How wonderful knowing your blessings on us and our nation are new every day, surely far beyond what we are deserving of....for this we are grateful... and that you see us through your finished work of Calvary and that of your Resurrection which has brought us from death to life eternal.
...We think now of all those here on FR and their families who have been met with various and difficult happenings of health, loss, heartache and pain as they enter this new year. ....we give these ones to your hands Lord to comfort, encourage and give hope where it might seem difficult to grasp...we ask you reach out to them in ways they will identify as your hand of love and care working on their behalf. ......and we thank you now for what you will do....in your time and for your purposes for them as you do all things well.
We also think of all our military leaders and soldiers on the front lines of battle throughout the world. ..praying for great wisdom for leaders as they make decisions regarding the actions, or refraining from, they must determine in the heat of battles. ....for your hand of protection as soldiers fight against both known and unknown enemies. Grant them your eyes and ears and awaken their senses when it matters most they be aware.....and be their front and rear guard as they move about in areas unknown.
... We give to you our nations Leaders Lord, who are striving against a foe to restore our country anew according to you will and purposes and will for us....lead them and guide their every decision especially when the way is not clear.... Let them see beyond the moment at hand....
Lord, it is an awesome thing that we can come boldly before you , God Almighty, and you grant us listening and loving ears to our concerns and requests. ...my we always be mindful of this great privilege........
In Your Name...the Name of Jesus and no other.. we pray, Amen
