Christmas Prayers for the Military and Their Families

My prayers go out to the members of the U.S. military and their family and friends for Christmas.

For those away from home, and who cannot get home for whatever reason (whether deployment, working, or distance), my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you for the sacrifice of the military member and their loved ones. Our country, and my life, would not be what it is today without you and your service. 

God bless you!

The USAGC 2026 Prayer and Vision

The USAGC 2026 Prayer is that the Great Commission is fulfilled in the United States of America on or by 31 December 2026. It's that all people accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and believe in John 3:16.

It's also for revival and for the Great Commission to be fulfilled in the world.

Any time you see 'USAGC 2026', that is what it means.

How is Your Prayer Life?

This is another prayer journaling opportunity, by the way. 

So, how is your prayer life?

How is it since you started to read this blog? (To Him be the glory, by the way.)

The reason why I ask these questions is because I started this blog on 14 December. Here it is 6 days later and my prayer life has been dramatically transformed. It has nothing to do with what I've written. It has to do with how God has worked in my life. 

Has he worked in your prayer life as well? How?

What has worked in your prayer life over the last week? The last year?

What hasn't worked very well?

What answers have you received for your prayers this week? This year? 

My prayer for you: Lord, open his/her heart and mind to praying for you in a whole new, active, personal, and more intimate way. May he/she learn how limiting his/her prayers have been in the past because it wasn't fully realized, or remembered, how every prayer--no matter how little or how much it has to do with the now--impacts generations upon generations. The reverse is true. Help him/her to remember how generations are impacted by the lack of prayer. Abba, help him/her with the Prayers of Determination and teach them, how to pray in the way you desire. Help him/her to know how you want them to pray for USAGC 2026 and the fulfilling of the Great Commission on or by 31 December 2026. To you be all glory, honor, and praise, forever and ever. You are holy, holy, holy.

What Have You Done This Year? How Have You Been?

My last blog post was about remembering what the Lord and you have done for Jesus over the last year. This blog is about what you have done for, and how you have been with, Jesus this year.

This is another Christmas tradition I have. It's analysis of the past year (and all my Christian life), review, and of my faith.

Before I continue, let me stress that it's far more important to be with the Lord. It's having your mind and heart focused on him--than to do any action for him. That's what matters most and above all. After all, we can do all sorts of what we would call godly acts, and never have our hearts and minds focused on him. They are rote acts for a checklist. 

Or, we can be focused on the Lord and his Word all the time. That's the being component of our faith and is what matters above all else. After all, we have to work for a living--in order to have shelter and food. So, while we work, we can be focused on the Lord and his Word. That goes for all the things we have to do: housecleaning, showering, driving, exercise, etc. We can be with him while we do other things. 

That's not to say acts of faith aren't important. They are necessary. The book of James reminds us of this. However, as we do those acts, our minds and hearts must be on him do they are not just for a check-mark to sign off on our to do list. 

So, that being said, it's important to reflect upon, and analyze, the past year of our walk with the Lord and the Word of God. This is where prayer journaling comes in to the equation. If you just answer these questions in your mind, you won't remember in 6 months, let alone in a month, what was said between you and God. 

PRAYER JOURNALING

A What did I do that worked well over the last year?

B What didn't work well?
C What all did I do to bring God glory this year?

D How close did I come to praying without ceasing?

E How close did I come to praying the Word, and meditating on it, morning, noon and night?

F How much time did my calendar literally reflect I spent with my Lord and his Word?

Now, answer questions A-F about the last two years, three years, five years, and every 5 years thereafter.
