Pray for our American Heroes!

"When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me."

- Psalm 56:9

Lord, with all the grateful joy in our hearts, we, your Elect, come boldly to Your Throne of Grace and cast these supplications.

We ask that You incline Your ear to our exhaustive pleas.

We that are imputed the Righteousness of Your Son ask what no reprobate is able.

Father, the spawn of perdition are desecrating this country formed in Praise of You.

We pray all Christian patriots regain the strength of eagles and cease living defeated, as those of lack faith.

With renewed boldness cast from the mold of Faith and Hope, may all prayers be loud and confidant.

We pray that our troops are cast in Your Holy Hedge of Protection.

We pray that the filthy lies and schemes of the despots will cause them to suffer a excruciating demise, here in the land of the living.

We pray that the fear of our one true God, will disembowel the schemes of the pawns of the evil one.

Lord, we pray that all weak prayer, becomes fervent intercession.

Lord, we pray that all marriages become strong in the faith and promises of Your Word.

Lord, we know that a spiritual revival in this land will only be born from a consuming trust and faith by all Christian Patriots.

In God I Trust

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A Miktam of David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

56:1 Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me;

2 my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly.

3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

5 All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life.

7 For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!

8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?

9 Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me.

10 In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise,

11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 I must perform my vows to you, O God; I will render thank offerings to you.

13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

It is impossible for any human speech to express the full meaning of this delightful phrase, "God is for me." He was "for us" before the worlds were made; he was "for us," or he would not have given his well-beloved son; he was "for us" when he smote the Only-begotten, and laid the full weight of his wrath upon him-he was "for us," though he was against him; he was "for us," when we were ruined in the fall-he loved us notwithstanding all; he was "for us," when we were rebels against him, and with a high hand were bidding him defiance; he was "for us," or he would not have brought us humbly to seek his face. He has been "for us" in many struggles; we have been summoned to encounter hosts of dangers; we have been assailed by temptations from without and within-how could we have remained unharmed to this hour if he had not been "for us"? He is "for us," with all the infinity of his being; with all the omnipotence of his love; with all the infallibility of his wisdom; arrayed in all his divine attributes, he is "for us,"-eternally and immutably "for us"; "for us" when yon blue skies shall be rolled up like a worn out vesture; "for us" throughout eternity. And because he is "for us," the voice of prayer will always ensure his help. "When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies be turned back. " This is no uncertain hope, but a well grounded assurance-"this I know. " I will direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up for the answer, assured that it will come, and that mine enemies shall be defeated, "for God is for me.

" O believer, how happy art thou with the King of kings on thy side! How safe with such a Protector! How sure thy cause pleaded by such an Advocate! If God be for thee, who can be against thee?

C.H.Spurgeon

Soli Deo Gloria!

God Bless America!

Amen, alpha


Almighty and Eternal God, Protect our soldiers as they discharge
their duties. Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep
them safe from all evil and harm.
May the power of your love enable them to return home safely to the
people who love them and to the gratitude of the American people.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

May God Keep Safe All Who Serve Our Country

Grace, Mercy, And Peace
July 20, 2010

The words grace and peace are found in all of Paul’s greetings in his New Testament letters to the churches. And in his letters to Timothy and Titus, he also includes mercy: “Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord” (2 Tim. 1:2). Let’s examine each of these words.

Grace is what our holy God gives that we, as sinful people, don’t deserve. In Acts 17:25, we learn that “He gives to all life, breath, and all things.” His gifts include our very next breath. Even in our darkest hour, strength is given by God so that we can endure.

Mercy is what God withholds that we do deserve. In Lamentations 3:22, we read, “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed.” Even when we’re wayward, God gives time and help for us to turn back to Him.

Peace is what God brings to His people. Jesus said: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you” (John 14:27). Even in the worst of times, we have inner tranquillity because our God is in control.

We can be encouraged that throughout our lives the Lord will give us the grace, mercy, and peace we need to live for Him.

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace. —Flint

God’s grace is immeasurable, His mercy is inexhaustible, His peace is inexpressible.

Read: 2 Timothy 1:1-10

Bless the Lord, . . . who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies. —Psalm 103:1,4
Bible in a year:
Psalms 26–28 & Acts 22

Thank You, Lord, for this “one Nation, under God”. Let us honor You once again through this trial. May our hearts unite as we fight this fight for Freedom from slavery and tyranny.

Bless all of those at the forefront of this battle. Honor them and support their every effort.

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND NATION!





GEORGE WASHINGTON – THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE


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 those prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting glory and bestowed His manifold benefits upon the new Nation.

In like manner, let our prayers now rise for our heroes in the American military 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 keep them in the shelter of Your healing wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Amen.
