National Day of Prayer - May 3, 2012
The theme for this day of prayer is
"Blessed is the Nation whose God is Lord..." Psalm 33:12
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, we think of how they have followed in the footsteps of your son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Please hold our service men and women in your strong arms. Cover them with your sheltering grace and presence as they stand in the gap for our protection.
As we pray, we also remember our nation's leaders, the families of our troops, and ask for your unique blessings to fill their homes with your peace, provision and strength.
May the members of our armed forces be filled 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.
At The Battle’s Front
I’ve enlisted for life in the army of the Lord,
Though the fight may be long, and the struggle fierce and hard;
With the armor of God and the Spirit’s trusty sword,
At the front of the battle you will find me.
Refrain
Hear the tramp! tramp! tramping of the army,
The triumph shouting, the foe we’re routing;
Hear the tramp! tramp! tramping of the army,
Marching on to victory;
I’m in this army, this glorious army,
And the God of battles will defend me;
I’m in this army, this glorious army,
At the front of the battle you will find me.
Is your name, friend, enrolled with the loyal ones and true?
Will you dare now to stand with the Savior’s faithful few?
Will you join with me now and the covenant renew?
At the front of the battle you will find me.
"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so."
No one can take prayer away from us!
