God, in Isaiah 49,
Says, near the chapter's end,
Concerning who contends with you:
"With him I will contend.
As for your children? Them I save!
And those who would oppress?
Their own blood they will drink as wine,
And will eat their own flesh."
Great Father, this, Your promise made,
We bow now and we claim:
This saving of the children, and
We ask in Jesus' name.
You far surpass the tyrant, and
You've promised to contend,
So by the power of your might
We beg you to defend.
We ask you to set things aright,
In Jesus' Name, Amen!
written New Year's Day evening, 2006.

Isaiah 49 (ESV)
24Can the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be rescued? 25For thus says the LORD: "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken, and the prey of the tyrant be rescued, for I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children. 26I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with wine. Then all flesh shall know that I am the LORD your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."

If I may borrow your prayer, I'd like to use it. Very appropriate right now.
Indeed, do!
And remember, though individual prayer is important, yea, vital, it is as the church of Jesus comes together and wages war through praying together, with righteous designs, that God moves most clearly.
Witness here, here, and here.
