Psalm 28 The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield
28:1 To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.
Lord your sons and daughters thank You for this very moment we have the breath to lift our prayers to the Foot of the Throne.
2 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
Father we plead for Your mercy for this nation and Your adopted people.
3 Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts.
Lord separate your adopted unto the Gospel; make real the Good news of Your Kingdom to us, so that we may live in the eternality of our Heavenly citizenship.
4 Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.
We pray all workers of iniquity, both here and in foreign lands receive Your harsh judgment for their vile works.
5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and build them up no more.
We ascribe to the Lord all the glory for His majestic works and we pray for the destruction of man centered kingdoms.
6 Blessed be the Lord! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
Praise the Lord for our inheritance, for our freedom to cast supplication to the One True God.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.
We pray for Your Grace given strength, patience, courage and wisdom for this nation and the defenders of our freedoms.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
We pray that all Christian patriots live in the reality that You are totally Sovereign and that no works of Your Hands will be thwarted by the lies of the evil one or his spawn.
9 Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
Father Bless our inheritance, make us a people of Your Word, guide the thoughts and intents of our hearts and bless this nation.
Soli Deo Gloria!
Please join in Prayer for our American Heroes and our Nation!

LORD, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me,
God will not deliver him.
But you, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
I call out to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side.
Arise, LORD!
Deliver me, my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.
From the LORD comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.
LORD Teach us to trust You today in the midst of the storms we are facing; We look to You and You alone for the protection of your people who call on Your Name.
Open the eyes of those that are blinded to Your Truth and may we see a real revival and a turning back to You and Your Word...in Jesus' Name...

Golda Meir knew both struggle and success during her life. As prime minister of Israel, she experienced many episodes of conflict and loss, as well as the periodic joy of successes and victory in the life of the fledgling State of Israel. She said of joy and sorrow, Those who dont know how to weep with their whole heart, dont know how to laugh either.
The apostle Paul called us to a life of both weeping and rejoicingbut with a twist. In Romans 12:15, the apostle challenged us to look outside our own experiences to the needs of others. He said, Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
If we rejoice only in our own victories, we miss the wonder of celebrating the power of the Lord, who desires to accomplish His purposes in and through others as well. If we mourn only our own losses, we lose the opportunity to be there for those who are hurting by showing them compassion.
Life is filled with the extremes of joy and sorrow, victory and defeat. But we have been given the privilege of entering into those moments in peoples lives to see the grace of God at work. Dont miss it!
Amen.
Amen..Joining with you in prayer for our Heroes and our Nation.
