Prayer Vigil For the Immigration Crisis

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. 1 Timothy 2: 1-2, RSV

Dear FRiends, I invite you to join us in a 24 hour a day prayer vigil to ask God's help and protection and guidance on the immigration issue before Congress.

Let us place our country's needs before our Father's throne of grace that the right actions will be taken to protect our country and keep it safe.

We are asking for people to be willing to pray for at least 1/2 hours blocks. I will organize this on a 7 day schedule, to continue to rotate until the crisis is resolved. If you can, please consider pledging at the same time each day, but if you can't let me know your schedule. It will go on until this issue is settled.

If you want to pledge, let me know your time choices, and let me know your time zone!

6. But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to the LORD.
7. The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.
8. "Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day--in that they have forsaken Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you also.
9. "Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of the king who will reign over them."
10. So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who had asked of him a king.
11. He said, "This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and they will run before his chariots.
12. "He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
13. "He will also take your daughters for perfumers and cooks and bakers.
14. "He will take the best of your fields and your vineyards and your olive groves and give them to his servants.
15. "He will take a tenth of your seed and of your vineyards and give to his officers and to his servants.
16. "He will also take your male servants and your female servants and your best young men and your donkeys and use them for his work.
17. "He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants.
18. "Then you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day."

"You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

"You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect."

Matthew 5:43-48

I am leaving on a Mission Trip to Ukraine one week from today and will be gone for 3 1/2 weeks. As soon as I figure out the time zone there, I will let you know the time(s) you can put me down for this prayer vigil. ;o)

Thank you so much for doing this.

19: And all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king."

20: And Samuel said to the people, "Fear not; you have done all this evil, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

21: and do not turn aside after vain things which cannot profit or save, for they are vain.

22: For the LORD will not cast away his people, for his great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for himself.

23: Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you; and I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

24: Only fear the LORD, and serve him faithfully with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you.

25: But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king."

I Samuel 12:19-25

Victor Davis Hanson: Our Brave New World of Immigration

Thank you, dear Knitting, for the various posts from Scripture and prayer. This thread will become part of my Vigil hour, and I will read it again and again in whispered prayer. May our hearts be broken before the Throne of Grace, for a broken and contrite heart, He will not despise. Psalm 51:17.

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in.

Abraham Lincoln


O God, O Abba, our heavenly Father,
grant to the leaders of our country
wisdom, courage and insight at this time of darkness and unrest and fear and war.

Give to all all of those who exercise authority
determination to defend the principles of leading their people wisely, through your guidance,
help give them the strength to protect and safeguard the innocent,
deal well with the wicked,
and protect their charges as you would have them do.
Remind them of the importance of acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with you as they fulfill their duties,
And fill their hearts with the knowledge of the way you would have them go.

This we ask through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Thank you. If I may humbly ask "specifically" for the hearts of the orphans and their caretakers to be open to the "Great News" that we are bringing them.

I will continue to pray for our leaders to uphold and enforce the law...if it be God's will.

He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
Proverbs 28:9

[Quix]

Dear Lord, God, Almighty . . . and all the ships at sea . . .

LET GOD ARISE AND HIS ENEMIES BE SCATTERED!

May the liars, traitors, demonized, satanic globalists be exposed for what they are, who they are and what their goals and aims are.

May the blinders fall from the eyes of at least all those who call themselves Christians.

May corruption at every level be exposed, excised, burned out and sent to the pit.

May humble, balanced, wise, Spirit-filled Believers in our Lord Jesus The Christ take over positions of power and influence in every level of government; in the media; in the military; in universities; and particularly in all areas having to do with immigration.

In Jesus' Precious Name. So let it be said. So let it be done.
