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)
ONLY WITH JESUS CAN YOU REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL!
Heavenly Father, The trials and tribulations of today seem to be blatant signs that the United States of America can now be considered a divided nation. Instead of looking to You for guidance and direction, it has gone its own way . . . .shedding the principles and precepts upon which this nation was founded. We were a nation that stood for freedom and liberty and the importance of faith. Now we are a purveyor of evil around the globe. Each era in America has had its own niche of turning its back on Your Word. . .but the despairing times of today outweigh them all . . .as in the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah. The daily headlines are disturbing. . .atrocious attacks on our sovereignty, livelihood and personal safety and well being.
We ask You to bestow truth and justice on those who have been persecuted, prosecuted unfairly in our judicial system. Please provide hope for them and their families. We come against the indoctrination of people of all ages who have become oblivious to the wiles of the evil one's desire to control their very being.
We pray for righteous intercession among the brethren for all facets of society especially in family, churches and government. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16)
We ask for Your Divine Intervention for those as well as their families who have fallen victim to health issues, storms, floods, financial issues, dangerous or broken relationships, physical attacks, sex trafficking, fires, murder, rape, abortions, loneliness, intentional disasters and intentional medical malpractice. Please protect those in the military who find themselves under misguided leadership.
We call upon You to please unveil any evil intentions that would disrupt our election process. We pray that only American citizens are allowed to be part of the process and that each prayerfully consider those candidates that truly align with God’s Word relative to abortion, marriage, and protecting religious freedom.
Holy Spirit, please help us be mindful of the needs of others, emphasizing to them that the most important need in life is a personal relationship with Jesus. Guide us as we fulfill those Divine Appointments You provide daily.
Have Your Way with us, Lord!
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
Power, all power, surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o’er my being absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.
We love You Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit and are thankful for Your constant presence in our lives.
In Jesus Name, Amen

Psalm 130
A Song of Ascents.
1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my supplications!
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you may be revered.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
8 It is he who will redeem Israel
from all its iniquities.
Amen!!! AMEN!!!... hear our prayer Oh Lord...revive us again, fill each heart with THY LOVE!!!
Oh I SO agree that we have tossed hymns aside for worship songs. I do love worship songs too but we have tossed the cream aside for the skim milk.
Amen, Maudeen

Prayers for our Nation, prayers to rebuke the spirit of anti-Christ rising up across the world.
Rebuke this spirit whose father Satan desires two things to happen to all of us to steal away the inheritance of Jesus and our part with him upon the physical Earth.
A - To divide the land for gain and break the Everlasting Covenant which God made with every living creature upon the Earth.
B- To place a Mark of ownership upon all of us.

Troparion
The Noble Joseph, / when he had taken down Your most pure Body from the tree, / wrapped it in fine linen, / and anointed it with spices, / and placed it in a new tomb.
Troparion
When You descended to death, O Life Immortal, / You slayed hell with the splendor of Your Godhead, / and when from the depths You raised the dead, / all the Powers of Heaven cried out, / O Giver of Life, Christ our God, glory to You!
Troparion
The Angel came to the myrrh-bearing women at the tomb and said: / “Myrrh is fitting for the dead, / but Christ has shown Himself a stranger to corruption.”
Kontakion
He who shut in the depths is beheld dead, / wrapped in fine linen and spices. / The Immortal One is laid in a tomb as a mortal man. / The women have come to anoint Him with myrrh, / weeping bitterly and crying: / “This is the most blessed Sabbath / on which Christ has fallen asleep to rise on the third day!”
Pascha (Orthodox Easter) has already come to the Holy Land! Orthodox Christians in Jerusalem have already received the Holy Fire, for distribution to Orthodox Churches throughout the world. We Americans await the Great Feast. Lord grant us your great blessing! Amen.
Amen! Please o Lord, have mercy on us and let it be so!
