"See what an incredible quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should be permitted to be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him." (1 John 3:1)

One day, we will know the full extent of Your love for us, dear Father. Even now, we fall to our knees with gratitude for that which You have revealed to us. With all the love that we know to give, we offer to You our hearts and praise.

This incredible quality of love—yea, Love itself-- is not just for those of us who have received it, but longingly reaches to those who have yet to acknowledge and accept Your offer. With Your heart, we yearn for them.

It is in this yearning and by the call of Your Spirit to intercede that we are here today. I struggle to find words to express myself today. It is just an utterance and groaning of, “Oh, God. Reveal Yourself to these lost ones.” Surely if they understood how wonderful You are, they would run to You.

And yet, You have called us to petition You, so with Your own words (which do not return void), we pray for our military men and women, our Olympic athletes and staff and our citizenry. “Let fall in showers, you heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness [the pure, spiritual, heaven-born possibilities that have their foundation in the holy being of God]; let the earth open, and let them [skies and earth] sprout forth salvation, and let righteousness germinate and spring up [as plants do] together; I the Lord have created it. (Is. 45:8)

Isaiah 64:1, 2:Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence—As fire burns brushwood, As fire causes water to boil—To make Your name known to Your adversaries, That the nations may tremble at Your presence!”

Until they learn to hide themselves in the secret place of the Most High, protect and defend our military and our Olympian representatives by the enormity of Your grace.

Thank You, Sir, for hearing the cry of our hearts when our words fail. We pray in the Name above all Names, Jesus, Your Christ.

Amen to your Prayer, Dear Hiskid!

I understand your request, but why stick athletes in their as if they are doing anything more for us than amusing us so that the politicians can steel our liberty?

Like the many venues of entertainment during the days of the Roman Empire, today’s athletes, Hollywood entertainers, musicians, et all, they have become the weapon used by Satan to destroy the morals of America.

Now that I think of it, I guess athletes and entertainers should be the first ones on your list when asking for prayers.

So, carry on my FRiend, and yes I will pray for them all.
