We are in your hands, O Lord, in a time where the world seems bent on destruction, and anger overwhelms all.
Teach us to be your light, reach out with your hands, choose with your mind each and every day, and know that you are always there, our true shelter.
Even though we cannot see the reasons why this happens, teach us to be the light and salt you asked us to be, even when it is difficult.
We especially ask your guidance for our leaders, our military, for those who must make the hard decisions how to keep us safe.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Thank you. A welcome prayer.
We journey through a vale of tears,
By many a cloud o’ercast;
And worldly cares and worldly fears,
Go with us to the last.
Not to the last! Thy Word hath said,
Could we but read aright,
“Poor pilgrim, lift in hope thy head,
At eve it shall be light!”
Though earthborn shadows now may shroud
Thy thorny path awhile,
God’s blessèd Word can part each cloud,
And bid the sunshine smile.
Only believe, in living faith,
His love and power divine;
And ere thy sun shall set in death,
His light shall round thee shine.
When tempest clouds are dark on high,
His bow of love and peace
Shines sweetly in the vaulted sky,
A pledge that storms shall cease.
Hold on thy way, with hope unchilled,
By faith and not by sight,
And thou shalt own His Word fulfilled,
“At eve it shall be light.”

Thank You, our Father, for Your Hand of Mercy Upon our Nation, Even in this Time of Darkness. May we be Little Lights, through Your Grace, to Bring Christ's Radiance to our Beloved Land. Help us, our Lord, and Enable us to Always Trust in You. Draw America to Thyself, King Jesus, and Cause us to Praise You through Thy Name. With the Psalmist we Pray:
"Now Bring us Back to Loving You, O Lord, so that Your Anger Never Need Rise Against us Again. Oh, Revive us! Then Your People can Rejoice in You Again. Pour Out Your Love and Kindness on us, Lord, and Grant us Your Salvation." (Ps.85:4,6,7)
"O Jehovah, Commander of the Heavenly Armies, where is there Another Mighty One Like You? Faithfulness is Your Very Character." (Ps.89:8)
Uphold Your Children During this Uncertain Time, O Lord our Praise-Worthy King. Thwart the Schemes of the Wicked for our Nation, and Shield Your Children from their Hand. Our Master, we Interceed for the Unborn, and for the Frozen Embryos, Pleading that You will Preserve their Precious Lives. Hold Back the Wicked from Touching them; Hold Back those who would "Steal, Kill, and Destroy." (Jn.10:10)
We Love You, Your Majesty, and Thank You for Hearing our Prayers. Revive us, King Jesus; Save us from the Coming Judgements, as we Pray In Thy Name and for Thy Glory, amen.
Amen and Amen.......
