Make Bare Your Arm for our America, O Lord, O You Who are our Light. Our Land has Become Darkened through Sin, but You are Able to Cast the Darkness Away. Come and Save us, Your Majesty, that we Fall not into Just Judgement. May the Leaders that Practice Evil be Purged from Office, and Godly Men Arise in their Place. You are our Only Hope, King Jesus, our Only Protection and Peace. Our Merciful Master, Do Mighty Things, that we may Marvel, and Give You Fervent Praise!
"Praise the Lord!
I will thank the Lord with all my heart
As I meet with his godly people.
How amazing are the deeds of the Lord!
All who delight in him should ponder them.
Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty.
His righteousness never fails.
He causes us to remember his wonderful works.
How gracious and merciful is our Lord!
He gives food to those who fear him;
He always remembers his covenant.
He has shown his great power to his people
By giving them the lands of other nations.
All he does is just and good,
And all his commandments are trustworthy.
They are forever true,
To be obeyed faithfully and with integrity.
He has paid a full ransom for his people.
He has guaranteed his covenant with them forever.
What a holy, awe-inspiring name he has!
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true wisdom.
All who obey his commandments will grow in wisdom.
Praise him forever!" (Ps.111)
Our Lord, Fill our America with Mercies, with Grace Upon Grace Upon Grace. Stir Up the Spirits of Thy People, our Shepherd, that they will Run to the Polls. Forgive us our Sins, O Father our King, and Fill us with Reverance for Thy Name. Pour Your Lovingkindness Upon us, as we Pray in our Savior's Name, amen.
"For my strength is made perfect in weakness."
- 2 Corinthians 12:9
A primary qualification for serving God with any amount of success, and
for doing God's work well and triumphantly, is a sense of our own
weakness. When God's warrior marches forth to battle, strong in his own
might, when he boasts, "I know that I shall conquer, my own right arm and
my conquering sword shall get unto me the victory," defeat is not far
distant. God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own
strength. He who reckoneth on victory thus has reckoned wrongly, for "it
is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts."
They who go forth to fight, boasting of their prowess, shall return with
their gay banners trailed in the dust, and their armour stained with
disgrace. Those who serve God must serve him in his own way, and in his
strength, or he will never accept their service. That which man doth,
unaided by divine strength, God can never own. The mere fruits of the
earth he casteth away; he will only reap that corn, the seed of which was
sown from heaven, watered by grace, and ripened by the sun of divine love.
God will empty out all that thou hast before he will put his own into
thee; he will first clean out thy granaries before he will fill them with
the finest of the wheat. The river of God is full of water; but not one
drop of it flows from earthly springs. God will have no strength used in
his battles but the strength which he himself imparts.
Are you mourning over your own weakness? Take courage, for there must be
a consciousness of weakness before the Lord will give thee victory.
Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your
casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.
"When I am weak then am I strong,
Grace is my shield and Christ my song."
