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

Heavenly Father –
As many had celebrated Passover, this week we celebrate Good Friday, and Easter.
We praise You, Lord and Redeemr, for Your plan of salvation. Purchasing us with Your own blood, redeeming us from the slavery of sin, setting us free to glorify You forever.
Days were dark while the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt. Likewise that Good Friday when our Lord was betrayed and crucified.
But
This sudden turning of events of sorrow to joy has been decribed as
Good Friday and Easter are the ultimate example in the redemption story:
May this greatest story every told give us hope, especially in our days, when evil and wrong seem so strong:
* We appeal to Heaven for deliverance from the satanic regime that has infiltrated all levels of government and our institutions as well as our people who put them in power.
* We pray for President Trump for vindication and restoration and strength from above to withstand the forces of hell unleashed against him.
* We pray for deliverance of all those persecuted for righteousness sake.
* We pray that all that has been concealed be revealed
* We pray for a eucatastrophe for our beloved America
And may we continue, without ceasing….:
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Amen.
Amen
Amen
AMEN to all these petitions!
Prayers for our nation and prayers to rebuke that spirit of anti-Christ rising up across the world.
Amen
Amen!
we cannot measure His love and mercy
that our sins nailed Him to the cross
that He gave up His life, a ransom for many
thank You, Jesus, our Passover Lamb
we are Barabbas
we are the criminals set free
by the death of Jesus Christ
Amen !!! <><
Psalm 22
To the leader: according to The Deer of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer;
and by night, but find no rest.
3 Yet you are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4 In you our ancestors trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 To you they cried, and were saved;
in you they trusted, and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm, and not human;
scorned by others, and despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock at me;
they make mouths at me, they shake their heads;
8 ‘Commit your cause to the Lord; let him deliver—
let him rescue the one in whom he delights!’
9 Yet it was you who took me from the womb;
you kept me safe on my mother’s breast.
10 On you I was cast from my birth,
and since my mother bore me you have been my God.
11 Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help.
12 Many bulls encircle me,
strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
13 they open wide their mouths at me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax;
it is melted within my breast;
15 my mouth* is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to my jaws;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16 For dogs are all around me;
a company of evildoers encircles me.
My hands and feet have shrivelled;*
17 I can count all my bones.
They stare and gloat over me;
18 they divide my clothes among themselves,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
19 But you, O Lord, do not be far away!
O my help, come quickly to my aid!
20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
my life* from the power of the dog!
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion!
From the horns of the wild oxen you have rescued* me.
22 I will tell of your name to my brothers and sisters;*
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him;
stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For he did not despise or abhor
the affliction of the afflicted;
he did not hide his face from me,*
but heard when I* cried to him.
25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation;
my vows I will pay before those who fear him.
26 The poor* shall eat and be satisfied;
those who seek him shall praise the Lord.
May your hearts live for ever!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember
and turn to the Lord;
and all the families of the nations
shall worship before him.*
28 For dominion belongs to the Lord,
and he rules over the nations.
29 To him,* indeed, shall all who sleep in* the earth bow down;
before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,
and I shall live for him.*
30 Posterity will serve him;
future generations will be told about the Lord,
31 and* proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn,
saying that he has done it.
Amen.
Lord, a nation turns it’s weary eyes to you for mercy. Help us to lean on you and listen to your words.Our spirits are willing but we are weak. We do not understand all that we’ve been told, but we try to trust and believe. We are appalled by the betrayal and violence that surrounds us. Help us to defend you. When we waver, help us to run after you. In moments of crisis and defeat, allow us to stand by your feet and witness to your sacrifice.
Always by your side, we pray. Amen
My prayers always. God bless.
Beautiful post. Thank you.
