AMERICA Prayer Vigil - (12/21/2018) [Prayer]
Free Republic ^ | 21 December 2018 | NEWwoman

Posted on 12/20/2018 9:02:07 PM PST by NEWwoman

The “Donald Trump/Mike Pence Prayer Vigil” and “Heroes and Nation Prayer Thread” have combined to form the AMERICA PRAYER VIGIL prayer thread!

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for our President and Vice President and for AMERICA: Government, Family, Military, Business, Education, Churches, and the Media.

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

Religion Forum threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.

A quick trip through the USA during the turbulent 1968

Yet man is born to trouble
as surely as sparks fly upward.

We are bringing you Good News,
telling you to turn from these worthless things
to the living God,
who made the heavens and the earth
and the sea and everything in them.

Acts 14:15 (NIV)

Apollo 8 Genesis Reading – Christmas Eve 1968

----

------------------------------

Heavenly Father –

As 2018 nears an end, we thank You, Lord, for preserving our nation so far.

Looking back 50 years to 1968, America was fractured on many fronts: the televised Vietnam War, the unpopular draft, assassinations of MLK and RFK, the rise of the counter-culture, unrest, protests, violence. Questioning the very foundations of our nation.

Actor Emilio Estevez commented on the spirit of the times:

You look at 1968
and it was truly the year
that shook the world.
The world was really completely upside down.

It seems more so today. The foundations of America’s house are being torn down—brick by brick—and replaced by a house of straw on a sand foundation.

In any age, Moses reminds us of our short time on this earth:

Our days may come to seventy years,
or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away

Psalm 90:10 (NIV)

Yet, at the end of 1968, many in the world looked up—into the heavens—as astronauts orbiting the moon read from Holy Scripture:

In the beginning God….

Our Creator God put us on the earth for His glory. His purposes for us and all creation will not be thwarted. With this confidence, we pray for America to become a blessing to the world through the grace of God.

For 2019, we lift up President Trump. Fill him with Your Spirit and Wisdom. Grant him courage, discernment, and strength as he’s relentlessly attacked on all fronts. Deliver him from betrayal and the treachery by the soft coup of the enemy within.

Protect our brave men and women at our borders. Equip them to protect our country. Frustrate the hypocrites who subvert our immigration process to the harm of our people.

Through the power of Your Spirit, may God’s people be revived and ignite another Great Awakening among We, the People.

In Jesus Name,
Amen

-----------

Give thanks to the LORD,
for He is good;
His love endures forever.

Psalm 118:1 (NIV)

Keep praying for America

-----------

This Is My Father's World - with Lyrics

This is my Father’s world:
Oh, let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.

This is my Father’s world,
The battle is not done:
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.

Keep praying for America

Amen!!!!!!

And this prayer I am led to repeat for us to pray to deal with our domestic enemies. Bring them down like the walls of Jericho:

Psalm 94

[1] O LORD, thou God of vengeance,
thou God of vengeance, shine forth!
[2] Rise up, O judge of the earth;
render to the proud their deserts!
[3] O LORD, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?
[4] They pour out their arrogant words,
they boast, all the evildoers.
[5] They crush thy people, O LORD,
and afflict thy heritage.
[6] They slay the widow and the sojourner,
and murder the fatherless;
[7] and they say, “The LORD does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
[8] Understand, O dullest of the people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
[9] He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
[10] He who chastens the nations, does he not chastise?
He who teaches men knowledge,
[11] the LORD, knows the thoughts of man,
that they are but a breath.
[12] Blessed is the man whom thou dost chasten, O LORD,
and whom thou dost teach out of thy law
[13] to give him respite from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
[14] For the LORD will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
[15] for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
[16] Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
[17] If the LORD had not been my help,
my soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.
[18] When I thought, “My foot slips,”
thy steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.
[19] When the cares of my heart are many,
thy consolations cheer my soul.
[20] Can wicked rulers be allied with thee,
who frame mischief by statute?
[21] They band together against the life of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent to death.
[22] But the LORD has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
[23] He will bring back on them their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the LORD our God will wipe them out.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

Gen. George Washington and his Troops Marching To Valley Forge
December 1777




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 his prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His Manifold Blessings upon the new Nation.


Lafayette

Steuben

Pulaski

FROM THE BRAVE, albeit weary, ill-equipped, and untrained volunteers who marched into Valley Forge on 19 December 1777 arose, with the help of some gallant friends from across the waves, the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, global defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants.



AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high in that bleak Winter, 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 gather 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.

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.

AMEN to your beautiful prayer.

Lord, we do remember the turbulent’60’s, but at the same time Your Spirit began a movemt that moved from the West Coast and spread across this Nation and eventually other nations. Father I thank You for 1968 and Your salvation that came to me through the Jesus People Movement. There was a great awakening at that time and I witnessed how Your Spirit moved among us. I was transformed from a hippie on the Sunset Strip to a Bible carrying Jesus Freak being fed from a tent in Costa Mesa and having the boldness to spread the gospel on college campus.
Father, I long to see Your Spirit move once more in awakening our youth. Send Your Messengers to light the Fire. Bring the spark that will ignite the hearts of our people.
Awaken us from the devil’s slumber.
In Jesus name amen.

God forgive me as I know I am a sinner seeking to walk in your grace and I am truly humbled by the actions of your son and my savior Jesus Christ as he garnered the path for us to reconcile with you . I pray today that you continue to bless and protect our President Donald J. Trump and all who support him as he tries to steer our republic back to a God fearing and loving nation rather than the chaotic vicious and Godless mess the dem’s AND rino’s seek . Please God I love this land which you have allowed me to exist on . A land that has protected , educated and provided for me all of these 57 years with abundance and love . I pray that future generations will walk in your light and realize the splendor and love you generate with a thought and spoken word . I love you and understand that I need to be vigilant against satan everyday so that I will be a positive contributor to you and the society I reside in . It is beyond measure the joy you show me daily , please touch the hardened hearts so that America can spread your word and see the enemies both within and abroad who do not exault you . Thank you for loving me God , Jesus and the helper .

Awesome post.

Praise God! Thank You, Lord, that You have put it into President Trump’s heart and actions to bring the troops home from Syria and Afghanistan. Thank You, Lord, that they will be back in this hemisphere. Blessings and protection to all who serve. We ask for travelling mercies on their way home. Lord, we ask for travelling mercies for all those who are travelling this season. We thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, and in His name we do pray.

What a beautiful prayer and presentation, dear NEWwoman! That was the year the nation turned against God vehemently. We are still suffering from the actions of the drug-crazed youth, marxist intellectuals and anti-Christian media whose heyday had arrived that year.

Dearest Lord, have mercy on us Christians in exile in the land our pilgrim settlers and founders dedicated to You. Restore in us a confident society of believers who are capable and worthy of self-government through personal responsibility and Bible-based virtue, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

ConorMacNessa, what a wonderful essay of our great military.

I pray today that our President finds a worthy successor to James Mattis; one who will lead with humility towards Almighty God as George Washington did. In Jesus’ name, amen.
