I expect you are generally aware of your surroundings and attuned to changes based on your military training and experiences and/or parenting young children. While you take extraordinarily little for granted, I expect you are grateful for much including love from family and friends, your service to this nation [service members, veterans, and family members] and your eternal salvation by God’s grace. Hopefully, you show gratitude spontaneously and appropriately. ‘Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.’ [1 Peter 5:8-9 ESV] Robert.
I pray you that I are spiritually mature enough to give thanks to God for both the good and the bad that has and is transpiring in our lives and the lives of those we love from good or bad health to stable or troubled finances to employment/unemployment. ‘speak to each other with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; sing and make music to the Lord in your hearts; always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ' [Ephesians 5:19-21 ESV], my brother-in-Christ Maj Robert Thornton.
I pray that parents of school-age children are alert and take nothing for granted about their children’s health, safety, and education. I pray LORD that YOU are opening doors for employment for the parents in need of work. I pray LORD that most school districts in this nation, in India, in Australia and many other nations will be open to educate children inside the building safely for the schoolchildren, teachers and school staff. I pray for wisdom for the administrators and elected officials in each school district.
I pray for wisdom, good judgement, and cordiality for President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the leaders and rank and file of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives as they negotiate the coronavirus relief package.
I pray that the medical researchers and individuals going through trials are all alert to effects and side effects of the SARS- CoV-2 vaccines going through developmental trials. I pray that communication is good all around and significant progress is being made to develop a range of safe and effective vaccines and treatment.
LORD I pray that you take the LORD’s admonishment, on humility and alertness, to heart:
a. ‘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. [1 Peter 5:6-7 ESV]
b. ‘Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.’ 1 Peter 5:8-10 ESV
I lift each of the elected leaders, legislators, appointed officials, and judges throughout the USA, [as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America] to YOU LORD. I pray that each one is alert, has good judgment, will use their good judgement appropriately on behalf of their constituents .
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and your loved ones sleep well Saturday night and will awake healthy on Sunday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
