A Night at the Races


The pic above was taken at the Aztec Speedway. I had the privilege on Saturday evening to pray for the drivers at the driver's meeting, and then pray prior to the start of racing. In consideration of this being Memorial Day Weekend, I wanted to share the prayer with you;

Dear Heavenly Father - we gather at the track this evening with a great sense of appreciation and thankfulness to you for the freedoms that we enjoy in our nation. On this Memorial Day weekend we are grateful to those who have gone before us - upon whose shoulder we stand - those who have fought for our liberty and for the scores who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Let us never forget.

We turn our attention to the track this evening and again acknowledge your sovereign grace. God, you know each driver, in fact you know them by name, and you know each of their families represented here this evening. Father, guide them, protect them, watch over them, and keep them safe.

Dear God, we pray that you will bless this night, we pray that you would bless our great nation - and Father we pray that you will bless those who stand watch this evening - all over the world - safe guarding our liberty and our Freedom. We know that freedom is never free.

In the precious name of Jesus I Pray. AMEN
