Pray for our American Heroes
May 11, 2013 | Irish Rose

The LORD reigns forever;
he has established his throne for judgment.
He will judge the world in righteousness;
he will govern the peoples with justice.
The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion;
proclaim among the nations what he has done.
For he who avenges blood remembers;
he does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
(Psalm 9:7-12)

Father in heaven, You are the one who sends us the spring rains and fall harvests, and we thank You.

Lord, we pray today for the men and women in our military, that You will give comfort to those who mourn, courage to those who are afraid, and faith to those who doubt.

Father, as we hear news of the women rescued from their kidnapper, we ask You to give them the healing and strength to go on from here. We pray also for anyone who is now suffering in a similar situation, that You would save them.

LORD, You reign forever; You have established Your throne for judgment. You will judge the world in righteousness and govern the peoples with justice. For You are He who avenges blood, and You always remember; You do not ignore the cry of the afflicted, or forget their tears. You are a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know Your Name will trust in You, for You, O LORD, have never forsaken those who seek You. So we will sing praises to the LORD, enthroned in Zion, and we will proclaim among the nations what You have done, in the Name of Jesus Christ, who died for all, Amen.

Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. Matthew 27:55

Dear LORD, one cannot think of women of faith and women of persecution without the name: Asia Bibi coming to mind. OH LORD, its been a long while since we have heard of her or about her. YOUR EYE is upon her as it is upon even the sparrows…OH LORD, forgive us for forgetting our brothers and sisters of persecution throughout this world. Forgive us for taking for granted this freedom we have to sit comfortably in our faith. OH LORD, this pray is not about us and our forgiveness…it is about them and their needs. OH LORD, we pray for healing for any injuries that may have as a result of beatings, we pray for peace in the midst of much turmoil, we pray for strength as they wait upon YOU, we pray for HOPE…that it will be a solid foundation for perseverance…we pray for LOVE to hold together their families and their hearts…and to YOU…OH LORD..Have MERCY reign through our prayers for YOU LOVE…Amen.

Judges 6:12 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him: ‘The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.’ . . . 14 And the LORD turned towards him, and said: ‘Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian; have not I sent thee?’

OH LORD, GREAT COMMANDER of the LORD’s ARMY, all Power and Might are YOURS. I pray over all those who fight under the Banner of YOUR Mercy and Grace…for our nation, for the nation Israel, to the Glory that is IN YOU and the good that is toward us. Protect our military men and women in both these nations that call upon the Name of the LORD for Protection, Healing, Good, Blessing, and Witness to all the world of the Wonders of who YOU ARE…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 like 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 envelop 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
God Of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand
Morman Tabernacle Choir
(Click)


Heavenly Father, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these valiant 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.






"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!

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)

Thank you for praying for our American heroes. May God strengthen you as you hope in Him.

Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. (Hebrews 6:17-18)
