Almighty God,
Protector of the land, the fields, and every living creature entrusted to our care, we come before You with humble hearts, asking for Your mighty hand of protection over our ranchers and farmers, the stewards of the food that sustains our nation. Lord, You see their long days, their early mornings, their labor under the sun, and the weight they carry to keep families, communities, and entire regions nourished.
We lift up every pasture, barn, grazing field, and open range. We ask You to shield our livestock from the threat of screwworm, from infestations that bring suffering, loss, and fear. Father, place a divine barrier around every herd, flock, and animal … cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and all creatures that depend on human hands for safety. Let Your protection be like a wall of fire around them, keeping away every parasite, pest, and hidden danger that seeks to harm.
Lord, bless the ranchers and farmers who rise before dawn, who walk the land with vigilance, who watch over their animals with dedication and compassion. Strengthen their bodies, sharpen their awareness, and guide their decisions. Give them wisdom to recognize early signs of disease, clarity to take swift action, and peace in moments of uncertainty. Let Your presence be felt in every barn stall, every feeding trough, and every quiet moment when they pause to breathe and gather strength.
We pray over the safety of our food supply, from the fields to the processing plants, from the ranches to the tables of families across the country. Protect the integrity of our livestock, ensuring that the food produced is wholesome, safe, and free from contamination. Bless the hands that raise, harvest, transport, and prepare it. Let Your covering rest upon every step of the journey.
Lord, we ask for divine intervention against screwworm outbreaks, that they be stopped before they begin, contained before they spread, and eliminated before they cause harm. Let Your healing flow through the land, restoring balance, health, and abundance.
Bless every rancher and farmer with resilience, provision, and hope. Surround their families with peace. Let their work be fruitful, their animals healthy, and their land protected under Your watchful eye.
We declare Your promise of safety, Your promise of provision, and Your promise of protection over all who labor to feed others. May Your favor rest upon them today and always.
Amen.
