Pray for our American Heroes

[Irish Rose]

I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal men, the sons of men, who are but grass, that you forget the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor? The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread. For I am the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD Almighty is his name. I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand— I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, “You are my people.” (Isaiah 51:12-16)

[Irish Rose]

Father, because of who You are, we come to You today.

Lord, we pray for our troops, that when they are afraid, they will put their trust in You.

Father, thank You for the freedom we have to vote and to choose our leaders. As we go to the polls next Tuesday, please grant all of us in this nation wisdom and sound judgment. We ask You, Lord, to guard the integrity of these elections, that all victories would be honest ones.

Lord, we pray for the unborn, asking You to raise up through these elections leaders who will protect them and stand up for them.

Father, You are our Maker, the LORD our God. Forgive us for the times when we fear mortal men, when we forget You, when we live in terror because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction. For where is the wrath of the oppressor? The cowering prisoners will soon be set free, and they will not lack bread. The sons of men are but grass, but You are the LORD Almighty, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar. You are He who comforts us. Your hand, the hand that laid the foundations of the earth, covers us with its shadow; You who set the heavens in place say to us, “You are my people.” We lift our hearts to You – our salvation and our strength – and we trust in You through the Name of Jesus our Firstborn brother, Amen.

[Irish Rose]

A call to prayer.

The Truth About Maps
November 3, 2012

GPS is the latest way for travelers to find the best route to their destination, but my husband and I still navigate the old-fashioned way—with maps. Since Jay is usually the driver, the role of map watcher is mine by default. In general, I am not directionally challenged, but it seems that way when I try to navigate while the car is moving. Even though I know where we want to end up, I can’t figure out the best way to get there if we don’t stop to find out where we are. I need to get my bearings.

This can be true in our spiritual life as well. When we try to figure out the way God wants us to go, we need to stop and get our spiritual bearings. If we don’t, we are likely to end up lost in unintended places, situations, or relationships.

In helping His disciples navigate life and find their way through the traps and temptations of the world, Jesus often said, “stop.” “Stop grumbling,” “stop judging by mere appearances,” “stop doubting and believe” (John 6:43; 7:24; 20:27 NIV). To follow Jesus, we frequently have to stop something we are doing that’s wrong. As we depend on His guidance, we will learn to go in the way He says is right.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me,
and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked
way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
—Psalm 139:23-24

God’s way is the right way to go.

Read: John 6:44-59

He who hates his brother . . . does not know where he is going. —1 John 2:11

Bible in a Year:
John 4-6

Lord God,

Thank You for the privilege of being able to vote on Tuesday. We pray that America would choose the leader who will bless Israel through support and encouragement and defense. May America be blessed once again because we choose to stand by Your chosen. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

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.

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.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Lord, we pray for the unborn, asking You to raise up through these elections leaders who will protect them and stand up for them.

Father, You are our Maker, the LORD our God. Forgive us for the times when we fear mortal men, when we forget You, when we live in terror because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction. For where is the wrath of the oppressor? The cowering prisoners will soon be set free, and they will not lack bread. The sons of men are but grass, but You are the LORD Almighty, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar. You are He who comforts us.
