We have confidence that if we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us and, therefore, that we have the petitions we have asked of You.
We thank You, God, upon every remembrance of our beloved military men and women, always in our prayers making request for them all with joy, particularly for those who know You. Thank You for our fellowship in the gospel. We are confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in them will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for us to think this of them, because we have them in our hearts, inasmuch as they are all are partakers with us of grace. For God is our witness, how greatly we long for them all with the affection of Jesus Christ. (Phil 1:3-8).
We have confidence that Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. Therefore, cause their love to grow and abound so they can discharge their duties without fear and with Your favor and protection. (1 Jn.4:17-18)
We love You because You first loved us and thank You for the work You are doing in us all.
Grant us the grace of godly leaders and of the outpouring of Your Spirit on all our citizens. Let righteousness and truth prevail in Jesus name. Amen.
With the assurance of God's love for us all, let us pray today.
Amen.
Amen to your Prayer for Our American Heroes and Our Nation.
Amen.
Lord forgive America for our turning away from Thee. We are without hope when we do not know Thee. Keep us strong and encouraged in this time of so many moving away from faith.
Help us LORD. Send Thy Holy Spirit and make a renewal of faith wash our nation, in Jesus name, amen.
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Joining in prayer.
Blessings, etabeta
Read: 1 John 1
Chad Pennington is a former American football player who has suffered multiple career-threatening injuries. Twice, his injuries forced him to endure surgery, months of physical therapy, and weeks of training to get back onto the field. Yet, both times he not only returned to playing but he also excelled at such a high level that he was named Comeback Player of the Year in the National Football League. For Pennington, his efforts were an expression of his determination to return to football.
Spiritually, when sin and failure break our relationship with God and sideline our service, determination alone is not what restores us to rightness with God and usefulness in His kingdom. When we are sidelined because of sin, the path to a comeback is confession as well. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
For us to be able to recover from our spiritual failings, we are absolutely dependent on the One who gave Himself for us. And that gives us hope. Christ, who died for us, loves us with an everlasting love and will respond with grace as we confess our faults to Him. Through confession, we can find His gracious restorationthe greatest of all comebacks.

Amen, Hiskid
Truly - Vengeance is mine says the Lord.
May we trust He will make all things right, right all the wrongs, as we lift up all God’s people in prayer.
Joining you in Prayer for Our American Heroes and Our GREAT Nation!
Thank You Hiskid...just this morning, I reassured my son that we love him, and that most importantly, GOD does too. Amen. We pray for each of our beloved heroes today and always: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all...<3
Amen.
Amen to your powerful prayer, Hiskid. Prayers also for the three Israeli young men who were kidnapped and murdered. We ask Your peace and quiet strength for their family members, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
