Pray for Our American Heroes and Nation
September 11, 2016 | Faith

Posted on 09/11/2016 10:46:09 AM PDT by Faith

I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my strength, in Whom I will trust;
my buckler, and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.
I will call upon the Lord,
Who is worthy to be praised:
so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Psalm 18: 1-3

Father God,

We remember the heroes of September 11th, 2001---those brave men and women who sacrificed their own comfort and even their own lives to help others in a time of great need in this nation. We salute them today, Lord, for their spirit of love devotion, and selflessness, grateful that their heroism lives on. Thank You for each one of them, Father, and may Your blessings and peace be upon their households. Help us to be a nation that loves You with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength; and that loves their neighbor as themselves.

Lord, we confess that in all the darkness of that day and the many days that have followed, You have not failed us. Though enemies may tear down man-made towers, You remain our Strength, our Rock, our Fortress, and our Deliverer always. You are the One in Whom we trust. You are our High Tower and our Sure Defense. Surely You are forever worthy of honor, glory, and praise. During this time of continued world tensions, You ease our fears. You save us from our enemies. We are grateful for You Lord, for You neither slumber nor sleep, but are ever ready to protect us.

Father, perhaps there has been no time in recent years in which we find our nation and the nation of Israel in such tremendous danger. We ask that You give our leaders the wisdom they need to make the decisions You want them to make. We pray for peace, Lord, and an end to man’s inhumanity to man. Help us, Lord and keep us steadfast in our trust in You. Enable us to carry Your banner of peace, grace, and hope wherever we go. We are grateful that all of this is possible because of the finished work of Jesus Christ. We need You every hour, Most Precious Lord. We ask this in the Name of the One Who died once for all---Jesus! 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 1777




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.

Joining in prayer. We were here in New York City on September 11, 2001 and we will never forget. Blessings on all who are joining us here and remembering.

Lord, you only are our Rock and our Salvation. Especially on this day, we pray for your comfort for those who survived the attacks of September 11, and for the families of those who survived and those who were lost on that day. We pray for revival in our nation. We ask these things in the name of Messiah Yeshuah!
