It was you who opened up springs and streams; you dried up the ever flowing rivers. The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon. It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter. (Psalm 74:15-17)
TOPICS: Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: america; military; pray
Dear Father, thank You for Your gifts and open our eyes to see how many and how good they are.
Father, we ask You to protect the men and women who serve in our military. Whether from enemies abroad, or plots at home, please keep them safe.
Lord, we appeal to You, as the God of all comfort, to comfort the families of our fallen heroes. We remember especially the families of those just killed in Afghanistan, and ask You to be with them.
O Lord, it was You who laid the foundations of the earth and set all its boundaries. You made the sea and fixed limits for it, the place its proud waves halt. The day is Yours, and Yours also the night; You established the sun and moon and made both summer and winter. It was You who opened up springs and streams, and You who dried up the ever flowing rivers. We praise You, the Sovereign God who made all things and rules all things, in the holy Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Let Down Your Hair
February 25, 2012
Shortly before Jesus was crucified, a woman named Mary poured a bottle of expensive perfume on His feet. Then, in what may have been an even more daring act, she wiped His feet with her hair (John 12:3). Not only did Mary sacrifice what may have been her lifes savings, she also sacrificed her reputation. In first-century Middle Eastern culture, respectable women never let down their hair in public. But true worship is not concerned about what others think of us (2 Sam. 6:21-22). To worship Jesus, Mary was willing to be thought of as immodest, perhaps even immoral.
Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a façade of perfection. In church, we should be able to reveal our weaknesses to find strength rather than conceal our faults to appear strong.
Worship doesnt involve behaving as if nothing is wrong; its making sure everything is rightright with God and with one another. When our greatest fear is letting down our hair, perhaps our greatest sin is keeping it up.
Whenever we gather to worship Lets not hide behind a façade; Instead, lets be open and honest With others and also with God. Sper
Our worship is right only when we are right with God and with others.
Read: John 12:1-8

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.
SHADOWS AT ARLINGTON
Heavenly Father, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these who have fallen in the service of our Beloved Nation and in defense of the freedoms we hold dear. We pray that You gather them in Your loving embrace, that You cause Your countenance to shine upon them and that You vouchsafe their souls to dwell eternally in Your Divine Presence. Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

Thank you for praying for our American heroes. May God guide and bless you in all your ways.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Luke 12:33-34)
