord, protect THESE men from accidents, diseases, dangers, and evil influences.  Keep THEM safe whenever THEY are on the FOB, at their station or somewhere in between. 
 
Lord, go before THEM whenever THEY walk.  Secure THEIR steps.  Keep THEM on your path so that THEIR feet do not slip.  If THEIR foot does slip, hold THEM up by your mercy.  Give THEM the wisdom and discretion to walk safely and not fall into danger.  Be THEIR rock of salvation and defense.  Make THEM to dwell in the shadow of your wings.  Be THEIR fortress, strength, shield, and stronghold so that THEY will not be moved or shaken.
 
Lord I pray that although bad things may be happening all around them, they will not come near THEM.  Save THESE MEN from any plans of the enemy that seek to destroy THEIR lives.  Please preserve THEIR going out and coming in from this time forth and even forevermore.  Amen
