For in fact the body is not one member but many.

TOPICS: Prayer
KEYWORDS: heroes; nation; pray
Father, we thank You for the vivid picture You paint in Your Word as You promise to cover us with Your feathers and grant us refuge under Your wings; Your faithfulness will be the shield for our American Heroes and a rampart for our Nation. We need not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at our sides, ten thousand at our right hands, but You will keep destruction from coming near us. You, Lord God, are with us, You are mighty to save. You will take delight in us, You will quiet us with Your love, You will rejoice over us with singing!

Our faithful God, we thank You for the grace, mercy, and peace from You the Father and from Jesus Christ, Your Son, that is with us in truth and love. Help us to know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for our sake He became poor, so that we through His poverty might become rich. Please help our American Heroes to continually discover the riches of Christ in their lives, Lord. Lord God, You have chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom You promised those who love You. Cause us to be rich in faith, Lord! In Your name, Lord Jesus, we pray, Amen

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED 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.

What A Great Neighborhood
November 8, 2011

Where you live has a way of making certain demands on how you live. In my neighborhood, the garbage collector comes on Tuesday mornings, so it’s my responsibility to get our garbage can out to the curb the night before. Letting the trash pile up on the curb for days before doesn’t make for happy neighbors. And we have lots of children playing outside, so signs are posted everywhere reminding drivers to slow down. That means I drive slowly and watch for little ones who, without looking, chase wayward balls into the street.

It’s important to remember that God has placed us into the “kingdom of the Son” (Col. 1:13). Living in His neighborhood means there are life-transforming behavior patterns that should clearly reflect our spiritual location. This is why Paul reminds us that God’s kingdom is not about arguing and bickering over earthly stuff but about “righteousness and peace and joy” (Rom. 14:17). Living by God’s right standards, living to be a peacemaker, and living to be a source of joy in our relationships are what kingdom life is all about. And, when we live like this, our lives please God and bless others (v.18).

Sounds like the kind of neighborhood anyone would love to live in!

The world gets a glimpse of God
When those who claim to be
The followers of Jesus Christ
Are living righteously. —Sper

If you’re part of the kingdom of God,
it will make a difference in how you live.

Read: Romans 14:13-19

For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. —Romans 14:17
Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 43-45; Hebrews 5

Father,

Thank you for your mercy and grace. Thank you for the abundant blessings you have poured out on this nation. Thank you for continuing to bless and protect us, even as we have fallen fall from where we should be. Lead each of your people back to your path; to you.

May we be a light in this dark world. Help us to have a servants heart as Jesus did. May we mourn for those who are lost and pray for there eyes and hearts to be open to your truth. Help us to see past there negative attitude and unbelief and remember they are your children who you love and we must too.

Watch over and protect our brave troops as they give there lives serving us. Give them wisdom, knowledge,understanding and discernment when facing the enemy. Meet and exceed all the needs of their families. Bless them all for their great sacrifices.

Father, we pray that you send us a person of YOUR choosing to lead this nation as president during this difficult and dangerous time. We ask for someone who knows you and love you and your word; someone who walks your path. We know this person will be a mere human, but with your blessing, can lead this nation back to you and it's founding principals.

Thank you for hearing our prayers.

In Jesus Name we pray.

Amen
