Pray for Our American Heroes and Nation (2/4/13)
February 4, 2013 | Faith

Posted on 02/04/2013 10:54:56 AM PST by Faith

Let all anger, bitterness, and wrath, and clamor,
and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice;
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God
for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 4: 31-32

KEYWORDS: america; faith; military; pray
Heavenly Father,

We live in a culture where we have grown increasingly coarse and aggressive in our communications. Frequently, anger, wrath, clamor, and evil speaking are generated without hesitation, and sadly, this happens to Christians as well as non-Christians. Lord, You have called us to be salt and light. How can we be that light if no one can see any difference between those who love You and those who know You not? Father, because we are the body of Christ, may we be the hands and hearts that extend Your grace to others. Help us, Lord, to represent Your Kingdom with the love that You have placed in our hearts. We pray that others would see the difference in us and that we would always reflect Your love in all that we do.

Grant our military men and women the peace that passes all understanding. Help them with every challenge and dilemma, and may they always cast their cares upon You for You care for them. Give them supernatural protection as You assign mighty angels to guard each one.

May Israel be eternally blessed, Lord, and may You guide their leaders through Your wisdom and grace. Help them to know that You are the God of the ages, and that You will not forsake them.

Lord, You are our dwelling place for all generations. Help us to honor You this week in all that we say and think and do. May we host Your eternal presence within us as we seek to glorify the One Who died for us. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Amen

Heavenly Father,
May we all humble ourselves and repent - especially in how we treat each other. Start a revival - first in our hearts.
Show Your mercy to all who serve others to keep us safe - and give them a double portion of Your blessing and protection.
In Jesus Name,
Amen

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!



GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON
THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE

"Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod"
William Billings
Mixed District Choir, Fairfax, Virginia
(Click)


In the coldest and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered those prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting glory and bestowed His manifold benefits upon the new Nation.

In like manner, let our prayers now rise lie a fountain for our Heroes in the American Armed Forces who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and keep them in the shelter of Your Healing Wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.




SHADOWS AT ARLINGTON
God Of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand
Morman Tabernacle Choir

Heavenly Father, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these brave men and women who have fallen in the service of our Beloved Nation and in defense of the Freedoms we hold dear. We pray that You gather them in Your loving embrace, that You cause Your countenance to shine upon them, and that You vouchsafe their souls to dwell eternally in Your Divine Presence. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.
