Joining in prayer for our Heroes and our beloved Nation.

A missionary recently visited the Bible study I was attending. She described what it had been like to pack up her household, part with friends, and relocate to a distant country. When she and her family arrived, they were greeted with a flourishing drug-trade and hazardous roadways. The language barrier brought on bouts of loneliness. They contracted four different stomach viruses. And her oldest daughter narrowly escaped death after falling through a railing on an unsafe stairwell. They needed prayer.
The apostle Paul experienced danger and hardship as a missionary. He was imprisoned, shipwrecked, and beaten. It’s no surprise that his letters contained pleas for prayer. He asked the believers in Thessalonica to pray for success in spreading the gospel—that God’s Word would “run swiftly and be glorified” (2 Thess. 3:1) and that God would deliver him from “unreasonable and wicked men” (v.2). Paul knew he would need to “open [his] mouth boldly” and declare the gospel (Eph. 6:19), which was yet another prayer request.
Do you know people who need supernatural help as they spread the good news of Christ? Remember Paul’s appeal, “Brethren, pray for us” (2 Thess. 3:1), and intercede for them before the throne of our powerful God.
Read: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5
Amen
Joining in your heartfelt prayer, Kitty Mitten.
FYI: As today is National Day of Prayer, some of us gathered about the flag pole at the public high school in my small town. A few teachers, few of us in the community, and a dozen or more high school students circled the pole and took turns praying for the our country, the community, and the youth.
May 2, 2013 NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER. . . . .therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left. Isaiah 37:4
OH JESUS, I bow before YOU this morning, for there is no KINGDOM that is not YOURS, no GLORY that is not YOURS, no creature that is not YOURS, no breath that is not YOURS, no Praise that is not YOURS, no Nation that is not YOURS…YOU ARE LORD OF ALL, and the FATHER has given ALL into YOUR HAND and COMMAND, and the HOLY SPIRIT has ordained YOU KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, to the GLORY OF THE ONE TRUE GOD…AMEN and AMEN
Dear LORD GOD, I pray with those in this nation today who Honor YOU, Know YOU, Love YOU, Trust YOU, and Serve YOU. YOU alone are Worthy to be Praised. Forgive this nation for forgetting YOUR HAND of Providence and Grace and have lost the gift of Thanksgiving. Forgive this nation for forgetting YOUR Holiness and allowing such heinous laws to approve sin. Forgive this nation for forgetting YOUR MERCY which is leading many souls to hell. OH LORD GOD, I stand with the remnant today, and ask for a renewal , restoration and blessing to be upon our NATION once again. I pray for DIVINE HOPE and ALMIGHTY STRENGTH to rest in the hearts of our soldiers. I pray our country will once again recite these words together: “ONE Nation under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” Amen.
