Pray For Our American Heroes and Our Nation

"Liberated Dachau camp prisoners cheer U.S. troops."
(reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Prisoners_liberation_dachau.jpg)

3 Do not put your trust in princes,
in human beings, who cannot save.

4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
on that very day their plans come to nothing.

5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD their God.

6 He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them—
he remains faithful forever.

7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed.
and gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets prisoners free,

8 the LORD gives sight to the blind,
the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down,
the LORD loves the righteous.

9 The LORD watches over the foreigner
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

Psalm 146 (NIV)
----

KEYWORDS: military; pray; prayer; troops


So if the Son sets you free,
you will be free indeed.

Heavenly Father –

As January 26th marks an anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945, we are reminded that You have raised up Your servants in dark days to judge and restrain evil in this world. We are in debt to all the heroes who have given their lives to liberate the oppressed and have fought for what is right. May we continue to put our ultimate hope in You – the Liberator of all bondage, especially bondage to our own sins.

Grant us - we, the people - a broken heart and spirit to repent and seek Your face. May we rely on Your Holy Word and the illumination of Your Holy Spirit to guide us. May Your church provide the people moral clarity in teaching and preaching. Give us spiritual discernment as to what is right and the fortitude to shun what is evil in Your eyes. Give us a love for You and through the power of Your Holy Spirit enable us to keep Your commandments.

Uphold all Your servants who put themselves in harm’s way to serve others, home and abroad. Keep in Your tender care these brave men and women, who are Your agents to restrain evil, and may You empower them to be instruments of Your peace. May we uphold all our leaders in prayer as You give them Your Wisdom to act according to Your just and righteous ways.

May America reflect Your Light in a world that is in rebellion against You - our Maker, our Lord, our King, our Redeemer. And with the outpouring of Your Spirit, may we, the people, bear the fruit of a righteous nation.

In Jesus Name

Amen

Amen to your heartfelt prayer, NEWwoman. Lord, may we never turn our backs on the oppressed nor compromise with the forces of evil. Make us instruments of Your peace---always and forever. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!



GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON
THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE

"Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod"
William Billings
Mixed District Choir, Fairfax, Virginia
(Click)


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 lie a fountain for our Heroes in the American Armed Forces 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.




SHADOWS AT ARLINGTON

Heavenly Father, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these brave men and women 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 Jesus Christ Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

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)

Thank you for the word “Liberator” today…Powerful word in CHRIST

Jude 1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

OH GOD, I pray for YOUR CHURCH…help us LORD to get back to the heart of YOUR WORD, building ourselves up in HOLINESS and FAITH and allowing the HOLY SPIRIT to work mightily in and through us. OH GOD, thank YOU for all YOU have done and given us to equipped us to keep ourselves in the LOVE of GOD…thank YOU for Mercy, Grace and ETERNAL LIFE in JESUS our LORD and SAVIOR..Amen. OH LORD, soften our hearts toward those who doubt. Keep any sense of pride or prejudice out of our ways so that Mercy will have its perfect purpose…Forgiveness and Grace which leads to SALVATION. OH LORD, give us zeal..flavored with the GOSPEL of TRUTH for those heading for hell. Ones who don’t even realize this because they are “nice people” and “good to others”, OH GOD, these are the ones we must grab hold of with wisdom and discernment with deep and heavy prayer. And LORD, I pray for our missionaries and our persecuted brothers and sisters. Oh GOD, I can’t even image how hard it has to be to show MERCY when your life is in danger or your being tortured, or a family member is killed. How to separate hate to only reflect the outward man and still be able to reach the heart of the enemy needs our prayers of support. Most preciously, LORD GOD, we pray for our Military. I pray over our chaplains who are there among the soldiers to help them to “keep themselves in the LOVE OF GOD”. Encourage the weary heart to seek help, strengthen the strong heart to come along side the weak, Enlighten the dark heart to LIGHT OF SALVATION…and as every day, touch my heart’s desire, my Jake and our Alek..Thank YOU LORD..Amen.
