Minuteman - April 2007 Opening Day

I was given the opportunity this weekend to open the Minuteman April month-long operations in prayer:

Our Father,

We turn now to the Creator of the universe for our safety, and for guidance.

We ask that you watch over us all, that you keep us safe from the dangers of the desert, and from those who would harm us. We pray for those who are in the desert now, Lord, those who are in a far worse situation than we, that we may serve You by becoming a life-saving instrument for them.

Lord, we pray that through our actions here this month, we may continue to be a loud voice to our lawmakers, that we continue to shout to them the American Peoples' desire to protect the sovereignty and freedom of our own nation. And while we stand here in the desert to that end, we pray, Lord, that You work in the hearts and minds of the leaders of other nations that they may be convicted to serve their people, provide them with freedom, and work to remove the conditions that have driven them across this border.

Lord, we ask above all that we have the wisdom to seek Your will, and the courage to follow it. We ask that You guide our actions here this month, that we may be a reflection of You.

In Your Son Jesus Christ's name we pray,

Amen.
