Dear FATHER, YOU have given us the Ultimate GIFTS, THY SON, THE HOLY SPIRIT, SALVATION and ETERNAL LIFE, yet YOU ENCOURAGE US to ASK FOR MORE. THANK YOU for YOUR GIVING GRACE, YOUR EVERLASTING LOVE, and YOUR DIVINE MERCY. FATHER, we thank YOU for our homes, for our families and friends, for our churches, our brothers and sisters that surround our lives with LOVE, YOUR ETERNAL GIFT. LORD, this we ask first, that the LOVE OF CHRIST which surpasses knowledge, will fill each of us and overflow to those we touch and to those who need it from us.
Dear FATHER, we ask for the protection and safety of our Military. LORD, we ask that in this request, the ultimate of all PROTECTION for each and every one will be the ROBE of RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE SHIELD OF FAITH, and the HELMET OF SALVATION. IN THESE, THEY WILL LACK NO GOOD THING DEAR GOD ALMIGHTY…AMEN. For those serving abroad, we ask a blessing to be upon their children, their husbands and wives, and all those who await their return home.
And FATHER, we ask in the spirit of our Founding Fathers, who indeed were men just like us, sinners saved by Grace, but reliant upon THY MERCY, for a renewed dependence upon YOU in this Country. Looking to YOU and asking for LIFE, LIBERTY and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS to be the blessing we receive because we pray each day: GOD BLESS AMERICA. And LORD, thank YOU for putting upon our hearts YOUR PRECIOUS request, to PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM. What a joy this becomes in our own hearts, for as we do so, we see them through the APPLE of YOUR EYE, a COVENANT of LOVE DIVINE, and that blesses us too.
FATHER, we thank YOU that we may come to YOU now, in CHRIST, and the THROUGH THE SPIRIT, and may call out “ABBA” to the GLORY OF THY NAME, the GOOD of SOULS, and the LOVE that IS FROM ABOVE. IN JESUS NAME…AMEN.
