Pray for our American Heroes and Nation

Marvelous Father God, how we adore You! You are our hiding place. In You is truth and righteousness. We are so blessed to just know this and this alone, and yet You open the mysteries of Your Kingdom to Your children. There is no end to Your goodness, wisdom and power.

As we set our attention to our Nation, we cannot but plead for Your intervention. With Your aching heart, we want our people to join us in Heaven and to enjoy the blessings of Your Kingdom before they get there. Without You we can do nothing but watch the decline and see our fellow citizens march to an endless blackness of suffering and pain. Out of Your grace and goodness, help us stop this!

We ask You, Sir, for wisdom to prevail—from our leaders and for servants in ministry. Let Your children rise in favor with open doors of utterance to a people whose hearts are open. Out of Your very Word, we are asking for people who meet these qualifications:
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is early, sensual, devilish.For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.(James 3:13-17)

Be a Protector and Defender to our beloved military men and women. Provide all that is necessary for life and godliness with that peace that passes understanding.

Holy are You and perfect in all Your ways. We have come to You in faith and in the name of Jesus Christ. We agree together, saying “Amen”. Come, Lord Jesus.

Please pray for our American Heroes and Nation.

Praying Your heartfelt and Scriptural Prayer with you!

Praying with you.

Anchors In The Storm
May 21, 2014

Read: Joshua 1:1-9

The Lord your God is with you wherever you go. —Joshua 1:9

Bible in a Year:
1 Chronicles 13-15; John 7:1-27

When Matt and Jessica tried to navigate their sailboat into a Florida inlet during Hurricane Sandy, the craft ran aground. As the waves crashed around them, they quickly dropped anchor. It held the sailboat in place until they could be rescued. They said that if they had not put down the anchor, “We would have lost our boat for sure.” Without the anchor, the relentless waves would have smashed the vessel onto the shore.

We need anchors that hold us secure in our spiritual lives as well. When God called Joshua to lead His people after Moses’ death, He gave him anchors of promise he could rely on in troubled times. The Lord said to him, “I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. . . . The Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Josh. 1:5,9). God also gave Joshua and His people the “Book of the Law” to study and observe (vv.7-8). That, and God’s presence, were anchors the Israelites could rely on as they faced many challenges.

When we’re in the middle of suffering or when doubts start threatening our faith, what are our anchors? We could start with Joshua 1:5. Although our faith may feel weak, if it’s anchored in God’s promises and presence, He will safely hold us.

We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love. —Owens

When we feel the stress of the storm we learn the strength of the anchor.

Insight

In today’s reading, God encourages Joshua who has recently replaced his predecessor, Moses. God’s past faithfulness to Moses must have brought great comfort to Joshua: “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you” (v.5). For us as well, God’s faithfulness in the past brings courage for the future.

Amen, Hiskid

Lifting up our beloved America - may our hearts break so revival will break out.

Lifting up our heroes - our vets - as scandals come to light.

Lifting up the Marine in captivity in Mexico - may he be delivered.

Amen

Oh...so very Amen to this prayer. Thank you Hiskid.

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"

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.

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 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.

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)

I join in prayer for our heroes and nation!

Amen.
