Pray for our American Heroes
July 4, 2009 | Irish Rose

Posted on 07/04/2009 9:50:18 AM PDT by Irish Rose

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
(Psalm 62:5-7)

KEYWORDS: america; military; pray
Father in Heaven, we come to You this day in the Name and through the blood of Your Son. Hear us, Lord, and guide us as we pray.

Father, we pray for every serviceman You have given us. We pray that Your favor would be with them, to protect their lives and grant them success. May Your Word, Lord, increase and spread among them, that they may know Your love and Your salvation. Father, we remember especially the soldier who was reported missing in Afghanistan; please be with him now, and deliver him from all danger.

Lord, we thank You today for this nation You have given us - conceived in liberty, and founded on recognition of You as sovereign Creator. You have sent us many heroes, wise leaders and good citizens, and we thank You for them all. Help us now, Lord, that we might not lose what we have been given.

Father, as You have commanded, we pray for all the saints. May Your Spirit reign in our hearts, that we might become like our Master.

Lord, You alone are God, and the Rock of all ages. You are a sure refuge for all who come to You, and there is no other. From You, Lord, is our salvation and all our hope. Your children will forever praise Your strength, Your faithfulness, and Your everlasting love. May all honor, all dominion, and all glory be Yours for eternity, in the Name of our Redeemer, Amen.

Bless our troops, Oh Lord. Please God keep them from harm’s way. Place your ever large umbrella of protection over each and every one. In precious Jesus name, I ask.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!

Dear God, who suffered
torment, agony and death upon the Cross
to free our souls from the chains of iniquity;
protect and defend our troops.
Guide them in the performance of
their Duties.
Strengthen them to endure hardship,
danger, and deprivation in
Your service.
Let their efforts free the people
of Iraq from the chains of terror
and slavery, foster a lasting peace
in the region, and bring all to a
greater share in Your mercy.
Amen.

Rain refreshes the flowers
It brings the earth to bare
When the sun shines bright
After the dewy night
There are blessing everywhere

Bring Your reign to the earth, oh God
It needs You so much now
Let Your Son shine down
On everyone
And claim Your long kept vow

Hearts are parched and arid
A vast wasteland here below
With soil so hard and barren
Resisting the seed You sew

You Son shines on the chosen Ones
The seeds You planted are true
Upon each face
Your saving grace
Reflects the soul of You

Thank You, Lord, for Your blessing
For reigning here in my heart
Your Son came in
Took away my sin
His Spirit will never depart

May God bless you all and this “one nation under God”.

Thank you all for your participation in this thread. May God keep you.

We heard it in Ephrathah, we came upon it in the fields of Jaar: "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool." (Psalm 132:6-7)
