I expect that your work ethic is well-grounded and hope that your generosity in donating your time, talents and resources has improved as you mature in the faith. I hope you recognize that it is by God’s grace alone that you and I have skills, talents and knowledge. No doubt you understand that each person is equal in value in the LORD’s perfect view of humanity. Hopefully your humility and compassion are much deeper than skin deep. ‘Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.’ [1 Peter 5:6-8 ESV], my brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
I pray for an increase of the fruit of the Holy Spirit agape [selfless] love, peace, and self-control for each and every one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads or listens to this prayer. I thank YOU LORD Holy Spirit for dwelling with the soul of each of who are YOUR adopted sons and daughters. I expect that are true to your principles and that you dedicated to doing what is right whether or not anybody else is looking. I pray that each adopted son and daughter who reads this prayer understands the admonishment of the LORD: 'And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” [Mark 4:21-25 ESV]
LORD I pray for clarity of purpose and focus for each of us in our daily walk of faith. YOU alone know what the future holds for each of in this life. Give us ears to hear what YOU Holy Spirit know we should do. Thank YOU for sanctifying the soul of each of us as YOU prepare us to face future challenges and trials. ‘Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.’ [Proverbs 19:21 ESV]
I pray that you and I are becoming more compassionate and kinder in response to the involuntary changes you have been forced to adapt to. I lift the trustworthy and solid character government, military, business, & industry leaders, administrators and managers to YOU dear LORD. I pray that YOU bless each one with sufficient knowledge, skill and wisdom to lead those who rely on them. I pray that YOU bless each with trustworthy people to work with them and in support of them. I pray that YOU motivate each one to use their time, talents and resources to bless as many as they should. ‘What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.’ [James 2:14-17 ESV]
I pray for stable minds, humility, and a strong work ethic for each of the able bodied who are employed as well as those seeking to be employed. ‘Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.’ Proverbs 3:7-8 ESV]
I pray for a significant increase of humility in the prideful and biased radicals in this nation and RallyPoint members ‘Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.’ [Proverbs 16:18 ESV]
I pray that you and I heed the admonition of the LORD that humility and service to others is the highest level of human excellence.
I pray that you and your family members slept well Monday [Labor Day] night and will awoke refreshed and healthy on Tuesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good Labor Day Morning to all and thank you for sharing today's Message from the Eagle's Nest...
After a very dismal day here in the Boston Area, it has cleared up some and blue skies are showing through breaks in the clouds... I wish you all a magnificent Labor Day Holiday!!!
Today is: “Work Day!” Why Not?
"If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you." -- Steve Jobs
"Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy." -- Norman Vincent Peale
"When you are inspired in your work, everything seems to fall into place." -- Wayne Dyer
"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." -- Maria Robinson
"Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy." -- Kahlil Gibran
And know this my Brothers and Sisters:
“No matter what type of work you do in this life we celebrate your efforts, perseverance, and the labor of love you put into those endeavors – we celebrate the workers and laborers today!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
