Pray for our American Heroes
August 25, 2012 | Irish Rose

I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.”
(Psalm 16:2)


TOPICS: Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: america; military; pray
Dear Father, we ask You to help us as we pray.

Lord, we pray for the men and women in our military, that You would keep them in body and soul; help them to overcome whatever trials they face.

Father, we pray for Your persecuted church, that You would save them from their persecutors. Strengthen them to endure until they receive the reward You have for them in heaven.

LORD, You formed Adam from the dust and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul. You made each of us in Your image and gave us life; all we have comes from You. When we were lost from You and captive to our sin, You died to set us free. Now that You have bought us at the price of Your own blood, we are not our own; we belong to You. You are our Savior and our Lord, and apart from You we have no good thing. You are our treasure, our very great reward, and we praise in the Name of Jesus our high priest, Amen.

Sleepless In Heaven

August 25, 2012

One of the most dangerous aspects of flying is the landing. As the aircraft gets closer to land, the air traffic is more congested, the weather on the ground may be far worse than the weather at 30,000 feet, and the runways may not be clear of other planes. So pilots rely on the air-traffic controller to coordinate all the details so that every plane can arrive without incident. Without the air-traffic controller, chaos would be certain.

Imagine, then, the panic when the pilot of an airliner full of passengers radioed the tower and got no answer. It was eventually discovered that the air-traffic controller was in fact there but sound asleep, putting pilot, passengers, and plane in great jeopardy. The good news is that the plane landed safely.

Even better news is that God, the ultimate traffic controller, neither slumbers nor sleeps. From His heavenly vantage point, He knows all that is going on in and around your life. As the psalmist notes, “My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber” (121:2-3).

You can count on it—God knows the impending dangers and will tirelessly direct the traffic of your life for your good and His glory (Rom. 8:28).

When trouble stalks the path we tread,
We need assurance, Lord, to know
That all our steps are being led—
That You, our God, are in control. —D. De Haan
Because God never sleeps, we can be at peace.

Read: Psalm 121

He who keeps you will not slumber. —Psalm 121:3
Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 24-26

Thank you for praying for our American heroes. May God increase our faith as we seek Him.

It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak. (2 Corinthians 4:13)
