Gracious Father of Lights, how we adore You and magnify Your Name, Lord of Hosts, our Rock and our Redeemer, You are unsearchable, and beyond finding out. Your mercy reaches an eternity,
Your love is boundless, endless. We as individuals, as a body of believers, and also as a Nation require Your Strength in leading us this day. We pray as Moses did that, to "If Your Presence
does not go with us, do not lead us up from here." Exodus 33:15 We simply can't carry on in our strength and abilities. We seek to be strengthened by the Holy Spirit and imbued from power from on high. Let us wait before You, so that we are able to stand by the grace of the Almighty.
Please rally around the President, Vice President, members of his Cabinet, and staff, the Congress, the Senate and different branches of the U.S. government and cause these men and women to be led and directed by the Spirit of the Lord.
To be added or dropped from this ping list, post or freepmail stars & stripes forever.
President Donald Trump yesterday told the class of 2017 at Liberty University to stay true to their ideals and remember that the United States was built on religious principles.
“In America we don’t worship government, we worship God,” Mr. Trump said. He noted the prominent reverence given to God throughout U.S. history, from the prayers of pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock to the oath of office taken by every elected officials and the words recited in the Pledge of Allegiance.
“As long as I’m president, nobody will stop you from practicing your faith,” said Mr. Trump.
He later added that “America is a nation of true believers.”
As the Lord leads, please pray for:
• President Trump as he seeks a peaceful resolution with North Korea.
• Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy Rod Rosenstein as they interview the candidates.
"He gives power to the faint, and to them who have no might He increases strength...they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Agreeing in prayer. . .we live in tumultuous times. . . the headlines unfathomable. . .but as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we can take comfort knowing that God Alone is in total control. . .

Psalm 35
Of David.
1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me!
2 Take hold of shield and buckler,
and rise up to help me!
3 Draw the spear and javelin
against my pursuers;
say to my soul,
‘I am your salvation.’
4 Let them be put to shame and dishonour
who seek after my life.
Let them be turned back and confounded
who devise evil against me.
5 Let them be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the Lord driving them on.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
7 For without cause they hid their net* for me;
without cause they dug a pit* for my life.
8 Let ruin come on them unawares.
And let the net that they hid ensnare them;
let them fall in it—to their ruin.
9 Then my soul shall rejoice in the Lord,
exulting in his deliverance.
10 All my bones shall say,
‘O Lord, who is like you?
You deliver the weak
from those too strong for them,
the weak and needy from those who despoil them.’
11 Malicious witnesses rise up;
they ask me about things I do not know.
12 They repay me evil for good;
my soul is forlorn.
13 But as for me, when they were sick,
I wore sackcloth;
I afflicted myself with fasting.
I prayed with head bowed* on my bosom,
14 as though I grieved for a friend or a brother;
I went about as one who laments for a mother,
bowed down and in mourning.
15 But at my stumbling they gathered in glee,
they gathered together against me;
ruffians whom I did not know
tore at me without ceasing;
16 they impiously mocked more and more,*
gnashing at me with their teeth.
17 How long, O Lord, will you look on?
Rescue me from their ravages,
my life from the lions!
18 Then I will thank you in the great congregation;
in the mighty throng I will praise you.
19 Do not let my treacherous enemies rejoice over me,
or those who hate me without cause wink the eye.
20 For they do not speak peace,
but they conceive deceitful words
against those who are quiet in the land.
21 They open wide their mouths against me;
they say, ‘Aha, Aha,
our eyes have seen it.’
22 You have seen, O Lord; do not be silent!
O Lord, do not be far from me!
23 Wake up! Bestir yourself for my defence,
for my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 Vindicate me, O Lord, my God,
according to your righteousness,
and do not let them rejoice over me.
25 Do not let them say to themselves,
‘Aha, we have our heart’s desire.’
Do not let them say, ‘We have swallowed you* up.’
26 Let all those who rejoice at my calamity
be put to shame and confusion;
let those who exalt themselves against me
be clothed with shame and dishonour.
27 Let those who desire my vindication
shout for joy and be glad,
and say evermore,
‘Great is the Lord,
who delights in the welfare of his servant.’
28 Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness
and of your praise all day long.
GOD’S WORD is true and never changes. May we heed His WORD. Amen.
[We pray as Moses did that, to “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.” Exodus 33:15]
Thank you, givemWatts, for that profound prayer. Amen.
FATHER GOD,
JESUS said, “5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. (John 15:5)
Help us and our leaders understand You are FREEDOM. You are LIBERTY. Because our Founding Founders feared Your Name, and based our U.S. Constitution on Your great and mighty Promises, You made America the greatest nation on earth.
Draw close us so we can obey Your command. Do not let it be that Christians caused our nation to fail:
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Only You, GOD, can Make America Great Again. In You we place our trust. Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD.
In JESUS Name we pray. Amen.
Praise God.
May President Trump and his administration lean more and more into You. May they seek Your wisdom, Your justice and Your discernment. May they overcome all the obstacles placed before them, All the while, Giving All the Glory to YOU.
in Jesus’ name
