After I reposted greeneyes’ suggestion for dealing with negative emotion, someone sent me a pm about the America Prayer thread.

I had gone there in a fit of frustration a few days ago and just venting my concerns before God helped me restore my sense of balance. I think part of the balance I received from posting that prayer is I tried to see things more objectively before I posted because I didn’t want to just blast away at others’ more positive frame of mind - and that redirect started moving me toward a more productive frame of mind. I thought my prayer only served my irritation, and felt a bit apologetic about parking it on the America Prayer thread, but the writer of that email today said she went to the same thread and found the prayer too.

If we vent our frustration in prayer before God on the America prayer thread when we are really stressing out, maybe others will sometimes find support as well, in each others prayers.

I hadn't caught the quote about disinformation including re WWII in a Whitehouse.gov post today. ANother FReeper posted about it below:

Joint Statement by President Donald J. Trump and President Andrzej Duda

"We will also join efforts to combat disinformation, especially historical truths relating to WWII."

Is this aimed at the lies associated with the Katyn Forest incident? The Holodomor? The Holocaust?

I certainly hope this isn't some plan to ban certain forms of speech however objectionable. Hate speech laws are only put it place by people who hate free speech. Let's please not follow the path that Europe has. It has proven to be a very slippery slope.

Thanks for posting your prayer from the America Prayer Vigil. Sometimes those who respond early to the initial prayer miss the blessings of the other posts.

I am seeing many of our prayers being answered. PTL
