In Their Own Words…

ATTENTION VETERANS!

GUARD DUTY IS LOOKING FOR YOUR STORY OR WORDS OF WISDOM TO ENCOURAGE TODAY’S YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN NOW SERVING IN OUR ARMED FORCES!

Please check out our newest page above entitled, “In Their Own Words” where you can post your personal story and thoughts.

Your country is still calling on you to selflessly serve again now by supporting our active duty men and women through this mission of encouragement and legacy. Help us revive the patriotic heart of America by the honoring of God and Country through your own words.

The LORD is near…

“The LORD is near to all who all on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them.”
Psalm 145:18-19
Do you feel alone today? Don’t despair for God cares dearly for you and is closer to you than you think. He is just waiting for you to call out to Him. He will be faithful to help you and comfort you.
Let us stand by you in your hour of need as well through prayer. Just click on the tab, “Special Ops” and let us know how to pray for you today.

God’s Promises…

In His Word, God gave us promises that we can rely on when we need hope and comfort. These promises reveal to us the deepest nature of God and tell us who God is in relation to His people.
When we have problems or when we are afraid, we often begin to imagine the worst-case scenario. We forget that our loving Father holds us in His hands. When fear and doubt about God’s faithfulness seem overwhelming, here’s a way to reforcus:
1. Chose to trust that God is bigger, smarter and more loving than you can imagine. God loves us and He always keeps His promises. Read and reread God’s promises to you Fill you mind with them.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.”  Proverbs 3:5-6
2. Resist the temptation to worship the problem. It’s a common form of idolatry! It’s easy to get so focused on a problem so that we talk about it endlessly instead of praying about it and focusing on Gods ability to handle it.
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
3. Regain your joy and peace: Focus on God-on who He is and what He has done for you and worship Him. Keep His ability, not the problem’s overwhelming nature, in the forefront of you mind.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from? My help comes rom the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let you foot slip-He who watches over you will not slumber.” Psalm 121:1-3
4. Pray, thank God, and let Him take care of it!
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ.” Philippians 4:6-7
