[it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior, Who wishes all men to be saved and [increasingly] to perceive and recognize and discern and know precisely and correctly the [divine] Truth.
If You could save us, we know You can save anyone. Therefore, in confidence and boldness before You, we pray for those in authority in our Nation in every position from dog catcher to President. But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.Let this time be now! Not by our worthiness, but by the authority given to us through Jesus shed blood we ask this.
Protect and defend our military men and women no matter where they are serving us. Give them Your supernatural vision and wisdom to understand how to be people of skill and humility. God of peace, sanctify them through and through [separate them from profane things, make them pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may their spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
You will guard us and keep us in perfect and constant peace because we determine to keep our minds [both its inclination and its character] stayed on You, because we commit ourselves to You, lean on You, and hope confidently in You. Amen.
Please pray with me today to our faithful God for our military and our Nation.
Amen! Thanks Hiskid.
Charles Whittlesey was a heros hero. Leader of the so-called Lost Battalion in World War I, he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery when his unit was trapped behind enemy lines. When the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was dedicated, Charles was chosen to serve as pallbearer for the first soldier laid to rest there. Two weeks later, it is presumed that he ended his own life by stepping off a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean.
Like Elijah (1 Kings 19:1-7), Charles was publicly strong, but in the quiet, post-public moments, his feelings of despair set in. People today frequently face situations bigger than they can handle. Sometimes its temporary despair brought on by fatigue, as in Elijahs case. He had been part of a great victory over the prophets of Baal (18:20-40), but then he feared for his life and ran into the wilderness (19:1-3). But often, its more than despair and its more than temporary. Thats why it is imperative that we talk about depression openly and compassionately.
God offers His presence to us in lifes darkest moments, which enables us, in turn, to be His presence to the hurting. Crying out for helpfrom others and from Godmay be the strongest moment of our lives.
