[stars & stripes forever]

Join together with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. ~ 1 Timothy 2:1-2

FATHER GOD,

Thank You for the wonder and miracle of CHRISTMAS! Thank You for Your great LOVE for us and Your great SACRIFICE! You sent Your only Son, JESUS CHRIST, to be the SAVIOR of the world! He lay down His life as a ransom for sinners and arose victoriously over sin and death! All who believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life!

As we celebrate with family and friends and spread goodwill towards others this Christmas season, help us to be ever mindful of the REASON for the SEASON. May we use this time to proclaim the SAVIOR'S birth and spread the GOOD NEWS of JESUS CHRIST.

The world is trying its best to extinguish the LIGHT of CHRIST during Christmastime through secular frivolity and competing pseudo gods like Santa Claus. Satanic disclaimers and statues now have a place next to nativity scenes in our nation's state houses. But this we know concerning JESUS: the LIGHT of CHRIST endures forever!

Though we have many reasons to rejoice today, Lord, we also know CHRISTMAS can be a "not-so-merry" holiday for people who are experiencing relational, financial, spiritual, and physical loss. We lift up those who yearn for prodigals to return and unsaved loved ones to know salvation; those who have estranged friends and family members; those who are alone; those who are unemployed or are grieving the loss of a loved one; those who suffer from addictions, Covid-19, and chronic sickness, and people with unending pain and frustrations of all kinds. Pour out Your SPIRIT upon them, LORD. Draw close to them. Cause them to cast their cares upon You. Help them see that You are REASON for the SEASON. You are the WONDERFUL COUNSELOR and PRINCE OF PEACE in the midst of their "not-so-merry" circumstances.

We lift up those who are in authority and their families during the holiday season that there may be peace in our land. May those who govern us look to You for Wisdom and strength. LORD, just as You intervened on behalf of George Washington as he crossed the icy Delaware on Christmas with his ragtag patriots, have mercy on us. Shine the light of TRUTH on those whose desire is to bring America to its knees. Expose their sinister plots and bring each and every one to JUSTICE. Protect our borders. Only You can return America to its Spiritual roots. Do what it takes. Our hope and trust are in You.

Draw close to the political January 6 prisoners who suffer in jail. Free them, LORD! Let this injustice cease!

Be with our men and women in uniform wherever they may be. Bless, comfort, and protect them and their families. Fill their loneliness with Your Love.

Finally, LORD, grant us peace. Peace in our homes, peace in our churches, and peace in our hearts, when the world all around us seems out-of-control. Help us to stay focused on You, this Christmastime and always. Thank You for loving the whole world enough to send the GREATEST GIFT, Your Son.

Merry Christmas, JESUS.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Beautiful Christmas presentation in these dark times.

Joining in prayer for our beloved America and our people.

Special grace for the vulnerable whose woes may be exasperated by this season. May they find comfort and have their needs met—spiritually as well as physically.

Thank You, Jesus, for dwelling among us and saving us, giving us eternal life.

And we look for Your second coming to abide with You forever.

Dear Lord, we beseech thee to purge the monstrous Satanic evil that has seized control of our institutions and government ! Bring these evil individuals to justice ! Strike down these wicked individuals and institutions that blatantly and audaciously lie to the public about their true (evil) intentions while painting good people as the real enemy !

Do not let these servants of darkness prevail over your children ! Send forth your angels to liberate us, oh, Lord ! Hear our cries and help us, please, dear Lord !

AMEN !
