Pray for Our American Heroes and Nation

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities,
in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions,
in distresses for Christ’s sake:
for when I am weak, then am I strong.
II Corinthians 12:10

Holy God,

When we try to do things in our own strength and by our own merits, we fail miserably. Our only success is in the strength and ability that You provide. Even in our infirmities, we can rejoice, for we know that You will use them for our good. Lord, we are so blessed to be able to trust in You in all things, for You are ever faithful.

Father, we thank You for the celebrations we have been able to enjoy as a part of our nation’s birthday. How blessed we are to be Americans. Even with the multitude of problems that our nation is experiencing, we are still grateful to live in this country. We pray, Lord, for Your blessings upon Israel to multiply, even as our government seems to be turning against her. May the prayers of Your people unleash Your highest blessings upon this special nation.

Our hearts are so grateful for the men and women of our military---past, present, and future. Father, equip them for everything they face and help them to draw upon Your mighty strength, relying completely upon You to supply their needs.

Great are You, Lord, and worthy of glory. Great are You, Lord, and worthy of praise. We lift up our hearts to You this special Lord’s Day, and bless our mighty and awesome Savior, Jesus Christ, in Whose Name we pray. Amen.

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"
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 his prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His Manifold Blessings 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 gather 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.

Joining you in prayer for our troops and our nation.

Also Lord please send your blessings and protection to the people of Murrietta (sp?) Ca. as they protest the government.

Frustrate the plans of any who are seeking to do harm against others.

Remove the veil of deceit and scales from the eyes of our people, and reveal the true intent and nature of those who seek to control us for their own selfish and corrupt ends.

Bring us together to stand against them .

Grant us courage and unite us as we have never been united before for the praise and glory of your name.

Help us to restore our nation to one that proclaims you our king and seeks to be pleasing to you-Your will be done- Amen.
