Romans 12:2--Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Forgive Us for What We Could Have Been but Failed to Be
"O thou Eternal God, out of whose absolute power and infinite intelligence the whole universe has come into being. We humbly confess that we have not loved thee with our hearts, souls and minds, and we have not loved our neighbor as Christ loved us. We have all too often lived by our selfish impulses rather than by the life of sacrificial love as revealed by Christ. We often give in order to receive, we love our friends and hate our enemies, we go the first mile but dare not travel the second, we forgive but dare not to forget. And so as we look within ourselves we are confronted with the appalling fact that the history of our lives us the history of an eternal revolt against thee. But thou, O God, have mercy upon us. Forgive us for what we could have been but failed to be. Give us the intelligence to know thy will. Give us the courage to do thy will. Give us the devotion to love thy will. In the name and spirit of Jesus we pray, amen." --Martin Luther King, Jr., 1953
Amen!
Thank you stars & stripes forever! God bless you.

Prayer For Those That Persecute Us
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You that You are our precious Price of Peace and our perfect example. Thank You that we have Your peace in our hearts and for the understanding that without You there is no perfect peace in this world of strife. Lord, there are many people today who do not know You and who seek to destroy those that are Your children, but Lord You have commanded us to love our enemies, to bless those that curse us, to do good to those who hate us and to pray for those who despitefully use us and persecute us.
Lord, we lay before Your throne of grace the many individuals and groups that openly seek to kill and persecute our Christian brothers and sisters. We pray for each one and lay each soul at Your feet, asking for Your mercy to rest on each of them. Look down in pity on those who are openly aggressive toward Christians for they have been blinded to the truth of the glorious gospel of Christ Jesus our Lord. Open their eyes we pray, and bring them to a saving faith in Jesus.
Lord, we ask Your blessing and mercy on each one for we too were once a stranger to the truth and at enmity against You, but You lifted us up out of the miry clay and set our feet on the rock of our salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Is there any wonder the lost want to tear down the statue of William Penn in Philadelphia? ...
“I do declare to the whole world that we believe the Scriptures to contain a declaration of the mind and will of God in and to those ages in which they were written; being given forth by the Holy Ghost moving in the hearts of holy men of God; that they ought also to be read, believed, and fulfilled in our day; being used for reproof and instruction, that the man of God may be perfect. They are a declaration and testimony of heavenly things themselves, and, as such, we carry a high respect for them. We accept them as the words of God Himself.”
—William Penn
Lord, we thank You. We thank You for the mercy that You have poured upon this fallen people. We thank You for Jesus Christ.

Amen SisterK! With praise and thanksgiving to our Savior, I’m praying in agreement!!
Thank You For The Promise Of Joy In The Morning
Lord, I thank You that there is nothing that happens to me or to my loved ones that You do not know about, and that no matter what takes place in our lives, You are with us all of the time.
Lord, I know that this world is not our home and that You have prepared a place in glory for all who have trusted Jesus Christ as Saviour. Thank You that however hard or difficult this life becomes and whatever befalls us, we know that what we endure through the trials of life, and the blackness and pain we may feel along the way will one day be lifted forever, when You come to take us to be with Yourself, when we will be with You in Your glorious heavenly home, for evermore.
Thank You, that the weeping of the night that we are going through during our sojourn on earth, really will end in the most joyous morning, which You have promised to all who have trusted You. I praise Your name that You have kept all our tears in a bottle for You know our sadness, and have promised to wipe away all the tears and pain that we have endured.
Lord, I do thank You that You have promised that Your grace is sufficient for all the hard times and trials that we may meet in this world. Praise Your holy name. Thank You that You have promised the sufficiency of your wonderful grace to support us through this wilderness walk on earth. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Sharing a quote of Truth from the niece of MLK Jr., Alveda King, who was born again. She has a strong testimony of her salvation and is an advocate for the pre-born.
“Abortion and racism are both symptoms of a fundamental human error. The error is thinking that when someone stands in the way of our wants, we can justify getting that person out of our lives. Abortion and racism stem from the same poisonous root, selfishness.”
—Alveda King
Thank you Jeanbl! God bless you!
“The hope of a Christian is inseparable from his faith. Whoever believes in the divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures must hope that the religion of Jesus shall prevail throughout the earth. Never since the foundation of the world have the prospects of mankind been more encouraging to that hope than they appear to be at the present time. And may the associated distribution of the Bible proceed and prosper till the Lord shall have made ‘bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God’ (Isaiah 52:10).”
—John Quincy Adams
Thank you Jane Long! God bless you!!
Romans 5:3-5
More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
AMen to your prayer. Lord Jesus, may the elections be honest and no longer dishonest. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Thank you Bigg Red! God bless you!
“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”

Thank you Lakeside Granny! God bless you!
Proverbs 10:9
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.
Lord Jesus, may the elections be honest and no longer dishonest. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Amen, norsky! Praying in agreement. Lord Jesus, we need Your Truth.
“Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God ... What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be.”
—John Adams
Amen!
FATHER, we pray Your Will be done; thank You for all things
both great and small. In the Name of Jesus. AMEN!

Psalm 98
A Psalm.
1 O sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvelous things.
His right hand and his holy arm
have gained him victory.
2 The Lord has made known his victory;
he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness
to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the victory of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
break forth into joyous song and sing praises.
5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and the sound of melody.
6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn
make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.
7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
the world and those who live in it.
8 Let the floods clap their hands;
let the hills sing together for joy
9 at the presence of the Lord, for he is coming
to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with equity.
Amen.
Amen
Thank you redryder_90! God bless you!!
Prayer For All Who Reject The Truth Of God’s Word
Heavenly Father, I lift up all those who have rejected the truth of Your Word and are seeking after the humanistic ways of the world. Lord, I know that Satan is the father of lies and his great desire is to lead many away from the path of truth in Christ Jesus. I ask Lord, that You would thwart his malicious plans, and use the satanic agenda and the humanistic lies that are hurting so many people, to be the very instrument that will cause many to question the values that they have held dear, and to turn them from their worldly ways and seek the Lord Jesus while He may be found, for He is the One and Only Truth and He is the Way and the Life and the Light, and He is the only Hope for mankind.
Raise up I pray, an army of prayer warriors that will be prepared to seek Your face and to stand in the gap for those that have been swept into the lies of the humanistic agenda. May the truth of Your Word become a beacon of light to those that are in need of a Saviour, and I pray that the lies of the enemy will be exposed so that many that are heading for an eternity of separation from the Father, may be swept into the kingdom of His dear Son, to Your praise and glory.
Your Word is truth. May the truth of Your Word ring in the ears of all who are perishing and bring many perishing people to salvation. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

For America In A Time Of National Crisis
Dear Father, there is much happening with our nation at the moment as we are facing a time of crises. The nation seems to be teetering on the edge of destruction and our government seems to have little ability or will to reverse what is coming upon our land and its citizens. Lord, there is increasing unrest and we ask that You guide our nation through this difficult period.
Lord, we pray for all in authority over our land and ask that You would lead and guide the decisions they are to make in this time of crises. We ask that those in leadership positions would be given the wisdom and ability to address all that is looming on the home-front at this present time. Give them grace to govern according to Your will, and may they not be motivated by self-interest, greed or party politics, but rather may they be led to guide our nation onto the path of peace and safety that only comes from You.
Protect all those that are in any way at risk or are suffering from lack or from fear of what is happening in this time of national crises. May we as a people unite together under Your banner of truth, to support and encourage each other, as we face this national crises together, as one nation under God.
Amen.

Thank you DarthVader for posting Psalm 98. I’m thankful that we can live in Victory in Christ, right here and right now! God bless you!
Prayer Of Thanks For Spiritual Victory
Not in ourselves Lord, but in the power of the Lord Jesus Christ we praise Your name, for by His death and resurrection He has broken the power of sin and death, and gained the greatest spiritual victory over principalities and powers, which will finally reach its ultimate conclusion when the last enemy, death, is finally placed under His feet. How can we ever praise and thank You enough for what You have done for each one of us, through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, in Whose name we pray,
Amen.

Prayer For An Abundant Life
Thank You, Father, that Christ is the good Shepherd of the sheep and that in Him we have life and we have it in great abundance.
Thank You, that the Lord Jesus gave His life so that through Him, we might have newness of life and fullness of life, and thank You that He is the One that cares for each of His own and that there is nothing that can snatch us out of His hand.
I thank You that no matter what difficulties or dangers I face, the life I have in Christ is a superabundant life, with eternal consequences.
Thank You, that only in Christ does my earthly life have true meaning and I pray that the life that I now live in this body of flesh may be lived by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me. I pray that this life may be honouring to You, in thought word and deed. In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
