Christmas 1944: Patton’s Weather Prayer

Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
Psalm 3:7 (NIV)

Heavenly Father,

During dark days, especially the long nights around Christmas, we have called on You, Lord, to deliver us from evil. As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we see Your Providence evident in our history.

Christmas 1776

Morale in the Continental Army was at its nadir. Troops were leaving and not re-enlisting. Many were giving up. The American Revolution seemed lost. But You, Lord, raised up General George Washington for such a time as this. He made a bold move on Christmas Day.

Through God’s help, Washington secured a victory in the Battle of Trenton and kept the Great Cause of America alive. Washington never gave up. He put his trust in You, and with God’s help, he prevailed.

Christmas 1944

During World War Two, the Allies were in a difficult spot during the Battle of the Bulge. Bastogne seemed lost to the Nazis. But You, Lord, raised up General George Patton for such a time as this. He made a bold move to rescue Bastogne as he looked to Heaven for help in battle.

Christmas 1968

The decade of the 60s rocked with rebellion, protests, unrest, and assassinations of leaders such as JFK, MLK, and RFK. The War in Vietnam raged on, as did the Cold War. America had lost her way. But You, Lord, gave us a glimpse of Earth from the Heavens. The world witnessed astronauts reading from Holy Scripture.

It was You who made us, and it is in You we put our hope.

Christmas 2025

The coming New Year will mark America’s 250th anniversary. We thank You, Lord, for preserving our nation — a quarter of a millennium through many trials and dark times.

As we celebrate His First Coming at Christmas, we also wait for the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior. The darkness will end, and morning will come. May we never give up and always keep the faith.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.
Psalm 118:1 (NIV)

Keep praying for America.
