PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND NATION!





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 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 for our heroes in the American military 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, Amen.

I like your new post very much. I wish we had Presidents today that were proud of their religion and knew what it meant to pray. George Washington was not afraid to pray and show his trust in God.

Thank you, Conor.
