Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.” Matthew 16:23



TOPICS: Prayer
KEYWORDS: military
Lyrics: Chris Tomlin “Whom shall I fear”

I know Who goes before me

I know Who stands behind

The God of angel armies Is always by my side

The One who reigns forever

He is a Friend of mine

The God of angel armies

Is always by my side

OH SOVEREIGN LORD GOD, MASTER, CREATOR, KING, LORD, RULER, ALMIGHTY…how desperately do we need to hear YOUR VOICE once more. The ruler of this world, the ruler of this age, has stepped forward in boldness as if he is the one. OH LORD GOD, that the prayers of YOUR CHILDREN would dare to cease to allow silence to encourage this enemy of our souls and this world. Keep us praying diligently, without ceasing, keep us watchful, for we are weak, and the SPIRIT is strong…OH LORD, hear our prayer. Hear our prayer over our Military men and women who each day fight battles few of us know of. Battles within and battles without…yet LORD JESUS, YOU ARE COMMANDER of the LORD’s ARMY and nothing can either separate or defeat when YOUR WILL and YOUR PURPOSE reigns. OH LORD, may MERCY and GRACE reign over them…May SALVATION reign over their souls…may PROTECTION reign over their ways…May our PRAYERS reign over their needs.

Dear LORD, we pray for this country. OH LORD…speak out against those who are corrupting the plan of BLESSING that we have held onto for so many centuries. YOUR PROMISES never change..but we, the people, in weakness and desertion, have changed the course of blessing. Forgive us. Forgive this land.

Dear LORD, I pray for our churches. The gates of hell shall not prevail, for YOU LORD are the ROCK OF SALVATION, and the only thing that can move will be the enemy as YOUR COMMAND.. OH LORD, speak TRUTH back into our churches who have fled away into the enemy territory of political correctness leaving our homes, our children, our friends, even our enemies to fend for themselves for without SPIRIT AND TRUTH…there is no HOPE.

OH LORD, we need YOU…hear our prayer…Amen.

I love that song.

Yes, pray for our military.

It is under assault.

"Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from those who work evil; from the bloodthirsty save me. Even now they lie in wait for my life; the mighty stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord, 4for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Rouse yourself, come to my help and see!"

Psalm 59: 1-4

Amen to your earnest prayer!

Heal our land

Forgive oh Lord - and heal our land
And give us eyes to seek your face - and hearts to understand
That you alone - make all things new
And the blessing of the land we love - are really gifts from you

Unite our hearts - in one accord
And make us hungry for your peace - and burdened for the poor
And grant us hope - that we might see
The future for the land we love - our life, our liberty

If my people - Will humbly pray
And seek my face and turn away - From all their wicked ways
Then I will hear them - And move my hand
And freely then will I forgive - And I will heal their land
And I will heal their land
Heal their land

Yes and amen.

Father, we want to see the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Holiness cover our land and our military men and women who are outside our borders. Fill us up with more of You. We love You and Who You Are. Thank You for Jesus and this awesome place of prayer.

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. From the brave, untrained volunteers who strode into Valley Forge that Winter arose the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, world-wide defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants



AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high, 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.

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.
