Pray for Our American Heroes and Nation

[Faith]

Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
and there is none upon earth that I desire besides Thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth:
but God is the strength of my heart,
and my portion for ever.
Psalm 73: 25-26

[Faith]

Holy and Righteous God,

It has been a difficult week here on Your good earth. We are discouraged and saddened by what has happened to our nation and we have great concern for our families and America’s children. But it is good for us to set aside our troubles, to forget our heartaches, and to come to Your heavenly throne to worship You. You are the strength of our hearts and our portion forever. Even when our hearts are heavy, You lighten them. Even when hopelessness badgers us, yet You are our Rock, our Fortress, our Refuge, our Sure Defense. Lord God, make us to dwell in the shadow of Your wings where we can hide in the secret place and know that we are safe from all the cares of this world.

We grieve for our nation, Lord, but we must continue to go forward without allowing neither sorrow nor resentment to immobilize us. We pray that You will give us the courage to stand in the midst of this darkness, allowing Your countenance to reflect from our faces and Your boldness to give strength to our hearts. You give us more grace---that which enables us to do what we could not do without You.

We pray for all those who are serving in our military and ask You to give them an extra measure of strength and courage today. We are truly grateful for them, Father, and we ask You to reward them richly for their unselfish defense of their nation and its people, as well as those of other countries. Father, send forth Your mighty angels to surround our military men and women wherever they are. We pray for Your loving support to hold up all of our veterans and to provide all they need. Help us always to show our debt of gratitude toward all who have served.

Lord, we pray Your protection over Israel and Your blessing upon her to continue. We pray that America would once again defend and support her, Father, for we know that You bless those who bless her and curse those who curse her. May the prayers of the saints all over this nation bring blessing to America and to Israel.

Father, this is not a time for us to be weak and ineffective, but to be strong in You and in Your power. You have appointed each one of us for this time and place for Your own special reasons. May we all be willing to fulfill the purposes You have for our lives. We trust in You to lead us and to help us host Your presence upon this earth. We ask with humble hearts, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

◄ 1 Timothy 4:1 ► The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

Not us-- let us pray and seek Him ever more.

Almighty and eternal God, Protect our military as they discharge their duties.
Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep them safe from all evil
and harm.
May the power of your love enable them to return home safely to the people
who love them and to the gratitude of the American people.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

O Lord, Please Guide Our Nation And Give Us Courage
