Pray For Our American Heroes and Our Nation

VJ Day in Times Square (August 14, 1945)

When you go to war against your enemies
and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours,
do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God,
who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you.
When you are about to go into battle,
the priest shall come forward and address the army.
He shall say: “Hear, Israel:
Today you are going into battle against your enemies.
Do not be fainthearted or afraid;
do not panic or be terrified by them.
For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you
to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”

Deuteronomy 20:1-4 (NIV)

I put no trust in my bow,
my sword does not bring me victory;
but you give us victory over our enemies,
you put our adversaries to shame.
In God we make our boast all day long,
and we will praise your name forever

Psalm 44:6-8 (NIV)

Heavenly Father –

As another anniversary of VJ Day approaches, may we be heartened by its lessons and apply it in our day. Spiritual darkness seems to reign as evil seems unchecked as it had during the start of World War Two. Restore in America the spirit of 1945 – when our country was united to overcome powerful enemies on all fronts, bent on destruction of all things good.

But You, Heavenly Father, know the end from the beginning – and in the end justice and righteousness will prevail. Equip us with the gifts of the Spirit and empower us to stand for the right as You deem what is right. May all Your children, who call on Your Name, have our moral clarity restored as well as our spiritual discernment.

Protect all Your servants who are in the battle – for the mind and the soul of our nation as well as frustrate all those who plot to do us harm, home or abroad. May we rest in the certainty that ultimately You, Father, will give us the victory over the Evil One through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And with that promise, may we be filled with joy by the Divine kiss of Your marvelous love for Your people.

In Jesus’ precious Name,
Amen

Keep praying for America

Please join us in praying for America and our American heroes

In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands.
And his commands are not burdensome,
for everyone born of God overcomes the world.
This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
Who is it that overcomes the world?

Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

I John 5:3-5 (NIV)

Belonging
August 9, 2013

My dad was full of stories about his hometown. So you can imagine how excited I was as a child when he took our family there every summer. We fished the St. Joseph River together and visited his boyhood farm where all of his stories came to life. Although that place was never really my home, whenever I visit that town—now with grown children and grandchildren of my own—it fills me with a nostalgic sense of belonging.

Jesus talked with His disciples about His home in heaven, which He left to come and live among us. What a joy it must have been for Him to tell His disciples, “In my Father’s house are many mansions . . . . I go to prepare a place for you, . . . that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:2-3). No doubt Jesus, “who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross” (Heb. 12:2), was looking forward to returning to His heavenly home and taking His Father’s sons and daughters there to be with Him.

The thought of Jesus taking us to His Father’s home fills us with great anticipation and compels us to tell others the good news about the Son who came to rescue us from this fallen place.

Now I belong to Jesus;
Jesus belongs to me—
Not for the years of time alone,
But for eternity. —Clayton

Only Jesus can fill us with a sense of belonging like we’ve never known before.

Read: John 14:1-11

In my Father’s house are many mansions . . . . I go to prepare a place for you. —John 14:2

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 77-78; Romans 10

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"

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.

Lafayette

Steuben

Pulaski

FROM THE BRAVE, albeit weary, ill-equipped, and untrained volunteers who straggled into Valley Forge on 19 December 1777 arose, with the help of some gallant friends from across the waves, the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, global defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants.



AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high in that bleak Winter, 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.
