All these I will bring to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Thus says the Lord God, Who gathers the outcasts of Israel: I will gather yet others to [Israel] besides those already gathered. (Is. 56:7,8)
A quote by Debbie Lee, Gold Star Mom: “Real courage was what our troops — my heroes — face everyday. Real courage is being willing to give up your right to every thing you want for your future, your memories from your past, and even, if need be, your life to make a better place for others. Real courage is facing the enemy and being willing to pay the ultimate price because you value others lives more important than your own. Real courage is using your voice, your actions, your life, to impact the world and make a difference. Real courage is selfless, noble, true, humble, right, and honorable.”
And so, Father, we are grateful for the courage of each member of our military. Honor their courage by protecting them, keeping them, causing them to be fruitful and victorious and providing whatever tools they need to be a success. Thank You for calling them, equipping them and protecting them.
We also pray for Debbie Lee. Help her, Sir, to succeed in bringing the need for honor of our troops to public attention. She gives You the glory for her mission. Strengthen and encourage her in her undertaking, showing her how to accomplish this task. Give her the financial and human resources she needs and grant her favor with our people and the media. Give her time to spend with You and complete comfort and restoration from the death of her son in Iraq. Surround her and infuse her with Your grace.
We pray today in the name of Jesus and give You the glory and praise. Amen.

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me.”
- John 6:37
This declaration involves the doctrine of election: there are some whom
the Father gave to Christ. It involves the doctrine of effectual calling:
these who are given must and shall come; however stoutly they may set
themselves against it, yet they shall be brought out of darkness into
God’s marvellous light. It teaches us the indispensable necessity of
faith; for even those who are given to Christ are not saved except they
come to Jesus.
Even they must come, for there is no other way to heaven but by the door,
Christ Jesus.
All that the Father gives to our Redeemer must come to him, therefore
none can come to heaven except they come to Christ.
Oh! the power and majesty which rest in the words “shall come.” He does
not say they have power to come, nor they may come if they will, but they
“shall come.” The Lord Jesus doth by his messengers, his word, and his
Spirit, sweetly and graciously compel men to come in that they may eat of
his marriage supper; and this he does, not by any violation of the free
agency of man, but by the power of his grace. I may exercise power over
another man’s will, and yet that other man’s will may be perfectly free,
because the constraint is exercised in a manner accordant with the laws of
the human mind.
Jehovah Jesus knows how, by irresistible arguments addressed to the
understanding, by mighty reasons appealing to the affections, and by the
mysterious influence of his Holy Spirit operating upon all the powers and
passions of the soul, so to subdue the whole man, that whereas he was once
rebellious, he yields cheerfully to his government, subdued by sovereign
love.
But how shall those be known whom God hath chosen? By this result: that
they do willingly and joyfully accept Christ, and come to him with simple
and unfeigned faith, resting upon him as all their salvation and all their
desire.
Reader, have you thus come to Jesus?
