Pray for those who fight for our freedom... At Gahanna Free Will Baptist Church we are thankful for our military men and women who are fighting for our freedom all around the world and for the sacrifices they are making every day. Justin Mays,
youngest son of Andy Mays and step-son to Diane Mays, is currently serving
in Iraq in the U.S. Army. Pray for Justin and all of our troops who
are serving all around the world.

"For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil." (Romans 13:4) "Pray for the courageous members of our military who continue to serve faithfully across our nation and around the world, remembering especially those who have sustained life-changing injuries or who have lost loved ones or comrades. Pray that they will be strengthened and bolstered for their duties and that they will feel the support and gratitude of all those whose freedom they safeguard in Iraq, Afghanistan and here in America. Pray also for their families to have all that they need."
O Lord God of Hosts, grant to those who have gone forth to
fight our battles by land or sea, protection in danger, patience
in suffering, and moderation in victory. Look with compassion on the sick, the
wounded, and the captives; sanctify to them their trials, and turn their hearts
unto Thee. For Thy dear Son's sake, O Lord, have mercy upon the fatherless, and
comfort all who mourn. O gracious Father, who makest
wars to cease in all the world, restore to us, Thy people, speedily the blessing
of peace, and grant that our present troubles may be overruled to Thy glory, in
the extension of the Redeemer's Kingdom, and the union of all nations in Thy
faith, fear and love. Hear, O Lord, and answer us; for Jesus Christ's sake.
Amen. |
