Lord, may all of us take an example from our brave brothers in the field. May we take every precaution, but then may we face the enemy courageously, not hindered by fear of incoming from any direction at any time, but trusting the Spirit of the Lord to raise a standard against the enemy's flood. And let us see the battle through to victory, for the battle rages for each one of us just as surely as it does in Falujah. May each one hold his position, uplift his brothers, and in all things be true to his pledge to our God.
And may You be glorified therein. For You are not a respecter of persons, You delight not in the legs of man. No, You who dwell in the high and holy places grant favor to him of contrite heart, who trembles at Your word.
Each one then is a president, a ruler, and at the same time also a servant. We have become kings and priests, and have been made friends of the great King. As Your regents, may we comport ourselves in a way worthy of our exalted position, in all purity and wisdom and courage. For You are worthy of all praise and honor.
Thy glorious will be done, to the glory of Jesus.
Thank you, Paul_B. Your prayer is truly an inspiration. Have a joyous and blessed Thanksgiving.
