Join together with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Author-ity 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
Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.
Heavenly Father, it seems that as each day dawns there is more confusion and chaos. The liars are out in full force in every aspect of our lives. You have called us to repent and to overcome. Strengthen our faith. We put all our trust in You. You are a promise keeper and a way maker.
Therefore, be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. (Rev. 3:20-21)
We pray for the safety of all the innocent people who are caught up in the current conflict. Protect them and their families from harm and draw them close to You. Cause Your enemy’s actions to stumble and fail.
We pray for the restoration of the rightfully elected officials in our own government as well. Lord, expose all the wickedness of this current administration and strengthen the hearts of the people to stand strong against it. We specifically pray for the truckers and their supporters who are moving across this nation. Send Your angel armies to guide and protect them as they battle for our freedoms.
Help us, Lord, to be watchful of our current events. Help us to discern the truth from the lies. Send an awakening to Your churches and a cleansing fire of the Holy Spirit. We pray for a great revival in this land.
Thank You, Father, for Your word. Give us a deeper understanding of the lessons You have for us as we try to dig deeper into each verse every day. We give You praise, honor, and glory for Your faithfulness and Your grace and mercy to us.
We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

REQUEST FROM A RUSSIAN CHRISTIAN Facebook | 2/28/2022 | pilgrimsprogress Posted on 2/28/2022, 10:44:43 AM by Pilgrim's Progress This is not original with me but relayed by a Christian minister from a Russian brother in Christ.
I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE PRAYING FOR UKRAINE. This is absolutely right. Praise the Lord!
The problem, however, is that ego always seeks an enemy, and for Christians designating “Russia” as the enemy is a mistake.
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO PRAY FOR RUSSIA AS WELL. HERE'S WHY:
1. "Russia" didn't start the war in Ukraine. Russia is MUCH more than President Putin, political establishment, oligarchs, military... We do need to pray for every man, especially for "For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty..." 1 Tim 2:1-4. We need to pray for those who are making decisions in Russia that they humble themselves before the God of Heaven and accept Christ as their Savior. So they stop bloodshed and seek peace. Matthew 5:9
2. Jesus’ desire is for all men to be saved. This includes Russian soldiers, many of whom have been brainwashed to go and kill their brothers. Russian “compliance enforcement” machine is so brutal, that many are afraid of prison more than of dying. It is illegal in Russia to report on anything associated with Russian military, including physical abuse (hazing), official corruption, morale… Contradicting the official “story” carries a heavy sentence. That’s why 34 journalists were murdered in Russia since 2000 (compared to 2 in China and 3 in the US during the same period).
3. Russian economy is badly damaged by sanctions and there are a lot of innocent people that are affected by this, who have nothing to do with the military actions — pensioners, children, students, people with special needs, average families... They have to deal with increased inflation, debit cards being blocked, gas stations rationing fuel, banks putting limits on the amount of cash that customers could withdraw...
4. About 30% of people in Russia have relatives in Ukraine. Many Russians are against the war and are protesting and getting arrested. The penalties to them can be severe. Many are too scared to let their voice heard. Those that support the war, may be misled by blatant and persuasive propaganda that is 24/7 on Russian news channels. There are no independent (from the government control or censorship) news outlets in Russia. As a matter of fact, it is now illegal to use media (video, audio), that has not come from Russian official sources.
5. As believers, we are called to spread the Good News and point people to the Lord. Any news or circumstances that are taking attention (both of believers as well as those whom they witness to) from this are detrimental to the Gospel. Satan can use the current situation to grow fear, discontent, anger, false idea of enemies...
Please pray for Russia
Thank you for reposting this most important request! God years and answers prayer according to His will.
Prayers up ❤ 🙏
Amen
Amen
Agreeing with you in prayer.
Anen!
Amen.
Jonah comes to mind.
Amen, John4.11
God is Good.
Joining in prayer for our beloved America...and Candada and Ukraine...and Russia...and Israel...and the world.
May all that has been concealed be revealed. May the righteousness be raised to leadership and the people follow.
In Jesus Name
Amen
Also, in our own and the world’s best interests to pray for Russia. Fertilizer and Oil production worldwide.
Lord, they (those behind the propaganda and the cutting off of and downfall of Russia) are trying to take down one of the largest oil and wheat producing countries on earth. We pray for them both.
We ask the truth come out quickly.
In Jesus’ Name, amen.
Amen
Lifting the people of Russia and the people of Ukraine in prayer. Lord, we know that the people did not start a war. State departments start wars and the people suffer, just as we would suffer here, should the war come to our homeland.
Lord, as the world goes mad, we join together in prayer and ask that more people will come to know Jesus as their Savior. We ask that we may be of service, to share the Good News. We ask for the conviction and repentance of leaders who are taking us down these dark and destructive paths.
We ask in the name of Jesus. Amen
Amen to every word of your love filled prayer
Let us continue going about the Father’s business.
Let us extend His light into this dark world.
Let us share the joy to be called a child of God.
Thank You for the mercy and the hope that is in the name of Jesus. Amen
Amen
absolutely beautiful graphic
Meaning, as "pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall," (Proverbs 16:18) and "The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days," (Proverbs 28:16) and prideful Putin is a oppressor of your people and the weak, the may he be turned back and heed, "thus saith the Lord; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings," (Jeremiah 21:12) But the Lord's will be done, whose ways are past finding all out, and far higher than ours.
AMEN.
Amen! God bless.
