Father,
I pray for this country. It seems we are going more and more down the wrong path. I pray for wisdom for our leaders to do what is right and not just what is convenient. I pray that we as a nation may put aside living by pragmatism and the pursuit of personal pleasure and become a people of principle.
I pray for the people who have fought to protect our country or who are presently fighting to do so. I pray that You would put a hedge of protection around them. I pray they may get the respect they deserve. I pray for those who have been injured physically or mentally due to their service, that You would work a work of healing in their lives. And I would ask for peace, for them and their families, as well as for peace for those who may be mourning the loss of loved ones due to their service.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

MEMORIAL DAY PRAYER
A special prayer on Memorial Day -- As we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy every day, we think of how they have followed in the footsteps of your son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Please hold our servicemen and women in your strong arms. Cover them with your sheltering grace and your presence as they stand in the gap for our protection. We also remember the families of our troops. We ask for your unique blessings to fill their homes, and we pray your peace, provision, and strength will fill their lives. May the members of our armed forces be supplied with courage to face each day and may they trust in the Lord's mighty power to accomplish each task. Let our military brothers and sisters feel our love and support. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Amen

Remember
Exodus
12:14 (NLT)
“This is a day to remember. Each year, from generation to generation…..”
“This is a day to remember. Each year, from generation to generation…..”
Father
this week end we will once again remember those who throughout our history have
made the ultimate sacrifice to secure and sustain the freedom that is so
precious and priceless to us. Thank you for the men and women from all walks of
life that answered to the call to serve and for so many who sacrificed their
life for the ideal of freedom that is our daily reality. Sweet freedom: the air of heaven, the hope of earth, and the
right of every human being. Father help us to never fail to remember our
history, our heritage and our responsibility to be guardians of this treasure
we call freedom.
And Father you remind us in John
8:36 (NLT) “So if the
Son sets you free, you are truly free.” Thank you that in Christ Jesus we are free
from the penalty of sin, free from the power of sin and someday we will be free
from the very presence of sin.

The Little Things
Sometimes it seems like it is the little things that get to me. You would think that having pancreatic cancer would put other things in perspective. I am pleased to say that sometimes it does. But at other times (depending no doubt on my attitude), it can seem like one more thing on an already overloaded cart. I fell and slightly bruised my back yesterday. And I find this harder to trust God for than the fact I am facing life and death and the doctors still do not know which way I am leaning toward.
Father,
Help us to trust You for the little things. Help us to remember that You are involved in all our lives. Help us not to have the attitude that we can handle these without You (we cannot). Help us to turn to You early and not after all else fails. Help to see everything in the perspective of Your love and power.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Prayer for Peace

ONCE AGAIN
Dear Lord, I think upon Your sacrifice
You became nothing poured out to death
Many times I've wondered at Your gift of life
And I'm in that place once again.
Once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life.
Now You are exalted tot he highest place
King of the heavens, where one day I'll bow
But for now, I marvel at Your saving grace
I'm full of praise once again.
Once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life.
Thank You for the Cross. I love You. Amen.

Peace Like A River
Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!
Thank
you Father that in times of turmoil our peace of heart, mind, and soul is the
result of our trust which is firmly fixed in you. Thank you that through faith
in Jesus, your beloved Son, we have both peace with God and the peace of God.
Therefore
Father we take to heart the Scripture which says: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what
you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will
experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace
will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians
4:6-7 (NLT)
Thank
you Father that by our trust in you we have: “…..peace flowing like a gentle
river…... Isaiah
48:18 (NLT)
And
the motto spoken of above takes on sovereign meaning “When we put our problems in God’s hands He puts his peace in our
hearts.”
In
Him who is our peace,

Outside Our Comfort Zone
Father,
I prayer for Your people, and especially me, that we may not try to be comfortable in this world. I pray that we may not push You away in some corner of our lives, only to bring You out when we are in trouble. Break down our comfort zones, that we may live for You in all our life and with all our strength. May You not be a part of our life, but be our life.

PRAYER FOR REVIVAL IN OUR LAND
Prayer For Revival In Our Land
Loving Lord Jesus, it saddens me to see the way that the gospel of Jesus Christ – is being so compromised in our land. As a nation we seem to have moved so far from the true gospel of grace and our churches and fellowships seem to be embracing many alternative and compromised teachings that are not true to Your word.Revive this land I pray. Stir up the hearts of those that have come to trust in Jesus Christ but who have been enticed to follow a different gospel or who have chosen to walk the way of compromised or embrace a different type of teaching. Let those that are Your blood-bought children be stirred in their hearts to seek the truth and to draw ever closer to the Lord Jesus – and Lord for those who once trusted You but have now wandered far away -I pray that You will speak to their hearts, revive their spirit and draw them back into close fellowship with Yourself – revive this land, I pray - in Jesus name,
Amen

World Day of Prayer
Isaiah 58:1 (ESV)
“Cry aloud; do not hold back; lift up your voice like a trumpet; declare to my people their transgression, to the house of Jacob their sins.
Acts
4:23-31 (NLT)
23 As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. 24 When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God:
23 As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. 24 When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God:
“O Sovereign Lord, Creator of heaven
and earth, the sea, and everything in them— 25 you spoke long ago by the Holy
Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant, saying, ‘Why were the nations
so angry? Why did they waste their time with futile plans? 26 The
kings of the earth prepared for battle; the rulers gathered together against
the LORD and against his Messiah.’ 2 7“In fact, this has happened here in
this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles,
and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, your holy servant, whom
you anointed. 28 But everything they did was determined beforehand
according to your will. 29 And now, O Lord, hear their
threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. 30 Stretch out your hand with healing
power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy
servant Jesus.”
31 After this prayer, the meeting
place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached
the word of God with boldness.
Yes Father may your people, around the world, be
filled with the Holy Spirit and with courage, compassion and clarity bear
witness to the glorious and transforming truth of the Word. In Jesus holy Name.

Appreciating our Wives and Mothers
Wanda, the
only thing better than having you as my wife is our children having you as
their mother. Happy Mother’s Day!
Thank you Father for our Mothers that we celebrate
on their special day with acknowledgements and remembrances. They are wonderfully created,
unique in their nature, and gifted in their ability to influence our lives. The
wise man in Proverbs accurately and affectionately states of a mother:
“She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread
of idleness. 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her
husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women have done
excellently, but you surpass them all.” 30 Charm is deceitful,
and beauty is vain, but a woman (Mother) who fears the LORD is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:27-30 (ESV)
Thank you Father for the Mothers we love, admire and celebrate this week
end. Amen

Prayer for our suffering and comfort
Blessed be to You O God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. You are the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. You comfort us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by You.
We share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. When we are afflicted, it is for the comfort of others; and when we are comforted, it is for the comfort of others, of those who experience pain and who patiently endure the same sufferings we suffer. Our hope for them to be unshaken, for we know that as we share in sufferings, we also share in our comfort. (adapted from 2 Corinthians 1:3-7)

THE FRAGRANCE OF CHRIST
This morning I was reading the Daily Bread devotion the title was
"The Fragrance of Christ"
How
appropriate and how timely ~ In II Corinthians 2:14-17 Paul reminded the
Christians there that they were the aroma of Christ. "For we are to
God the pleasing aroma of Christ."
When
we walk into a room, do people smell the fragrance of Christ in our
lives, our smile, our compassion, our availability. I hope that's true
of me. That's what I long for ~ to represent my Lord with the sweetest
fragrance. Sometimes that all that's needed and more powerful than any
words.
Dear Lord ~ I long to be the fragrance of Christ that will sweeten the place you have place me to live out my earthly life. A sweet fragrance that will lift up others, encourage their hearts, spur them on to many good works in your name. Lord you have sweetened my life with your gift of Salvation and the forgiveness of all my sins, past ~present~ and future. May my life give back to You the sweetness you have given me. I love You. Amen.
Amen
