Dearest Lord Jesus, we thank You for Your Presence on the troop-supporting rally in D.C. yesterday. From one of your daughters I received good report by phone that there was an atmosphere of peaceful confidence on the day - no anger, no bitterness, just people pleased to band together, fully understanding why they were there. Lord God You answered all our prayers. You brought people who operated in the fruits of Your Spirit - standing strong and firm and bold, but with a spirit of gentleness in the quiet confidence that they were on the side of Your right.

Lord God, You blessed us with beautiful weather and we thank you. Our spiritual adversary could cause there to be a forecast for bad weather, but in the end, Your power is Supreme and You brought the weather You ordained.

Lord God, You caused there to be little or no opposition to this rally. Where the opposition sought unity, You caused there to be division amongst them. So much talk ahead of time of planned great, large demonstrations to be held in so many places and yet much of it amounted to little or nothing - there was no massiveness, no huge show of strength for the anti-war movement. We prayed, we showed a willingness to stand up locally where You might call, Your power moved to ensure what they threatened simply did not come to pass.

You are Sovereign! You are the one true God! Nothing and no one thwarts Your purposes! Oh, Mighty Warrior King, it is awesome how You work, bringing grand plans of the opposition to nought!

We thank You, dear Father God. We give You all the credit. We thank You for hearing our prayers and then answering them perfectly.

We wait now in joyful hope to see what You will do next. We remember to You other planned actions to rally to support our troops (for instance one scheduled in Berkeley for next Saturday - Holy Saturday, the ongoing FReeps in various places including Walter Reed on Friday nights and Olney on Saturday mornings; and the efforts to rally to support General Petraeus in early April.) We remember all these to You and ask You to continue to do the work according to Your promises and let not our troops be shamed or defamed any longer.

Be with our wounded and give them purpose in their recuperation which keeps them focused on the future and not in the pit which today can be. Be with our troops fighting valiantly overseas so we can enjoy this peaceful spring at home. Be with their families and be with the families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice...We know You love them and count on You showing Your love to them in a way that they feel Your touch.

Be with our President this day. Give him Your Wisdom as he walks out the last months of his presidency. Surroud all involved in the upcoming election. Guide and direct ALL that is happening so that Your candidate is elected (because that is the only candidate we desire).

We trust in You and put all our hope in Your unfailing love. Thank you for Free Republic and for Jim Robinson’s obedience in beginning and maintaining this forum where we have the freedom to gather in Your name, In Jesus’ mighty Name, Amen.

God bless America. God bless our troops. God bless those who support them.
