Tangled lines.

Recently I had an experience that I think applies to the current national situation. The thought tangles lines bothered me the night prior to fishing. Indeed that is what happened the next day right from the start. Some of it was because I did not pay attention and was not careful. Then as I came home and observed the political drama the 'tangled lines' thought came back to mind. Obstruction, chaos, manipulated news that inflames hatred and fear, piled on every day to prevent our President from being successful.

Dear Lord Jesus, I pray that your people would wake up to all these warnings and seek your face. You say in your word, "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8. We come against this spirit of chaos, political wickedness and destruction in your name.

Dear Lord Jesus we pray for your wisdom and strategies to bring peace and purpose back to our nation. We lift of our President and his staff, may they not back down and cower to the intimidation of those working against you....

Lord Jesus, unclean spirits of violence, hatred, heresy, lies, ideology, confusion, inversion of evil over good, oppress our land. The minds of unknown numbers of people, many calling themselves Christian, are filled with darkness. Please Lord, have mercy upon this land. Break the powers of darkness and heal our people. Let them see and think clearly. Let them be people who can see reason where only unreason prevails. In our Lord Jesus Christs name we pray. Amen

Lord, please remove from political position all who work evil by whatever means you see fit. We don’t trust the electoral process any more as we know many have cheated their way into office.

Please expose the fraud and have someone do something about it.

And if removing them by vote isn’t going to work, please remove them by whatever means you deem necessary.

In Jesus Name, Amen

AMEN.

Our offenses are many in Your sight, and our sins testify against us. Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities: rebellion and treachery against the Lord, turning our backs on our GOD, inciting revolt and oppression, uttering lies our hearts have conceived.

So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter. Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. ~ Isaiah 59:12-15

Amen!!!

Psalm 107

1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures for ever.
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
those he redeemed from trouble
3 and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.*

4 Some wandered in desert wastes,
finding no way to an inhabited town;
5 hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted within them.
6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress;
7 he led them by a straight way,
until they reached an inhabited town.
8 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
9 For he satisfies the thirsty,
and the hungry he fills with good things.

10 Some sat in darkness and in gloom,
prisoners in misery and in irons,
11 for they had rebelled against the words of God,
and spurned the counsel of the Most High.
12 Their hearts were bowed down with hard labour;
they fell down, with no one to help.
13 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress;
14 he brought them out of darkness and gloom,
and broke their bonds asunder.
15 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
16 For he shatters the doors of bronze,
and cuts in two the bars of iron.

17 Some were sick* through their sinful ways,
and because of their iniquities endured affliction;
18 they loathed any kind of food,
and they drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress;
20 he sent out his word and healed them,
and delivered them from destruction.
21 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
22 And let them offer thanksgiving sacrifices,
and tell of his deeds with songs of joy.

23 Some went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the mighty waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths;
their courage melted away in their calamity;
27 they reeled and staggered like drunkards,
and were at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out from their distress;
29 he made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad because they had quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wonderful works to humankind.
32 Let them extol him in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

33 He turns rivers into a desert,
springs of water into thirsty ground,
34 a fruitful land into a salty waste,
because of the wickedness of its inhabitants.
35 He turns a desert into pools of water,
a parched land into springs of water.
36 And there he lets the hungry live,
and they establish a town to live in;
37 they sow fields, and plant vineyards,
and get a fruitful yield.
38 By his blessing they multiply greatly,
and he does not let their cattle decrease.

39 When they are diminished and brought low
through oppression, trouble, and sorrow,
40 he pours contempt on princes
and makes them wander in trackless wastes;
41 but he raises up the needy out of distress,
and makes their families like flocks.
42 The upright see it and are glad;
and all wickedness stops its mouth.
43 Let those who are wise give heed to these things,
and consider the steadfast love of the Lord.

Lifting up each presidential debate, the vice presidential debate, and each moderator. From the very first to last: May Trump and Pence be the undeniable victors in both substance (ideas) and performance.

Prayers for the Holy Spirit to fill each event with His presence and for God’s favor to be on Trump and Pence as they respond to each question, lay out their vision for the country, and distinguish the conservative agenda from the darkness of the leftist one. Prayers that the distinctions made are unavoidable and stark. That the failings/corruptions and extremes of Biden, Harris, as well as the failings of liberal mayors and governors throughout the country be unavoidably spotlit for the viewing public. Esp as it pertains to Covid lockdowns and violence, and pre-Covid ills like decades long dereliction of cities like Baltimore.

Prayers that viewers’ consciences be stirred by the spirit of Truth, even those who don’t identify as conservative or who have sworn their hatred for the President and VP. That Christians especially be convicted by the choices set before them.

That all the Enemy’s attempts and shenanigans in trying to trip Trump and Pence up with ‘gotcha’ questions fail. And that their positions even on the most polarizing issues of the day: from abortion to immigration to gun control be articulated effectively and with heart.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.,

Lord God: We request this for our country and our leaders at this time:

Psalm 64

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

(Protect the people and stop the violent actions of the wicked seeking to incite civil war, Lord)

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

(Don’t let find, or hurt the defenseless any more, Lord)

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

(They are wounding and killing us by the pen, the sword, and the propaganda, Lord)

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

(Lord, they are operating very boldly with almost no fear and opposition by righteous men: the righteous are fearful and being suppressed - at least in the newsmedia and by law enforcement. Give us Your power and courage to stop this)

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

(They think You don’t see them, Lord. Please show Yourself to each and every one of them. Also, send us as witnesses to them, showing them they need salvation, not ungodly overthrow of a good government. Send Your Holy Spirit to convict them of the evil of their actions.)

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

(The violent search out and love violence and murder)

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

(Please do, Lord. Real quick)

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

(Return their violence and the fear they spread upon their own heads, and cause them to run away in fear)

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

(Help them to pause, become convicted of their sin, and seek You through Your Son Jesus Christ, believe upon Him, request forgiveness, and turn from their evil ways, and be saved. Turn their leaders also, Lord.)

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

In Jesus’ Name, amen.

Some of it was because I did not pay attention and was not careful.

Dear Lord, forgive us, we slept or were distracted by the cares of this world, and the enemy crept in. The enemy crept in and took control of our schools, our media, our government, our culture and so many institutions.

Oh Father God, as a nation we suffer the consequences of sending You to the back seat. Like the fishing line, we are tangled in obstruction, chaos, deception, hate and fear.

Father God, we ask that most people find this unacceptable. We ask that the depravity is enough, that more people will reject the ugly new normal. We ask that this be the time for a revival of Your Holy Spirit.

We pray these things in Jesus' beautiful name
