Pray for our American Heroes

[Irish Rose]

My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore. (Psalm 131)

[Irish Rose]

Father in heaven, we come to You again, knowing that You hear all our prayers.

Lord, we thank You for all who have served in our military and defended our nation and its freedom. May Your blessing be with them.

Father, we pray that Your Gospel would be preached with power throughout the earth, and that Your Spirit would move in the hearts of those who hear. Lord of the harvest, send workers into Your harvest field – and reap a mighty crop.

LORD, today we still and quiet our souls in Your presence. We put aside doubt, and turn away from fear, to set our eyes on You. We remember Your faithfulness, that all the promises You gave to us are “Yes” in Christ, and not one will fail. We remember Your love, eternal and tender. So greatly did You want us that when we were Your enemies, You left heaven to share in our poverty, to carry our sorrows, and to die for our sins. Like a weaned child with its mother, so we are at rest with You. We put our hope in You, both now and forevermore, in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

[Irish Rose]

Come and pray.

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE 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, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

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 Jesus Christ Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Ignorance & Innocence
June 30, 2012

Some people avoid going to the doctor because they don’t want to find out that anything is wrong with them. Some people avoid going to church for the same reason. But ignorance of our sickness doesn’t make us healthy, and ignorance of our sin doesn’t make us innocent

Roman law is considered to be the source of the idea that ignorance of the law excuses no one. But the concept originated much earlier. When God gave the law to Israel, He established that even unintentional sin required a sacrifice for forgiveness (Lev. 4; Ezek. 45:18-20).

In his letter to Christians living in Rome, the apostle Paul addressed the issue of ignorance or lack of understanding. When people were ignorant of God’s righteousness, they made up their own (Rom. 10:3). When we live according to our own standards of right and wrong, we might feel good about ourselves, but that doesn’t make us spiritually healthy. Only when we are measured by God’s standard of righteousness (Jesus) do we know the condition of our spiritual health.

None of us can achieve the righteousness of Christ, but thankfully we don’t have to. He shares His righteousness with us (5:21). The good news about finding out what’s wrong with us is that the Great Physician can make us well.

Great Physician, You know my heart. I bow
before You now and ask that You show me
any attitude or action that doesn’t please You.
Make me clean; make me well.

God is the Measurer and Healer of our spiritual health.

Read: Romans 5:12-21

As sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. —Romans 5:21

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 109-111

Amen to Every Heaven-Enabled, Powerful Word of your Wonderful Prayer, Dear Servant of Jesus Christ.
It's a Blessing to Pray your Beautiful Prayers with you.
That is the Most Glorious Graphic!

'Praise the Lord, O Heavens! Praise Him from the Skies.' (Ps.148:1)

[Irish Rose]

Thank you for praying for our American heroes. May God bless you as you seek His grace.

Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, "Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin." In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. (Luke 15:8-10)
