Pray for Our American Heroes and Nation
March 22, 2015 | Faith

Posted on 03/22/2015 10:38:16 AM PDT by Faith

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
– Matthew 11: 28-30

Holy God,

So often we try to carry our own burdens instead of casting them upon You. How blessed we are to have a God Who wants to bear our load, our worries, our concerns, our trials upon Himself. You do this out of Your great love for us, Lord. We deserve none of Your assistance. We cannot earn any of Your help. These are gifts that are freely given to us----those precious treasures purchased for us through the atonement and available to all those who trust in You and believe in Your promises. Thank You, our God of blessing and comfort.

Father, we thank You for so great a love that You have for us. We ask that You help our military men and women to know and receive this beautiful love as well. Many of them are in situations of great danger. We ask You to carry that burden for them, Lord. Carry the burden of protection for their loved ones back home who wait for their return. Carry the burdens of their day to day lives in which they may be living in very difficult circumstances. Help them to know the blessed assurance that You are their yoke bearer. You know all that they need and Your mercies are new every morning.

Grant Your people Israel the revelation of Jesus Christ, that all may know the love of the Messiah and the redemption that was purchased for all those who believe. Father, we ask that people all over the world would pray for this beloved country and that the people of this nation would continue to stand with them as allies.

Forgive the sins of our nation, Father, and help us to return to You in every area of our lives. Save us from the sins of abortion and homosexuality. Help us to honor the truth of Your Word and the teachings You have provided us.

Lord, Your yoke is easy, and Your burden is light. We can only enjoy those benefits if we submit our burdens unto You. Help us to do so, Lord, that we may rejoice in the rest that we find for our souls. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

WHY? Obama is PUNISHMENT to the Americans, Canada, Mexico and the World..

Pretty much deserved (by most) as well....
The scary part is Obama just might be “the antie” in the punishment game..
Worse may be to come.. 75,000,000+ and more murdered babies DEMAND IT..
Abuse of of the weakest and their rapes demands it..

Time to get off the prayer rug, pull the Yamikas, crack open the prayer closet. come out...
AND GET BUSY...

Dear friend,
I can agree that action is needed as well as prayer. I have been working as a sidewalk counselor and prayer warrior at our local abortion facility daily for the past six and a half years. I urge all to get involved. Jesus is the Answer——always and forever. God bless you.

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

Gen. George Washington and his Troops Marching To Valley Forge
December 1777




GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON
THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE

"Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod"

Mixed District Choir, Fairfax, Virginia

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 his prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His Manifold Blessings upon the new Nation.


Lafayette

Steuben

Pulaski

FROM THE BRAVE, albeit weary, ill-equipped, and untrained volunteers who marched into Valley Forge on 19 December 1777 arose, with the help of some gallant friends from across the waves, the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, global defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants.



AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high in that bleak Winter, let our prayers now rise like 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 gather 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.

HEAVENLY FATHER, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these valiant 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.
