Pray for our American Heroes

Father in heaven, we thank You for all that You do for us, all the graces that surround us.

Father, we pray for our troops, that You would keep them safe, both at home and abroad. Defend their lives from enemies and accidents alike.

Lord, we pray for the U.S. Olympics team as it travels to Russia. Remembering the recent terrorism in that country, we ask You to grant safety to all our athletes, and may their conduct be honorable before You.

LORD, we ask You to give us the faith that goes on hoping, even in pain – that knows that though we fall, we will rise, and though we sit in darkness, the LORD will be our light. We have sinned against You, and by nature we bear Your wrath, but You plead our case and establish our right; You have appointed Your Son to intercede for us, to be our high priest forever. You will bring us out into the light, and we will see Your righteousness. We watch in hope for the LORD, we wait for God our Savior; our God will hear us – in the Name of Jesus Christ, who died to give us everlasting life, Amen.

Come and pray.

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.

FROM THE BRAVE, albeit weary, ill-equipped, and untrained volunteers who marched 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.

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)

The Journey Begins
January 11, 2014

Read: 2 Peter 1:5-11

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away. —2 Corinthians 5:17

Bible in a Year:
Genesis 27-28; Matthew 8:18-34

Eighty-one years ago today a 9-year-old boy prayed to ask Jesus to be the Savior of his life. His mother wrote these words in a memory book: “Clair made a start today.”

Clair—my dad—has now walked with Christ for 8 decades. He marks the day when he made his decision to follow Christ as the beginning of his journey. Growing spiritually is a lifelong process—not a one-time event. So how does a new believer feed his faith and continue to grow? These are some things I observed in my dad’s life over the years.

He read the Scriptures regularly to increase his understanding of God and made prayer a daily part of his life (1 Chron. 16:11; 1 Thess. 5:17). Bible reading and prayer help us grow closer to God and withstand temptation (Ps. 119:11; Matt. 26:41; Eph. 6:11; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; 1 Peter 2:2). The Holy Spirit began to develop the “fruit of the Spirit” in him as he surrendered his life in faith and obedience (Gal. 5:22-23). We display God’s love through our witness and service.

My dad’s spiritual journey continues and so does ours. What a privilege to have a relationship in which we can “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”! (2 Peter 3:18).

I want my heart to be in tune with God,
In every stage of life may it ring true;
I want my thoughts and words to honor Him,
To lift Him up in everything I do. —Hess

Salvation is the miracle of a moment; growth is the labor of a lifetime.

Lord, we pray for the U.S. Olympics team as it travels to Russia. Remembering the recent terrorism in that country, we ask You to grant safety to all our athletes, and may their conduct be honorable before You.

LORD, we ask You to give us the faith that goes on hoping, even in pain – that knows that though we fall, we will rise, and though we sit in darkness, the LORD will be our light. We have sinned against You, and by nature we bear Your wrath, but You plead our case and establish our right; You have appointed Your Son to intercede for us, to be our high priest forever. You will bring us out into the light, and we will see Your righteousness. We watch in hope for the LORD, we wait for God our Savior; our God will hear us – in the Name of Jesus Christ, who died to give us everlasting life, Amen.
