AMERICA Prayer Vigil - February 20, 2024 (Prayer)

Join 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

Jacob called for his sons . . . and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them,

giving each the blessing appropriate to him. (from Genesis 49)

[Jeanbl]

First and foremost, thank YOU Dear GOD, our ETERNAL and BELOVED ABBA FATHER, whose Mercy and Grace know no boundaries, is not a respecter of any person, whose compassions and lovingkindness never fails, and whose love is so powerful that it melts the most stubborn of hearts to respond back in love. For indeed, we love, ONLY because YOU HAVE FIRST LOVED US.

Dear FATHER, we pray today most sincerely for all the children in our Nation, and in the world for that matter, who never once, ever experienced or heard a father’s blessing over them. Families intact, living life from day to day, yes, enjoying themselves, and doing OK, but lack in what truly is meaningful and will be eternally significant to both their wellbeing and future existence. And then there’s those who have been neglected of the goodness and glory of the family that YOU designed from the beginning of creation. Children caught up in the stressful environment of battling parents, children victims of revenge and bitterness between biological mothers and fathers, and have no meaningful connection to either. Thrown in confusion and lies so that their hearts know no truth, and no direction toward the ultimate TRUTH, our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Children left with an empty hunger that first was the responsibly of a parent to nurture and then bring them to realize their need and hunger for the LORD. Those who only hear the Name of the LORD in a curse word or a gest. If not a blessing, what possibly could a parent leave behind to a children that has any real meaning? Money is cold and last but a season, but blessings are gifts of identity and purpose. We thank YOU FATHER, for the many wonderful and powerful gifts YOU have given each of us and our children, in our walk and desire to love and serve YOU inside the family of GOD.

So LORD, we lift up YOUR WORD in Prayer and Power for those children who are left to their own in their pathways to knowing YOU:

“When my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up. Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path. (Ps. 27:10-11).”

And PRECIOUS FATHER, DEAR LORD, because we are in CHRIST, and now are made Priests unto our GOD, we join hands and we join hearts, and we pray a BLESSING over all those children in our Nation who have never been blessed or prayed upon before:

“The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The Lord look on you with favor and give you peace. In this way they will put my name on them, and I will bless them.” In Jesus Name, AMEN.

Oh Lord, the left has declared war against family and against children.
In this deteriorating society, children are more vulnerable than ever.
Lord, we pray protection over them.
We pray that they will find Jesus.

Psalm 35

Of David.

1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me!
2 Take hold of shield and buckler,
and rise up to help me!
3 Draw the spear and javelin
against my pursuers;
say to my soul,
‘I am your salvation.’

4 Let them be put to shame and dishonour
who seek after my life.
Let them be turned back and confounded
who devise evil against me.
5 Let them be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the Lord driving them on.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

7 For without cause they hid their net* for me;
without cause they dug a pit* for my life.
8 Let ruin come on them unawares.
And let the net that they hid ensnare them;
let them fall in it—to their ruin.

9 Then my soul shall rejoice in the Lord,
exulting in his deliverance.
10 All my bones shall say,
‘O Lord, who is like you?
You deliver the weak
from those too strong for them,
the weak and needy from those who despoil them.’

11 Malicious witnesses rise up;
they ask me about things I do not know.
12 They repay me evil for good;
my soul is forlorn.
13 But as for me, when they were sick,
I wore sackcloth;
I afflicted myself with fasting.
I prayed with head bowed* on my bosom,
14 as though I grieved for a friend or a brother;
I went about as one who laments for a mother,
bowed down and in mourning.

15 But at my stumbling they gathered in glee,
they gathered together against me;
ruffians whom I did not know
tore at me without ceasing;
16 they impiously mocked more and more,*
gnashing at me with their teeth.

17 How long, O Lord, will you look on?
Rescue me from their ravages,
my life from the lions!
18 Then I will thank you in the great congregation;
in the mighty throng I will praise you.

19 Do not let my treacherous enemies rejoice over me,
or those who hate me without cause wink the eye.
20 For they do not speak peace,
but they conceive deceitful words
against those who are quiet in the land.
21 They open wide their mouths against me;
they say, ‘Aha, Aha,
our eyes have seen it.’

22 You have seen, O Lord; do not be silent!
O Lord, do not be far from me!
23 Wake up! Bestir yourself for my defence,
for my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 Vindicate me, O Lord, my God,
according to your righteousness,
and do not let them rejoice over me.
25 Do not let them say to themselves,
‘Aha, we have our heart’s desire.’
Do not let them say, ‘We have swallowed you* up.’

26 Let all those who rejoice at my calamity
be put to shame and confusion;
let those who exalt themselves against me
be clothed with shame and dishonour.

27 Let those who desire my vindication
shout for joy and be glad,
and say evermore,
‘Great is the Lord,
who delights in the welfare of his servant.’
28 Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness
and of your praise all day long.

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in and acknowledge and cleave to Me to stumble and sin [that is, who entices him or hinders him in right conduct or thought], it would be better (more expedient and profitable or advantageous) for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be sunk in the depth of the sea.”
