Pray For Our American Heroes and Our Nation Armed Forces Day - May 18, 2013
Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me.
Take up shield and armor;
arise and come to my aid.
Brandish spear and javelin
against those who pursue me.
Say to me,
I am your salvation.
Psalm 35:1-3 (NIV)

Fight the good fight of the faith.
Take hold of the eternal life
to which you were called
when you made your good confession
in the presence of many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12 (NIV)
May 18, 2013 is Armed Forces Day
May we thank our heroes, who serve and sacrifice to keep us safe, home and abroad.
May we never forget them and be inspired by them
like Audie Murphy
who, as the least likely of young recruits,
became the most decorated US combat soldier of World War II.

------------------------------
Heavenly Father As Armed Forces Day approaches, may we continued to pray for our heroes past, present, and those yet to come and not forget their sacrifices, many who have paid the ultimate price by giving their lives. May we appreciate their commitment to their duty as they put themselves in harms way to preserve our way of life, especially the freedom to worship You and do the right thing.
May we remember our past to draw courage to meet todays daunting challenges. One such story, Audie Murphys story resonates as an underdog, who came from humble beginnings. Born during difficult economic times and into a tragic family situation, Audie Murphy possessed no obvious greatness from outside appearances. Yet, this young man was used mightily during World War II as he demonstrated heroics on the battlefield beyond anyones imagination.
Likewise, when dedicated to a just cause and guided by Your Providence, many soldiers many unsung have risen to face formidable foes, overcome terrible odds, and performed extraordinary feats of valor.
We ask, Father, that Your grace will continue to equip men and women to serve not only as warriors in our armed forces, but also as spiritual warriors as well, where the most critical of battles are fought. With the power of the Holy Spirit, may all those who call upon Your Name fight for the soul of our nation - to preserve our spiritual inheritance for the coming generations yet to be born.
Keep all Your servants in your special care.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Keep praying for America

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!
GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE "Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod" William Billings Mixed District Choir, Fairfax, Virginia (Click)
IN THE COLDEST and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered those prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His manifold benefits upon the new Nation. From the brave, untrained volunteers who strode into Valley Forge that Winter arose the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, world-wide defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants
AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high, let our prayers now rise like a fountain for our Heroes in the American Armed Forces who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and envelop them in the shelter of Your Healing Wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.
SHADOWS AT ARLINGTON God Of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand Morman Tabernacle Choir (Click)
HEAVENLY FATHER, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these valiant men and women who have fallen in the service of our Beloved Nation and in defense of the Freedoms we hold dear. We pray that You gather them in Your loving embrace, that You cause Your Countenance to shine upon them, and that You vouchsafe their souls to dwell eternally in Your Divine Presence. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
