Heavenly Father –
May all those who call on Your name trust in You and be filled with Your Holy Spirit. Grant Your people wisdom and power to fight the enemy of all that is good. We pray for boldness and courage - that our hearts not fail as we stand on Your promises.
We ask for safety and travel mercies for our athletes that represent us abroad. Keep them from those who would inflict terror and chaos in the world. Likewise, may all those call Your Name be a testimony to Your grace and goodness.
Keep all Your servants, in uniform or not, home and abroad, who put themselves in harm’s way to defend us and keep us safe. Strengthen all Your servants so that the Good News may not be hindered and accomplish the good work that You ordained since the beginning of time.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen
Amen.
So very Amen Dear Newwoman, there is POWER in THE NAME, there is POWER in the PRAISE, there is POWER in our PRAYERS...TO THE GLORY OF OUR ONE AND ONLY ETERNAL GOD, now and forever more...AMEN. Thank you for this most stirring post. Love, Jean
Prayers up for Our American heroes, For Our Nation, and for Our Diplomats and Athletes who represent America in other countries.
Read: James 5:7-11
A 2006 survey of more than 1,000 adults discovered that most people take an average of 17 minutes to lose their patience while waiting in line. Also, most people lose their patience in only 9 minutes while on hold on the phone. Impatience is a common trait.
James wrote to a group of believers who were struggling with being patient for Jesus’ return (James 5:7). They were living under exploitation and distressing times, and James encouraged them to “set the timer of their temper” for the long run. Challenging these believers to persevere under suffering, he tried to stimulate them to stand firm and to live sacrificially until the Lord returned to right every wrong. He wrote: “Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand” (v.8).
James called them to be like the farmer who waits patiently for the rain and the harvest (v.7) and like the prophets and the patriarch Job who demonstrated perseverance in difficulties (vv.10-11). The finish line was just ahead and James encouraged the believers not to give up.
When we are being tried in a crucible of distress, God desires to help us continue living by faith and trusting in His compassion and mercy (v.11).
Prayers always for our Heroes and our Nation.
Blessings, etabeta
