LWML e-News #39 This month as we hear about more district conventions, let us use our "Together in Prayer Every Monday at Noon" to celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedom we enjoy to gather in these conventions. Let us remember ... Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Psalm 33:12a (NIV). Gracious Lord, Thank You for the priceless blessings of liberty that I enjoy because of the men and women that came before me in this country. Teach me to treasure my freedom and not jeopardize these liberties by my actions. Bless this nation founded under Your godly principles. Give our leaders wisdom like Solomon that only You can give. Thank You that You are in control of our nation and our world. Nothing slips by Your watchful caring eyes. Help us always to look to You in our cities, states, nation and the world. Freedom always has a price. Let me never forget that my freedom from sin was purchased at the expense of Jesus' life. Grant each of us continued freedom and peace that the Gospel may continue to be spread and that all may know true freedom - freedom from sin and death. In Jesus Name, Amen.
