Then said one unto Him,
Lord, are there few that be saved?
And He said unto them,
Strive to enter in at the strait gate;
for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in,
and shall not be able.
Luke 13: 24-25

Mighty God,
Blessed is Your Holy and Awesome Name! When we pause to consider that we have access to the God of the universe---the God of all Creation---the One, True God of all time---then Lord, how can we even comprehend so great a privilege? How can we neglect to take part in such an amazing opportunity? Lord, let us speak to You and hear from You throughout the day, that You may guide us and remind us of Whose we are.
We pray for our precious heroes in our military ranks today, asking that You place people in each of their lives who will help them find the straight and narrow Gate through salvation. Help them to find the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Lord, and then help them to lead others to You as well. Father, make their time of service one of great blessing even in the midst of sacrifice; of great growth even in the midst of many limits. Protect their families who miss them, and help them to wait in faith and in patience. Lord, we thank You for these who are willing to lay down their lives in protection of their fellow man.
Father, we all play a role in this nation----either for good or for evil. Help us to contribute to bringing America back to You, and let our efforts begin with ourselves as we submit to Your Will and Your direction for our lives. Give us the desire to please You alone, and then all the desires of our hearts will be brought to their proper place. We love You and need You. In the Name of Jesus Christ we pray, 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 1777 |
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.

Steuben |

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.

The Wrong Horseshoe
July 24, 2016
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil.
Psalm 34:1213
Napoleon's defeat in Russia 200 years ago was attributed to the harsh Russian winter. One specific problem was that his horses were wearing summer horseshoes. When winter came, these horses died because they slipped on icy roads as they pulled the supply wagons. The failure of Napoleons supply chain reduced his 400,000-strong army to just 10,000. A small slip; a disastrous result!
James described how a slip of the tongue can do great damage. One wrong word can change the careers or destinies of people. So toxic is the tongue that James wrote, No human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison (James 3:8). The problem has increased in our modern world as a careless email or a posting on a social media site can cause great harm. It quickly goes viral and cant always be retracted.
King David tied respect for the Lord with the way we use our words. He wrote, I will teach you the fear of the Lord. . . . Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies (Ps. 34:11, 13). He resolved, I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth (39:1). Lord, help us to do the same.
What do James 3:112 and Proverbs 18:18 teach you about a slip of the tongue?
Our words have the power to build up or tear down.
The introduction to Psalm 34 identifies David as the author and describes the circumstances surrounding its writing: Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek . . . . David had just narrowly escaped King Sauls attempt to murder him, and he had fled to the only place he felt was out of Sauls reachthe territory of the Philistines (1 Sam. 21:10-15). After he arrived in Gath, Davids life was again threatened. He only escaped King Achish (Abimelek or Abimelech was a general title for Philistine kings) by pretending to be insane. This is the context from which David begins Psalm 34: I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
