Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for giving us godly leadership at all levels. Lord, we ask You to forgive us for our sins that have grieved Your heart. Forgive me on a personal level for my sins. Lord, cleanse our hearts so that we might be blessed and live godly lives. May we be a people who live and share the truths of the Bible, so that Your kingdom will come on this earth. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Dear Lord, on this Veteran's Day, let us pause to remember those who have given their lives for our country or returned home ill or wounded; because of their sacrifices we have blessings to count. ... We have been warned that "if America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."* ... Oh Lord, help us as a nation not to depart from You. Let us pray daily for our leaders, for we are all truly dependent upon Your mercy and Your guidance.
In the name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.

Prepared to Fight
Ephesians 6:14-17
Dear Father, my support in battle,
Help me stand, having put on my body the garments of TRUTH and the bullet-proof vest of the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS, having put on my feet the combat boots of PREPARATION IN THE GOOD NEWS OF PEACE, and besides these, having taken in hand the shield of TRUST IN GOD. (I feel like I need a gas mask of DISCERNMENT to protect me from the poison of Satan's propaganda.) Give me the wisdom that comes with the helmet of SALVATION and the zeal to take up the assault weapon of the SPIRIT, THE SPOKEN WORD OF GOD.
With all these in place, let me stand my ground . . . and fight!
In the name of Jesus, the forger of our armor, I pray. Amen.
