Pray for our American Heroes
October 31, 2009 | Irish Rose

Posted on 10/31/2009 10:28:36 AM PDT by Irish Rose

For this is what the LORD says—
he who created the heavens,
he is God;
he who fashioned and made the earth,
he founded it;
he did not create it to be empty,
but formed it to be inhabited—
he says:
"I am the LORD,
and there is no other.
I have not spoken in secret,
from somewhere in a land of darkness;
I have not said to Jacob's descendants,
'Seek me in vain.'
I, the LORD, speak the truth;
I declare what is right.”
(Isaiah 45:18-19)

KEYWORDS: america; military; pray
Merciful Lord, to You who hear prayer we come. May our words be pleasing to You.

Father, we lift prayers for our heroes, those who fight for us against a ruthless enemy. We plead for their protection wherever they go, their victory wherever they fight. Lord, please give their leaders wisdom, and deep concern for them.

Father, we pray especially for the corpsmen in our military. We ask that You would give them knowledge and skill to save lives, that You would provide them with the best of equipment and resources. Father, please favor their work and keep them from harm.

Lord, we pray with concern for all Your children who face persecution because of their beliefs. We pray that You would contend for them.

Lord, we know that You speak the truth, that You declare what is right. We thank You that You have spoken to us, that You have called on us to come to You. No one seeks You in vain; in Your compassion You never turn anyone away. Father, we thank You for loving us past all our sins, in the Name of our Savior and great High Priest, Amen.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!





Prayer of St. Ignatius



Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee as Thou deservest;
To give and not to count the cost; to toil
And not to seek for rest; to labor and not to ask
For any reward, save that of knowing that we do Thy will
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.



St. Ignatius Loyola, Patron Saint of Soldiers





Lamh Foistenach Abu!

We ask that You watch over and protect our armed forces, Father, whether they be in Iraq or Indiana, Korea or Kansas. Miles over our heads or deep beneath the waves, we know that You can with them all. Guide them and keep them from harm, as they strive to protect us from danger. We ask this in the Name of Your Son, Jesus.

Amen.

Isn't that an awesome statement?!?

AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!

“I have chosen you out of the world.”
- John 15:19

Here is distinguishing grace and discriminating regard; for some are made
the special objects of divine affection. Do not be afraid to dwell upon
this high doctrine of election. When your mind is most heavy and
depressed, you will find it to be a bottle of richest cordial. Those who
doubt the doctrines of grace, or who cast them into the shade, miss the
richest clusters of Eshcol; they lose the wines on the lees well refined,
the fat things full of marrow. There is no balm in Gilead comparable to
it. If the honey in Jonathan’s wood when but touched enlightened the eyes,
this is honey which will enlighten your heart to love and learn the
mysteries of the kingdom of God. Eat, and fear not a surfeit; live upon
this choice dainty, and fear not that it will be too delicate a diet. Meat
from the King’s table will hurt none of his courtiers. Desire to have your
mind enlarged, that you may comprehend more and more the eternal,
everlasting, discriminating love of God.
When you have mounted as high as election, tarry on its sister mount, the
covenant of grace.
Covenant engagements are the munitions of stupendous rock behind which we
lie entrenched; covenant engagements with the surety, Christ Jesus, are
the quiet resting-places of trembling spirits.

“His oath, his covenant, his blood,
Support me in the raging flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
This still is all my strength and stay.”

If Jesus undertook to bring me to glory, and if the Father promised that
he would give me to the Son to be a part of the infinite reward of the
travail of his soul; then, my soul, till God himself shall be unfaithful,
till Jesus shall cease to be the truth, thou art safe.
When David danced before the ark, he told Michal that election made him
do so.
Come, my soul, exult before the God of grace and leap for joy of heart.

C.H.SPURGEON

SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Dear Father;
We humbly come before You tonight in prayer for all of our military personnel. We ask that every one of them find favor in Your sight. Keep them in Your own special care, and comfort their hearts. Give wisdom to their leaders, and give them courage to defeat a ruthless enemy. Give each one of them the grace to have victory over the enemy of their souls as well.
In Jesus Name.
Amen.

My heartfelt appreciation to all of you for your prayers and fellowship.

Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. (John 14:19)
