Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love:
therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.
Jeremiah 31: 3

Holy God,

Everlasting is a long time. So many things we encounter are temporal: there are beginnings and endings; and yet You offer us something priceless that is eternal. Your love never fails, Lord. We cannot earn it; neither have You asked us to do so. You freely give. You are our amazing God. Thank You for drawing us to You through Your loving-kindness and tender mercies. We exalt You and bless Your Name.

Father, we know it is not Your will that any should perish but that all may come to repentance. We pray that our military men and women would not only be protected physically, but that they also would be drawn spiritually to You through the power of the Holy Spirit. We ask You to place people of faith in the paths of each one and that each would have many opportunities to hear of You and learn about You. Father, may their years of service be years in which they seek You and find You.

Lord, our nation continues to be in danger both physically and spiritually. Each of us has a responsibility to defend that which You have taught and to live lives that honor You no matter what the culture is speaking. Help us, Lord, to seek a higher level of life and victory through You. It is so easy to sink to the lure of worldliness. Help us to remember that we are citizens of heaven and not of this world. Lord, keep us strong and faithful until the day of Christ’s return. We ask this in the powerful Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

Gen. George Washington and his Troops Marching To Valley Forge
December 1775




GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON
THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE

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

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.
