Memorial Day Prayer



Dear Heavenly Father,

As we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, we think of how they have followed in the footsteps of your son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Please hold our service men and women in your strong arms. Cover them with your sheltering grace and presence as they stand in the gap for our protection.

We also remember the families of our troops, and ask for your unique blessings to fill their homes and your peace, provision and strength to fill their lives.

May the members of our armed forces be filled with courage to face each day and may they trust in the Lord's mighty power to accomplish each task. Let our military brothers and sisters feel our love and support.

In the name of Jesus. Amen.

-Prayer and photo taken from the internet- God bless our troops, our nation, and may we all turn to the Lord and embrace our Savior, Jesus Christ-

Now is the Time of Salvation

Oh sinner! It may be now or never with you. I know that God saves men at the eleventh hour, but I know also that there are many who are not saved at the eleventh hour, and that after such-and-such an hour has struck, many are given up to hardness of heart, permitted to be there own destroyers, without any checks of conscience or of the Holy Spirit-and such may be your case. The ticking of the clock always cries to men who know how to interpret its meaning. "Now, or never! Now, or never! Today on earth, tomorrow in eternity!" If you have Christ, the only time to seek Him is today. "Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts." "For now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation."
