We are seeing our “ancient foe” hard at work with craft, power and cruel hate in our country as a whole and now in this election. God can fell the Prince of Darkness with one word and to God we pray .... Lord have mercy, hear our prayer. Help us, give us strength to fight and win against the devils that threaten to undo us for we can not do this on our own. We need You in our country and in our lives and we humbly ask You to continue blessing America, as You have since its founding, that we may continue to serve You; through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen.
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
1. A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he amid the flood
of mortal ills prevaling.
For still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
2. Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth, his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.
3. And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed
his truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo, his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.
4. That word above all earthly powers,
no thanks to them, abideth;
the Spirit and the gifts are ours,
thru him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill;
God’s truth abideth still;
his kingdom is forever.
You alone in the garden while others slept between my evening prayers and morning prayers?
Familiar scenario.
LORD, forgive us our ignor-ance. So soon we abandon you.
