This is what the LORD says:

“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches,

but let the one who boasts boast about this:

that they have the understanding to know Me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the LORD.

Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NIV)

Heavenly Father –

We thank You, Lord, for preserving our nation through many crises, home and abroad, and times of great distress. Even times of bitter divisions, such as the Civil War and culture wars today that threaten to rip us apart and undermine our Judeo-Christian foundation.

We confess our ungrateful spirit, Lord. So often we live like You don’t exist, only to call on You during disasters.

Yet, You’re rich in mercy and have poured out Your grace upon us, so that that the world wonders:

On this day, December 7th, may we be inspired by FDR’s Speech after the attack on Pearl Harbor, entering us into the worst war in history, World War II:

No matter how long it may take us
to overcome this premeditated invasion,
the American people in their righteous might
will win through to absolute victory.
...
With confidence in our armed forces,
with the unbounding determination of our people,
we will gain the inevitable triumph
— so help us God.

And may we always be mindful not to trust our might, our weapons, our technology, our own cleverness as:

The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
but victory rests with the LORD.
Proverbs 21:31 (NIV)

Today, our spiritual battles are as intense like the ones during World War II, which will take everything we got to fight on many theaters. Yet, only with God’s help, can we overcome the evil one.

We lift up President Trump. Fill him with Your Spirit and Wisdom. Grant him courage, discernment, and strength as he’s relentlessly attacked by the wicked. Deliver him from betrayal and the treachery of the enemy within.

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

Through the power of Your Spirit, may we be revived and with Christ in us, with God’s help, make America great again.

In Jesus Name,
Amen

And this prayer I am led to repeat for us to pray to deal with our domestic enemies:

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.

[hoosiermama]

Onward, Christian Soldiers

sung by Mahalia Jackson

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe
Forward into battle see His banners go

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before

Like a mighty army moves the church of God
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod
We are not divided, all one body we
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before

[Albion Wilde]

Gracious and merciful Father,
May the countless sacrifices of our military troops since 1776 to this day not be in vain.
We give You the glory for the victory to come for Your people in this land that we love.
In Jesus’ holy name,
Amen.

[Silentgypsy]

Amen and thank you.

[Exit148]

A day to remember. Thank You Dear Lord for giving this country the strength to go thru it and to be victorious in the end. The fact that there is EVEN war anywhere is sad.

Please, Dear Lord, bring us all back to You and Your Word.

Amen.
