Pray for our American Heroes
December 1, 2012 | Irish Rose

Posted on 12/01/2012 12:09:17 PM PST by Irish Rose

Then I said, “For how long, O Lord?”

And he answered:

“Until the cities lie ruined
and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left deserted
and the fields ruined and ravaged,
until the LORD has sent everyone far away
and the land is utterly forsaken.
And though a tenth remains in the land,
it will again be laid waste.
But as the terebinth and oak
leave stumps when they are cut down,
so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.”
(Isaiah 6:11-13)


TOPICS: Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: america; military; pray
Father in heaven, we ask You to give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins.

Lord, we pray that You would guard our troops in spirit and in body. Deliver them from all evil.

Father, we pray for our leaders as they face the fiscal cliff. Whatever their position, whatever their party, please help them to act with wisdom and integrity.

O Lord, long ago You promised Your people that You would raise up for them a king whose kingdom never ends, a shepherd who would judge the flock with justice and gently care for Your sheep. They waited until the cities laid ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses were left deserted and the fields ravaged, until You had sent everyone far away and the land was utterly forsaken. And though a tenth remained in the land, it was again laid waste. But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed was the stump in the land. Through war and exile and hardships Your purpose remained with Your people, and when the time had fully come, You sent Your Son. He opened a new and living way into the Most Holy Place, and through Him we receive an eternal inheritance that will never spoil or fade. Lord, in Your own perfect time You give more to us than we can ask or imagine, and we praise You in the Name of Jesus Your Son, Amen.

This isn’t a prayer but it does mention GOD.

Shouldn’t you only have to ping the list once? Please take me off the ping list. I don’t need to be reminded to pray. Thanks.

Amen to your wonderful prayer and revelation. I’ve been having trouble with the double pings myself lately. I know I only click once, but it still double pings. Must be a FR glitch. We’ll just pray double hard!

Thank you for your dedication to praying for our American heroes. Blessings as Christmas approaches.

Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come and has redeemed his people. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago). (Luke 1:68-70)
