Pray for Our American Heroes and Nation
October 15, 2012 | Faith

Posted on 10/15/2012 11:29:26 AM PDT by Faith

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
. . . O Lord our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth! – Psalm 8: 3;9



TOPICS: Culture/Society; Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: faith; nation; pray; troops
Almighty God,

We thank You for the beauty of the earth in these crisp and fascinating autumn days. Your artistry is greatly appreciated as we behold the work of Your fingers in the glowing colors of the trees. How blessed we are that in every season Your beauty shines forth in Your marvelous creation.

Father, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. When times are uncertain and thoughts of the future are unsettling, we will not fear, for You, the Lord of hosts are with us. You, our God of Jacob are our refuge. Help us to be still and know that You are our God. Thank You that You are with us even unto the end of the age.

Bless our country, Lord, and save us from ourselves. Save us from over-spending, over-indulging, and over-occupying ourselves with those things that have no lasting meaning. Release us from addictions to those things that consume our time, our health, and our energy and yet bring no blessing to Your Kingdom. Help us to be fully committed to You, Lord, that we may be a part of America’s recovery and not her downfall.

May Your righteous right hand uphold each one of our troops, Father. Make them Your workmanship and may each of them be willing to do the good works which You have ordained for them. Strengthen each one by might by Your Spirit in their inner beings and help them to be rooted and grounded in Your love. Give them fresh revelations of Your presence, Your grace, Your protection, and Your love for them. Bless all those who wait for their safe return and may America be faithful in prayer for them.

Lord, You are the answer to every problem we have. You are the source of every thing that we need. You are the courage and hope that we require for the future. You are our all in all. Blessed is the Name of the Lord who daily loads us with benefits. In the powerful and gracious Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!



GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON
THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE

"Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod"
William Billings
Mixed District Choir, Fairfax, Virginia
(Click)


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.

In like manner, let our prayers now rise lie 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 keep 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.




SHADOWS AT ARLINGTON
God Of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand
Morman Tabernacle Choir
(Click)


Heavenly Father, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these brave 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.








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)
