The lamp of the body is the eye.
If therefore your eye is good,
your whole body will be full of light.
But if your eye is bad,
your whole body will be full of darkness
- Matthew 6: 22-23

Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this day that You have made. Help us to rejoice and be glad in it as we think about You and all that You have done. You are our God and we thank You. You are our God and we praise You. We love You, Father, because You hear our voices and our supplications; because You bow down Your ear unto us, and because You answer us in ways far more wonderful than we can imagine or think, according to Your power at work in us.

Father, may our eyes behold Your goodness so that our bodies may be full of Your light. We hold up our military men and women to You and ask You to help them to be filled with the light of Your countenance as they serve in places that may be unsafe or unpleasant. Lord, use these days, months, and years in the lives of our troops to bring goodness and blessing to them. Help them to abide in the light of Your love and grace.

Lord, even though our leaders may not be doing what is right for the sake of Israel, may the prayers of Your people from across this nation be used to bring blessing, hope, protection, and the desire for salvation to the Jewish people everywhere. We thank You for the opportunity to hear from Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu in our Congress this week. We pray for Your protection over him and for Your truth to be spoken by him.

Lord, make us instruments of Your peace this day. Help each of us to be a part of America’s recovery, lifting her up in prayer each day, and trusting in You to help us return our nation to You. Help us, Lord God, and save us from ourselves. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

Gen. George Washington and his Troops Marching To Valley Forge
December 1775




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 his prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His Manifold Blessings 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 gather 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.
