Pray for our American Heroes

Father God, we thank You for the privilege of coming to You in prayer, for the invitation and the command to seek You.

Lord, as even more troops are sent to Iraq, we pray for their safety in that country, and Your blessing on their labors.

O God, the Holy One, You came from Teman, from Mount Paran. Your glory covered the heavens and Your praise filled the earth. Your splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from Your hand, where Your power was hidden. You stood, and shook the earth; You looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains crumbled and the age-old hills collapsed. We have heard of Your fame, and we stand in awe of Your deeds, O LORD. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Your ways are eternal, and from age to age Your might and Your love never fail. We praise You, our sovereign God, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.

A call to prayer.

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

GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON
THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE

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.

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.

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)

Amen, Irish Rose
