Amen to that PVT Mark Zehner - Here's my personal message to you brother - "May you always be strong for yourself and your family and others that may need your support; may you always be positive with a strong attitude; may you be resilient when the time calls for it; may you be a strong person and may you and your family always be safe and in good health! Be that Strong Person Every Day!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I expect you consider yourself to be strong person in terms of both physical strength and honorable character. In all probability you have demonstrated physical strength and vigor when called upon to use your strength as well as to endure significant physical pain. Hopefully since your salvation your character has been tested sufficiently to shine forth as honorable and strong character Mark.
I pray that you and I remember to focus our thoughts on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, and if there is anything excellent worthy of praise. When we get seriously distracted such as in this COVID-19 infection risk season, I pay that we ask the LORD to transform our mind, my brother-in-Christ PVT Mark Zehner.
I pray that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are parents, demonstrate courage of conviction to our children and we are true to our word spoken to them. Empower us to live by the standards we set for ourselves and our family members.
I lift those on the front lines of the COVID-19 perimeters and those service members and agency personnel focused on taking down terrorist forces, infrastructure, material support, leadership, and financial support.
I lift the police force members, sheriff department members and federal and state agents focused on controlling and interdicting criminal activity. I pray that YOU guide the mind, hands, and legs of each one on the front lines. Give them courage of conviction to stay the course of duty, wisdom on how to handle all situations with sufficient force and respect for each one involved. I pray that the domestic counter-terrorism folks will be blessed by YOU with wisdom to identify and the down the domestic terror groups and their material supporters and financiers supporting them.
I pray that YOU bring the radicalized protesters focused on destruction around the world to their knees.
I pray that YOU bless the military service members and agency personnel focused on counter-terror operations with wisdom, insight, and discernment to recognize the terrorists, their supporters, and sleeper agents. I pray that YOU empower them to destroy terrorist forces, infrastructure, material support, leadership, and financial support.
I lift the Federal and state elected leaders, legislators, and judges to YOU dear LORD. I pray that YOU give each one strength to stand up for good and to resist evil each day. I pray that YOU bless Federal and state investigators wisdom and discernment to identify corrupt officials and gather sufficient evidence for conviction at trial.
I lift each elected leader, legislator, and judge in the relatively free world including Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America. I pray that YOU give each one moral strength and more trustworthy character. I pray that YOU enable each nation and locality to root out the corrupt and dishonest and raise up wise, knowledgeable, competent, and trustworthy leaders and judges.
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on strength of character
a. 'Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.' ['Proverbs 28:6 ESV]
b. 'But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.' [1 Samuel 16:7 ESV]
c. 'Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.' Philippians 4:8 ESV]3.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Friday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good RED morning Mikel and my friends on RallyPoint! It is difficult to know who is a person of strength. Is it one's physical, spiritual, or mental strength that we admire? In the short story 'The Open Boat' it is the 'weaker' character who survives the shipwreck. Apparently, his strength was of an inner strength that helped him survive. Many people misquote Nietzsche's, "What does not kill me makes me strong" quote. The full quote is "From the military school of life: what does not kill me makes me strong." We forget that there are many different schools of life from which to choose. Every choice we make can make us stronger for self and for others.
