In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Father in heaven, We thank you for the grace and mercy You have lavished on us and for all the spiritual blessings You have given us. We thank You especially, for the privilege of being able to come into Your presence in prayer, and to bring our cares and concerns to You, even as You commanded us to do. We thank You that You know what we need before we even ask and are so willing to give it to us.
Please, give us hearts to seek You and to know Your will and how to pray for others and our country.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient towards you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
We do know that Your will is that all come to a place of repentance, so we ask that Your Holy Spirit work in the hearts and minds of unbelievers to convict them of sin, righteousness and judgment, and to remove from their hearts and minds the blindness and deception Satan have blinded them with.
Give us opportunities to share Your love with others and be faithful witnesses for You, even when we find it hard to love our enemies.
Proverbs 21:1 The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.
Please bring to repentance those in positions of authority over us and cause them to make righteous and just decisions. Let justice be done in this land. Protect the innocent from the attacks of the enemy who seeks to kill, steal, and destroy. Strengthen Your people for the work and Fill us with Your Holy Spirit. Let us see a harvest of souls like the church did on the day it was born, on the Day of Pentecost.
Thank you for giving us the privilege of being able to participate in Your work here.
In Jesus, name.

AMERICA Prayer Vigil PING LIST. To be added or removed from this PING LIST, post or FReep-Mail Stars & Stripes Forever
Every morning at breakfast, the TV blared constantly the most crass leftist propaganda and most of the people present sat like drug-dazed automatons receiving a morning fix.
It was frightening.
The TV propaganda was all dire, pessimistic, terrifying. The TV "reporters" seemed to believe the depressing, pessimistic propaganda they were broadcasting. Whether by design--or more likely by ignorance--the relentless reports seemed designed to instill fear--even panic--in the viewers. It appeared to succeed at this.
The people I talked with have serious problems with anxiety. I can understand why. They constantly subject themselves to a barrage of frightening propaganda. Many seem to believe it. Many are on anti-anxiety medication, even children.
Only half-jokingly, I was thinking: I'd be on anti-anxiety medication myself if I stayed here long enough!
The day I left, a lovely, kind woman asked if I were anxious about my departing flight. I explained that I dreaded the long trip, but that was all. She asked if I would like a few Xanex to relieve my anxiety. "Oh no," I replied, "I'm not anxious--just not looking forward to it." Actually, I was horrified at the thought of her casually offering a highly addictive drug--or any drug--to remedy anxiety.
Everybody seemed to be on the brink of panic. Children were chronically afraid.
One of the worst things the evil Democrat Party and its minions have brought about is this fear and anxiety--but it obviously serves the evil purposes of those who control them.
Not long ago, the attitude all over America was "can-do"--"good old American know-how!" This is the spirit that destroyed the evil Nazi regime in Germany and won the Cold War--which cured polio and created the miracle of flight--that made the USA the greatest, most just, most prosperous, most powerful nation in the history of the world.
What a contrast between
the USA that had to send her sons to war across in both Asia and Europe, at the same time, but proceeded with courage, optimism, and faith in both God and the righteousness of the nation they were preserving andToday--June 6--is a good day to reflect on all this.a nation trembling before such imaginary threats as "global warming," "the corona virus," "monkey pox," and "the inherent racism of the American People," and succumbing to such evils as drug abuse, open borders, infanticide, reparations, defunding the police, excusing massive election fraud, political prosecution, and corruption at all levels of the Federal Government--Congress, the Presidency, and the judiciary--and America's once-pristine and revered agencies and institutions!
This is the anniversary of the day when young American men--men? most of them were less than 21 years old!--walked directly into machine gun fire on the beaches of Normandy in order to rid the world of the evil of Naziism and to prevent such evil from ever conquering America!
The day America's sons sacrificed their lives!
Their courage will never be surpassed!
These young men gave their lives to save the greatest, most just, most blessed nation the world has ever known: the United State of America!
What a contrast are the sniveling, cowering, stupid, anti-American brats "protesting" this sacred nation and her sacred heritage in June 2022! How stupid they are!
But:
~Persevero~
Free Republic
June 4, 2022
Let this be our prayer today: that those dead shall not have died in vain! that the greatest, most just, most blessed nation ever to grace this world shall not be destroyed--from without or from within--shall not succumb to the evil of those who would destroy her--but shall live on as a blessing for all mankind.
Amen to your prayers and excellent Scripture choices!
Amen
Amen !!! <><
Psalm 17
A Prayer of David.
1 Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry;
give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit.
2 From you let my vindication come;
let your eyes see the right.
3 If you try my heart, if you visit me by night,
if you test me, you will find no wickedness in me;
my mouth does not transgress.
4 As for what others do, by the word of your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.
5 My steps have held fast to your paths;
my feet have not slipped.
6 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God;
incline your ear to me, hear my words.
7 Wondrously show your steadfast love,
O saviour of those who seek refuge
from their adversaries at your right hand.
8 Guard me as the apple of the eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings,
9 from the wicked who despoil me,
my deadly enemies who surround me.
10 They close their hearts to pity;
with their mouths they speak arrogantly.
11 They track me down;* now they surround me;
they set their eyes to cast me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion eager to tear,
like a young lion lurking in ambush.
13 Rise up, O Lord, confront them, overthrow them!
By your sword deliver my life from the wicked,
14 from mortals—by your hand, O Lord—
from mortals whose portion in life is in this world.
May their bellies be filled with what you have stored up for them;
may their children have more than enough;
may they leave something over to their little ones.
15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness;
when I awake I shall be satisfied, beholding your likeness.
Amen, metmom
