Heavenly Father, Awesome Lord, Beautiful Savior,
In this week when we commemorate Your Passion, we are reminded once again how unfathomable Your love is for us. You ruled from heaven, You had no need to do anything and yet You gave up everything for love of us. Lord God, You amaze us and we bow before Your throne in reverential awe, unable to truly grasp all that You are and the depths of Your love for us.
Lord God, there has always been a war of good versus evil and there always will be. Evil will always seek to gain dominion and to “dominate” for its own gain. Evil does not desire freedom and dignity for the individual, but power for self.

Lord God, the price to retain freedom has always been to fight for it - both by prayer and worship in the supernatural and physical battles in the natural. As long as earth exists, this will never change because evil will always seek more - even if good says “let’s make peace - everybody stay on their own side of the line”. And so, every generation before has fought to preserve our freedoms in this country and to help others push back darkness as well. There is a generation which has been risen up to fight for us now and there are several generations who You are rising up to stand up at home for those who fight for us overseas. God, bless those who fight for us overseas and bless those who stand up for them here at home. We especially ask You to be with all those who stand up to support our recruiting offices. Lord the numbers don’t matter, the spirit of the effort does. Call those to stand up whom You have fore-ordained. Surround them with Your shields of protection. In places like L.A. where groups like Code Pink have broadcast a desire to have many come and de-fame our veteran’s outside the cemetery where they are buried, we ask You to keep them from coming in any great number. Let everything they seek be less. Let traffic hinder them, errands and work which runs longer, family needs keep them away. Let what they have purposed come to nought unless it is by Your will.....We TRUST in You God, that what You send to support our dear troops will be exactly enough. And we thank You for all those who are standing up - Free Republic, Patriot Guard Rider, Gathering of Eagles, EAgles UP (to name only a FEW). God bless them all. Be a shield around them. Give them safe passage, and self-control from You. CAuse them to be different, acting with decorum and respect as they stand up for what is right in Berkeley this weekend and everywhere else.

We dream of large numbers, and ask You to send them. But YOU know what is needed.

Lord God, give the media eyes to see that the public is behind our troops. Give the media a heart to cover the true story, which is that this is not Vietnam and the anti-war movement is dead. Yes, Lord, let this be the story.

Continue to re=build our country on YOUR principles one step at a time. If You show us the work to be done, we commit to worship, to pray, to seek Your strategy and then to walk out the work.

Be with our troops on the battle fields and with their families.

Thank You for being a God who HEARS our prayers. The battle is Yours, Lord and it is already won. We thank You for EASTER - RESURRECTION DAY, for all our purposes are bound up in this. In Jesus’ mighty and precious Name, Amen

(pleae forgive any typos....have to rush out and wanted to pray before I did....God bless you all!!!)
