Father, we thank You for Your word and the truth You have revealed to us in it. We thank You for Your incredibility gracious gift of salvation that You have made available to all and that that makes us Your children. Thank You that You actually even instruct us to come to You with our requests and needs because You care for us.
Please give us the strength to live the lives You have called us to. You've set the bar really high and we know that we cannot attain it in our own strength. Help us to look to You for that ability and strength and let us shine in this increasingly dark and corrupt world to bring glory to You.
Please work in the hearts and minds of all believers to do Your will.
In Jesus' Name, AMEN!
Amen. Adding my prayers. God bless.
Amen. Thank you for your beautiful prayer. 🙏
Oh, and thanks for all the prayers for my request. I wish I could respond to all the FReepmails, but just am not able to, but know that the prayers are deeply appreciated and felt.
Amen.

Amen !!! <><
Psalm 47
To the leader. Of the Korahites. A Psalm.
1 Clap your hands, all you peoples;
shout to God with loud songs of joy.
2 For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome,
a great king over all the earth.
3 He subdued peoples under us,
and nations under our feet.
4 He chose our heritage for us,
the pride of Jacob whom he loves.
Selah
5 God has gone up with a shout,
the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the king of all the earth;
sing praises with a psalm.*
8 God is king over the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
9 The princes of the peoples gather
as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
he is highly exalted.
Amen

Troparion
Let us praise Tikhon, the patriarch of all Russia, / and enlightener of North America / an ardent follower of the Apostolic traditions, / and good pastor of the Church of Christ. / Who was elected by divine providence, / and laid down his life for his sheep. / Let us sing to him with faith and hope, / and ask for his hierarchical intercessions: / Keep the church in Russia in tranquility, / and the church in North America in peace. / Gather her scattered children into one flock, / bring to repentance those who have renounced the True Faith, / preserve our lands from civil strife, / and entreat God’s peace for all people!
Kontakion
Today the assembly of New Martyrs / stands together with us in the Church / and together we raise a festive song / celebrating the uncovering of the relics of our Hierarch Father Tikhon / who defeated the enemy and preserved the Faith / While protecting the flock entrusted to him. / For he ever prays for us all / that we may never be deprived of the Love of God.
Amen metmom! Praying in agreement!
Prayer for my Sister’s Health and Healing
Heavenly Lord, I come to You today to lift up my dear sister, whose health is failing badly and who needs Your touch of healing on her life. Lord, I know that You are the Giver of life You know exactly what is the problem from which my sister is suffering, and I pray that in a wonderful way You would touch her and heal her as only You can.
Father, I know that You have power to heal and sometimes to choose to heal a person and at other times Your will is to be an ever-present Help in the midst of our distresses. I ask Lord, that whatever the reason for my sister’s deteriorating health that You would give her the sufficient grace that You have promised to all Your children, so that you demonstrate not only to them but to those that have to do with them an amazing grace that only You can provide.
Nevertheless Father, I pray that You will see fit to heal my sister and to raise her to full health and strength, but may Your perfect will be done in her life and we will give you all the praise and all the glory, for You alone are worthy to recover our worship and praise. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
