This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (I John 5:14)

Heavenly Father,
There is none like You. Great are You, Lord, and worthy of glory. We speak of the blessed honor of Your majesty, and of Your wondrous works. May we always utter the memory of Your great goodness, and sing of Your righteousness. For You are gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. You are good to all; and Your tender mercies are over all that You have made.
Father, we need Your help, for we confess that America must repent of its moral depravity. We are delving deeper and deeper into the pit, and You are the only way out. Help us to turn from our evil ways, Lord. Repentance must start with each one of us. As individuals, help us to hold ourselves to the highest standard---that of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Help us to share the love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness of our Savior with others. Help us to remember the Cross always. Father, You have promised to preserve all who love You. Help us to speak the praise of our Savior, and let all flesh bless Your Holy Name forever and ever. Call the people of this nation to bow before You and may our mouths confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Holy Lord, we know that the help of our military comes from You. We confess that You keep our troops and that You are their shade upon their right hand. You preserve them from all evil, whether they are going out or coming in. Even forevermore, You care for them. Lord, may respect be shown by all Americans for our military, our police, our fire fighters, and all those who protect us. May we hold dear that which unites us as Americans and that which symbolizes our common bond of allegiance.
Your Word tells us that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Help us to be that nation, Father. We pray for our President to continue to be strong and to stand for truth and liberty in America. We ask You to give him supernatural courage, wisdom, boldness, and perseverance in this battle for the heart and soul of this nation. Thank You for our President’s support of Israel and his understanding of Your promise to bless those who bless her.
Save us from this present evil day, Lord God. We wait for You, Lord. Our souls wait, and in Your Word do we hope. Let all of Israel hope in the Lord from now and evermore. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Psalm 5
To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
[1] Give ear to my words, O LORD;
give heed to my groaning.
[2] Hearken to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to thee do I pray.
[3] O LORD, in the morning thou dost hear my voice;
in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee, and watch.
[4] For thou art not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil may not sojourn with thee.
[5] The boastful may not stand before thy eyes;
thou hatest all evildoers.
[6] Thou destroyest those who speak lies;
the LORD abhors bloodthirsty and deceitful men.
[7] But I through the abundance of thy steadfast love
will enter thy house,
I will worship toward thy holy temple
in the fear of thee.
[8] Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness
because of my enemies;
make thy way straight before me.
[9] For there is no truth in their mouth;
their heart is destruction,
their throat is an open sepulchre,
they flatter with their tongue.
[10] Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of their many transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against thee.
[11] But let all who take refuge in thee rejoice,
let them ever sing for joy;
and do thou defend them,
that those who love thy name may exult in thee.
[12] For thou dost bless the righteous, O LORD;
thou dost cover him with favor as with a shield.
Amen!!!

The Extensive Consequences of Walking by Faith
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. (Hebrews 11:1-3)
In order to live by grace, we must be willing to walk by faith. For those who actually depend upon the Lord day by day (thereby accessing His grace), the Scriptures regularly proclaim the extensive consequences of walking by faith.
First, let’s consider the significant characteristics of faith. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for.” Faith is the assuring confirmation of the wonderful things that we anticipate God will do. As our faith grows in the promises and purposes of God, that faith brings us more substantiation of the certainty of God’s heavenly plans. Also, faith is “the evidence of things not seen.” Faith brings us verification of realities the human senses cannot observe. Faith convinces us of the absolute existence of God and His angels, Adam and Eve, the devil and demons, heaven and hell, and the prophets and apostles of old.
Next, let’s consider some of the living results of faith. “For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.” By faith men and women of generations past established a godly witness concerning their relationship with the Lord: “By faith Abel…By faith Enoch…By faith Noah…By faith Abraham…By faith Sarah…By faith Isaac…By faith Jacob…By faith Joseph…By faith Moses…By faith the harlot Rahab… [and others]” (Hebrews 11:4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, 31). Their testimonies were exceedingly diverse. Yet, the common elements were their trust in the Lord and the glory such faith brought to His name.
Last, let’s consider some of the spiritual understanding of faith. “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” God has shaped the heart of all humanity so that the observation of creation guarantees a universal conviction of Himself as Creator. “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead” (Romans 1:20). His holy Scriptures then explain how He created all visible things. “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth” (Psalm 33:6).
Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Creator of heaven and earth, I bow before You in faith. I rejoice in the assurances, convictions, and understandings of faith. I have a deep desire to obtain a good testimony through faith in You, for Your honor and glory, Amen.
Amen
Joining with you all in prayer, praise and thanksgiving!

FATHER GOD, You have set the boundaries of the nations. Come to our rescue! America is being invaded and besieged by other nations! Place an invisible shield over our borders. Seal us from our enemies and illegal aliens. In JESUS' Name we pray. Amen
Thank you!
