Pray for Our American Heroes and Nation

Heavenly Father,

Surely You are the spiritual model for all earthly fathers. On this day when we honor our fathers, we ask You to help us to honor You first with our lives. You are perfect, Father God. Though our earthly fathers may fail us, yet You never leave us nor forsake us. You love Your children so completely, so eternally, and so much more than we can imagine or think. Thank You, Abba Father, for being more than enough for us all.

Lord, we ask You to bless fathers this day with the desire to be the spiritual leaders of their households. We pray that they would rise up and be the Godly compass for their families---showing them the ways of righteousness. May they provoke not their children, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. And may they love their wives as Christ has loved the Church and has given Himself for it.

Father, we commit our military men and women to You in these times that grow more troubled by the day. Comfort the families of those away from home. Strengthen those who are headed for deployment. Lord, our hearts go out to these brave young people. We know that You will care for them and that Your shield and banner will go before them.

Lord, we need strong fathers in order to have Godly families. May the men of this nation rise up and follow You as they seek to lead their children. And may Your Name be glorified in our lives both now and evermore. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Please join us in prayer.

Remembering my beloved Dad on this day, and joining you in prayer for our nation.

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

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.

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.

Adding my prayers. God bless.

Prayers up!

Amen.

Amen, Faith. Just thinking that the love of their children might cause our Fathers to rise up and do all that this Nation needs to be done.
