A Prayer for An America that Is Without God We praise You Almighty God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for You alone are God, and there is no other God than You. We pray this day for our nation, the United States of America. We pray that You would pour out Your Spirit on America and on those of its leaders who are faithful. The nation is experiencing turmoil, difficulty, war, and disillusionment. We pray, therefore, Lord, for Your outpouring to be recognized by all our people. We pray that You would make clear to them Your will, so that...

Heavenly Father, You are the real founder of all nations, raising them up to serve and care for the people dwelling within their boundaries. I thank You for making me a citizen of this land that has been a land of freedom and unlimited opportunity---all the result of its Christian undergirding and its Christian people. Send forth your Spirit to this country and make it again a source of wisdom and strength, order and integrity throughout the world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land Almighty God, our hearts are humbled in your presence. We bow before Your leadership and submit to Your will. We pray for Your way and not our Way, O Lord, no matter how dark it may be. Lead us by Your own hand, and choose the path for us. Let it be smooth or rough, and that...

Hi, I feel like I have relied on FR so much recently. Everything is breaking down around here. My husband checked himself into a hospital a couple of days ago; he needs heart bypass surgery. My son and daughter are in the Gaspe peninsula visiting their grandmother. They will come back in a week, except my son will be stopping in Montreal to go to college. Our house is falling apart; we have no exterior back wall and the insurance won't pay for it, that will cost $15K Canadian. I am a lawyer in Colorado, but don't really know the...

473 days until liberty begins to be restored!

Popular Christian singer Amy Grant is pro-life on the issue of abortion, but she recently announced she is teaming up with one of the most pro-abortion foundations that shuttled millions towards abortions and abortion businesses. In an opinion column on Fox News’ web site, Grant announced she is partnering with the Gates Foundation to push birth control and contraception in impoverished nations. Grant said she hosted pro-abortion Melinda Gates recently at a Christian event in Nashville, Tennessee to discuss their partnership.

Radio host Michael Medved revealed on his website today that he was diagnosed with throat cancer last month. He writes, “I always knew that it would take something serious to keep me away from the microphone I cherish for an extended period of time. As it turns out, I am facing something serious. It’s called cancer." Medved was diagnosed with stage three throat cancer and said that it’s actually a highly curable form of cancer. And while he’d been able to keep his radio show going as he underwent treatment, Medved says he’s taking a leave of absence from his...

A statement from the U.S. Navy says two crewmen bailed out of a Marine Corps aircraft on Wednesday when it lost power on takeoff from the USS Makin Island. The pilot of the MV-22 Osprey was able to regain control and land safely aboard the ship. The Navy says the other crewman who bailed out was rescued and is in stable condition.

A dear church friend (and veteran) was in Washington this week on an Honor Flight to see the WWII memorial and other sights and had a mini-stroke, a second one in his long life. Praise God his escort was a EMT, and they were minutes away from a very good hospital, but prayers, please. He will have to do speech therapy but all limbs are good. I know this will shake him because he has recently recovered from the last one, but again, praise God that he was in exactly the right place to have it treated immediately.

I have a prayer request. I am having cancer surgery on Sept 16. Less than two weeks away. I'm having a mastectomy, with reconstruction. It all gets done (or at least started) on the table. Please pray for my fear, which is usually at the manageable level. And that I make it through surgery. I'll be in the hospital for one day. I opted to stay with my surgical oncologist that operated on me two years ago (cancer then too) for many reasons, one being he's THE breast cancer surgeon in Middle GA. Trouble is, after I was diagnosed, I've...

My friend Roy is in a very tight spot. She has diabetes and got a really bad infection in her left leg, she has been seeing he dr. regularly to try and fix it with meds but it's getting worse. Today she got on and I asked how she was. She told me that her dr. wants her in the hospital but sadly there was no room in the hospital where she is. She will be going to the hospital in 2 days when a room is open and saved for her. Please pray for a safe recovery of what...

I just saw this announced in a streamer over the golf game on TV, sent text to my daughter, who is shopping in another town and had no idea. She and her husband are racing home. Their home is very close to this fire. Please join me in praying for all who live near this fire and especially for Katy and Fred and their dogs. May they stay free of fire, dear Lord, and damages of every kind. Thanks so much, Veto!

More prayer needed for my family. My son was having troubles with the side of his big toe, at the edge of the toenail...I took him to urgent care/walk-in clinic and they said he had an infection and we should soak it in epsom salts, keep it clean and keep the toenails cut even. They gave him some antibiotics. He went to camp the first week of June and when he came home, the other foot had sores on both sides of the big toe! ...and the first toe was worse. We cleaned them the same as the other foot,...

Please Join our family in prayer: Almighty Father, please heal our sister Dolly: send Your Angels to guide her physicians and surgeons, and to guard against all evil as she undergoes quadruple bypass surgery and recovers. Please ease her worries and those of her entire family by granting Your Peace, especially to her mother, her sisters, and her husband, and take care of her needs and those of her loved ones during this difficult time as only You can. I ask this in the Holy Name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.

Asking for prayer for a young lady by the name of Tami. She has cancer and is undergoing treatment. She is the daughter of the lady who stopped for my nephew, Ronnie, when he fell asleep at the wheel driving home from AZ. They were behind Ronnie, on their way to Bethesda, MD, for cancer treatments, saw the accident, and stopped to help...and even drove him to Maryland where his family could pick him up. He is well. They were his miracle. Now, that family deserves a miracle. Let's pray for one. Thank you all.

I hope I am posting this in the right area. I don't post much, but am asking for your thoughts and prayers for my 13 year old son who is about to go through his 2nd kidney transplant due to FSGS. He has been battling this since he was 3 years old. My son, Joshua will be admitted to the hospital this morning for surgery to install a catheter into his neck/chest and also shut down his transplanted kidney that he received from his dad 3 years ago. He will then stay at the hospital for the next few weeks...

I have faith that the implant is going to help me...when they took the trial away it was like taking candy from a baby...it was cruel! And waiting so long for the permanent one is cruel too. I am praying I am making the right decision in getting this done. It’s a huge step and one that I struggled with at first. I remember the few days I had the temporary unit in my spine, my legs didn’t hurt, I could lay on my sides and they didn’t hurt! My right hip still hurt like crazy and my back was...

In the past 100 years, the number of Australians reporting on the national census that they have "no religion" has jumped from one in 250 in 1911 to more than one in five in 2011. In addition, many of those who nominate a religious affiliation do not actively participate in religious activities. The latest Australian ­Bureau of Statistics social trends report provides the first in-depth look at the 2011 census data on religion. "Rates of reporting no religion have been steadily rising, and Australia is not alone in this - rates are also rising for countries like New Zealand, England...
