On November 7, this nation will have a national election. Along with the candidates for federal and local offices, there is a ballot measure in South Dakota that will ban abortion in most cases.
Most of us here on FR will not be voting in South Dakota. But we can pray that the good citizens will cast the vote that will begin the end of the practice of infanticide.
This is a prayer request. My wife and I will be praying on the seventh, and would this is something that we all need to pray for. My bride’s mom is very active in the pro life movement in South Dakota, and would welcome our prayers.
Please pray and fast on Tuesday November 7 for this to be the beginning of the end of abortion

Thanks,

Definitely appropriate, redgolum. No eloquence needed.
Prayer and fasting, as was practiced at times by our founding fathers, is certainly, certainly appropriate. Let all Christian men and women unite as such on that sober day.
Thank you Kevin. Your request heartily seconded.
Very rare, joyful and urgent prayer and fasting ping to the Chambers List!
The battle in Missouri is of national importance as well, and I would submit this for targeted prayer.
In Vermont Bernie Sanders(Socialist) is running for Jeffords vacated Senate seat, and Leaky Leahy(Traitor) appears sure to be voted back in. Oh, FReepers and Freedom Fighters, please pray that Our Gracious, Forgiving, Sovereign God will remove these unrighteous leaders from our Senate chambers and from the very important committee positions!
Almighty God, we are taking You at Your Word; Thou Art Faithful!
Forgive us, Lord, and turn our hearts back to you. Deliver us from slaughter and perversion and strengthen us to do your will.

Psalm 100The Lord, our Gracious Father, has revealed to me lately the importance and repetition of the words and the concepts, "Mercy and Truth" in the last week or so. He's shown me various Scriptures concerning these two vital in-balance perfect Realities and Requirements.A Psalm of Thanksgiving.
Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the LORD, He is God!
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture!
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving!
And into His courts with praise!
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good!
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Let not Mercy and Truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, and so find favor and high esteem/good understanding in the sight of God and man.Dear Lord God Our Father in Jesus Christ, with these Worthy Words we come today, preparing the way of our petitions! We praise and proclaim Thee, Thy Way, Thy Name! We confess
~Proverbs 3:3-4"Therefore love Truth and Peace." ~Zechariah 8:19b
"Mercy and Truth be with you." ~2 Samuel 15:20b
"May the Lord show Kindness and Truth to you!" ~2 Samuel 2:6
Jesus Christ came (as/from/in/with/full of) Grace and Truth. ~John 1:14,17
Psalm 138
A Psalm of David.
I will praise You with my whole heart;
Before the gods I will sing praises to You!
I will worship toward Your holy temple,
And praise Your name
For Your lovingkindness and Your truth!
For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul.
All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD,
When they hear the words of Your mouth.
Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD,
For great is the glory of the LORD.
Though the LORD is on high,
Yet He regards the lowly;
But the proud He knows from afar.
Your Way Is Always Mercy and Truth!and we seek Your Face. Help us to pray by Your Holy Spirit. Gather all Your Warriors - with the Singers out in front! - to enter this battle in the Spirit, amen.
Though [we] walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive [us];
You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of [our] enemies,
And Your Right Hand will save [us].
The LORD will perfect that which concerns [us];
Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever!
Do not forsake the works of Your hands!
Amen! Prayers continue...
The polls right now show 52% against Referred Law 6 and 42% for it. Six % undecided. I truly believe it is closer than that.

Thank You, our Loving Savior, for Your Goodness to us, for Your Grace that Gives us New Life. We Praise You for these Heavenly Blessings, these Valuables from Your Sovereign Right Hand. From Your Storehouse of Gifts, You Grant us Great Things, O Awesome Lord! Our God of Israel, You Reign! You Reign Among Angels, and You Reign Among the Sons of Men!
We Pray for Thy Touch to be Upon our Elections, and we Pray for a Landslide of Righteousness, through Grace. May the Predictions of the Media be Totally Reversed, and an Unforseen Tide of Godliness Come In!
Your Majesty Shines Down on Israel; Your Strength is Mighty in the Heavens. (Ps.68:34) Look Upon America with Mercies, O God; Shine on us Your Truth, for the Whole World to See. Great are You, our Sovereign Father! Blessed be God Who didn't Turn Away when I was Praying, and didn't Refuse me His Kindness and Love. (Ps.66:20) Save our Nation, our Great King of saints, as we Worship You in our Jesus' Name, amen.
THANK YOU so much for letting us know! Is this being videotaped or recorded? Will it be televised/YouTubed? I know we can participate in the blessing this will be by prayer, but, oh, I wish I could be there with you! Indeed, Rushmore Rocks! I've had the privilege of visiting not only Mount Rushmore, but much more of the really wondrous state of South Dakota, and long to be with you now in body as well as in spirit.
God Almighty, Creator, Elohim, He Who Speaks and All IS, THANK YOU for the state of South Dakota, for the beauty there, and the patriotism! Thank You, Lord Almighty, Omnipotent, All-Wise, Only-Good, for what You have done and are doing now in that particular place in these United States. Thou hast knit our hearts together in this cause! Because Thou Dost Live and We Live In Thy Son, Our Savior Jesus Christ, Thy Cause, LIFE AND LIFE ABUNDANT, has become our cause, and we are Your People, we march beneath Thy Banner Love, and Thou Our Lord of Hosts!
South Dakota, we bless thee from all parts of the world, and speak the Praise of God to thee: That IN HIM IS LIFE and as thou dost dwell and abide in Him, He Blesses Thee! Choose Life, that it may be well with thee, and so with us! He has graciously placed thee at the head of the column! With Joy we proclaim His Majesty in thee, as You keep His Word and Proclaim His Name: The Way, The Truth, The Life, amen, amen!
God Bless America,
Land that I love
Stand beside her,
And guide her,
Through the night
With the light from above,
From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the ocean,
White with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.
Praise to the Lord, Who over all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen how thy desires ever have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, Who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee;
Health hath vouchsafed and, when heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
What need or grief ever hath failed of relief?
Wings of His mercy did shade thee.
Praise to the Lord, Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord, Who, when tempests their warfare are waging,
Who, when the elements madly around thee are raging,
Biddeth them cease, turneth their fury to peace,
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging.
Praise to the Lord, Who, when darkness of sin is abounding,
Who, when the godless do triumph, all virtue confounding,
Sheddeth His light, chaseth the horrors of night,
Saints with His mercy surrounding.
Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
