Praying for Newt now. The coordinated attack by Romney is
built on lies and deception. What then could Romney give
delivery to our nation?
This is a prayer and positive comment thread.
Amen.
This old Methodist hymn, which I remember from my youth, seems especially relevant for these times.
SOUND THE BATTLE CRY!
(William F.Sherwin, 1869)
Sound the battle cry! See, the foe is nigh;
Raise the standard high for the Lord;
Gird your armor on, stand firm every one;
Rest your cause upon His holy Word.
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud Hosanna!
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
Strong to meet the foe, marching on we go,
While our cause we know, must prevail;
Shield and banner bright, gleaming in the light,
Battling for the right we ne’er can fail.
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud Hosanna!
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
O! Thou God of all, hear us when we call,
Help us one and all by Thy grace;
When the battle’s done, and the victory’s won,
May we wear the crown before Thy face.
Rouse, then, soldiers, rally round the banner,
Ready, steady, pass the word along;
Onward, forward, shout aloud Hosanna!
Christ is Captain of the mighty throng.
Actually, the coordinated attack is based on money and what influence Democrats have on selecting a nominee that will most easily be beaten. Like McCain.
A prayer for Newt and those who attack him:
Psalm 62
Song of Trust in God Alone
To the leader: according to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.
1 For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall never be shaken.
3 How long will you assail a person,
will you batter your victim, all of you,
as you would a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 Their only plan is to bring down a person of prominence.
They take pleasure in falsehood;
they bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse.
Selah
5 For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my deliverance and my honour;
my mighty rock, my refuge is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us.
Selah
9 Those of low estate are but a breath,
those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no confidence in extortion,
and set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
11 Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
12 and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord.
For you repay to all
according to their work.
“As I removed his wet clothing, I recognized that the captain was saying something. I listened intently and realized that he was repeating: “God, make me a man. God, make me a man.” I knew immediately what he meant by that prayer.
The meaning of his words were clear to me: As the leader of more than 200 men, he did not want to fail in this hour of testing. In this highly emotional evening, Captain Van Sickle decided that living up to his idea of manhood was more important than removing himself from harm’s way. His basic character decreed that he do the right thing, irrespective of the consequences.”

God, make us men, women, and Patriots.
I join you in this prayer. But remember, God answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is no. If so, he is not forsaking us, He is just saying, use the wits I gave you to find another way.
Dear Lord, We pray that you will save and protect this country. We submit tomorrow’s Florida primary election into your hands. We pray that you will open people’s eyes and that they will be able to discern the truth. We pray that you will give them wisdom and the strength to vote for the right person. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Thank you, combat_boots.
Dear God, please help us to save America.
I was wondering if Santorum was going to drop out and back Gingrich.A few days ago I was against this but I have a bad feeling and am nervous in the 11th hour.
God help us.
Is that your prayer?
I have a prayer that I have started to pray in 2012. A year that I know I must prepare for....
Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength
And the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me.
Thank you for guiding me straight and true,
Through the many obstacles in my path.
And for keeping me resolute when all around seemed lost.
Thank you for your protection and for your many signs along the way.
Thank you for any good that I may have done.
I’m so sorry about the bad.
Thank you for the friends of the Cause I have made.
Please watch over them as you watched over me.
Thank you for never allowing me to rest.
I’m so very tired, but you give me the strength.
But before I go to my final resting place, help me to fight with all I have.
In the end, please let me be at peace
Knowing that I have done right
with my time on this earth.
Knowing that I fought the good fight.
That I finished the race.
That I kept the faith.
Amen.
Amen dear...Amen!

Standing with all of you in prayer for our nation and for Newt. Lord, may Your will be done and may You be glorified through it all!
I join in earnest prayer for Newt Gingrich and our country!
A favorite of mine:
***********************
Psalm 2
Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying, “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
I will proclaim the LORD’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father. Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
**********************
Some thoughts that are in my mind at this point in America’s history:
God is faithful; all scripture shall be fulfilled. No nation lives forever, but each soul shall. How can it not be a sin to knowingly assist a malevolent man’s ascent to power? How can I mock another man’s repentance, and expect any to respect my own? Do not fear those who can only kill the body, whether they have attained power, or simply lust for it. Our home is not on this earth, or in these bodies.
God is not mocked. Not by any person. Not by any nation.
Sin has consequences, the results will follow.
God Bless Brad’s Gramma for starting this Wonderful Prayer thread. And may God Bless America, again.
