CPLMS Prayer page
Almighty God, I thank You for giving me the talent and ability to participate in this sport. I pray that I can use my talent and skills to glorify You in some way. As I run this race may I feel Your presence in my life. May I be confident that You are with me in this race, just as You are with me in the walk of life. I also pray for my family and friends that help me in this sport. May You protect all of us during this race and as we travel home. Amen!
Prayer for Battle
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, grant unto us this day such strength and courage in thy service on land, on sea, and in the air, that we may faithfully defend and preserve the liberties and the lives of all thy dear children who are now suffering from unprovoked aggression and from unjust attack. May thy Fatherly hand ever be over us! May thy Holy Spirit ever be with us, so that we may quickly scatter those who delight in war; and may build an enduring peace founded upon thy holy Laws and upon that unselfish good will to all those who love justice and peace, which Thou hast given unto us through Jesus Christ, thine only Son, our Lord! Amen
Washington’s Prayer for the Nation
Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in thy holy protection; that thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government, and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at Large.
And, finally that thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which we were characteristics of the Devine Author of our blessed religion, and
without an humble imitations of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation.
Grant our supplications, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
