Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: That if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14)
Religion Forum threads labeled *Prayer* are closed to debate of any kind.
1 John 5:20
"And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life."
2 Chronicles 7:14
"...if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
We are grateful You are always watching over us, protecting and guiding us. We recognize that only You have the power to do so in the right way. We love You Father God! Everything we are and have we owe to You, Jesus Christ our Creator. Great praises and songs of marvel and worship for You, our greatest hero, shepherd and King! We give thanks for Your provision, health and our godly leaders. We give thanks that You are trustworthy! Worthy! Only You are completely holy and deserve all praise and glory. Thank You for always keeping Your promises and being here for us.
We pray, Father God, for America's repentance and revival. We understand the consequences You allow upon us as a nation that's turned its back on You. We have lifted pride up in Your place and became arrogant; full of self-righteousness and moral subjectivity--A wayward nation that sanctions abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, destruction of the family and rebellion against Your plan is a nation run by little gods. In spite of that, we thank You for giving us a short reprieve with President Trump. Yes he is an imperfect human being (like us all), but we realize You spared his life for a reason. May we use this reprieve wisely and call upon YOUR HOLY NAME for repentance and healing, as only You can do. We pray for Americans to claim the LIFE and the VICTORY of our Savior! We thank You, Lord Jesus, for selflessly laying down Your life out of pure Love, as a sacrifice to pay for our many sins, though we don't deserve it. Thank You for providing a way out of eternal destruction and death. ...
Amen

Thank you Jane! God bless you!
Dear Abba Father,
What a marvelous Father You are! Loving King and merciful Judge, You are powerful and capable of totally wiping out all evil in this rebellious world with just the Truthful sword Your Word, yet amazingly You hold back for Your children’s sake, and for the lost You patiently wait for them to cry out Your Name!
Full of grace, You grant all chance upon chance to repent of sin and come to You for redemption. We live in a dying world full of rebellion, delusion, evil and death all around, yet You protect and provide for us, undeservedly. There is no greater Mercy and Love than Yours!
Holy Father, we look forward to the day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that You are Lord God, Ruler over all! We will shout and proclaim Your Name and Glory wherever we go, oh Holy Savior Lord Jesus Christ! Hallelujah to the one Mediator and Victor, victorious over all evil and death! You alone laid down Your life for us to atone for our sins, and have crushed the serpent’s head. In Victory we lift Your Name high to all glory, honor and praise! All thanks to You, Majestic King and Giver of the Light of Truth and Water of Life! Oh how comforted and secure we are in Your glorious presence, Abba Father! Hallelujah hallelujah to our King for all eternity, Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.
What a great privilege and blessing to be called Your children! So grateful, true and loyal exclusively to You, our Father God! Thank You for hearing our prayers.
With all our love,
—Your Faithful Saints
Thank you LTOS! God bless you and your daily ministry!
Father God, God of Wonders and Life, we praise Your Holy Name and stand in awe of Your majesty and glory! We marvel how You transcend all human understanding, knowing that nothing will ever defeat Your supreme majesty and righteousness. You are a wholly sovereign, holy God of Power, Truth, Light and Love. There never was, is or will be anyone or anything than You! All thanks and praise to You, Almighty God, and our VICTORIOUS Lord Savior Jesus Christ, The Word, for the abundant blessings in our nation and lives!
And salvation and the restoration of the kingdom to the house of Israel when they shall all know the LORD, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, and our LORD forgive their iniquity, remember their sin no more, and be sanctified in us in the eyes of the nations.
Amen

Amen, af_vet_1981, praying in agreement! God bless you!
Heavenly Father, I lift up the Prime Minster of Israel and the whole Knesset, knowing that the Jewish nation are Your people and that the world at large seems to be turning their back on Israel as a nation, as prophesized in Your Word.
Give those in government the wisdom to make the right decisions and protect them I pray, from those that would seek their destruction. Lord, I pray that many in the government would seek Your face and prepare the nation to turn back to You as the only true God and only Protector of their nation, land and people.
I ask that You would continue to bless Your people with an understanding of the times, and I pray that many will come to hear the gospel and turn to Christ as their Messiah and Savior.
Protect the government, those that are in the armed forces and those that are living in vulnerable places in the land and I pray for that day when Israel as a nation will turn back to seek Your face and come to recognize Jesus Christ as their God and Savior. Father, I pray for the day when peace comes at last to that land, when Christ returns in power and great glory to set up his kingdom and I plead that many will come to recognize Who Jesus is and to trust Him as Savior. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Thank you laplata. God bless you!
I’ve been doing some reading...
Joking is an interesting topic and difficult to paint with one broad brush. Biblically speaking, joking itself is not regarded as sin, although in some instances, it certainly can be. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that “the tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” James 3:3-12 compares the tongue to a bit in a horse’s mouth, a ship’s rudder, and a fire. The tongue is a powerful thing, and words can either bring great life or great hurt. There are ways to joke that edify. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” (Proverbs 17:22). The Psalms are full of references to laughter, which is what good joking produces. But there is also a way to joke that is demeaning and harmful, and we are called to “not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen” (Ephesians 4:29).
Our words should always honor God and communicate that we value that which He has made. The best way to know whether our joking is bordering on the sinful is to seek the Holy Spirit and ask for His conviction. He can make us sensitive to when a joke is appropriate and when it may not be. If there is any doubt in our minds, or if our consciences are being pricked by our joking, it is probably best to forego it. There is also the issue of making others stumble, which we can easily do with jokes that we may feel are perfectly innocent, but which others see as offensive or hurtful. Our liberty should never be exercised at the expense of another’s conscience (Romans 14:13-17).
Occasional jokes and jesting, if they are appropriate, are probably for the most part innocent. But there are those who make jokes so often that they can hardly say a sentence without it containing a joke of some sort. This is hardly the most appropriate lifestyle for a Christian, however, as we are told to “live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world” (Titus 2:12). As with all “gray areas” in the Christian life, seeking God’s wisdom regarding our speech is the most profitable way to go (James 1:5).

Psalm 5
To the leader: for the flutes. A Psalm of David.
1 Give ear to my words, O Lord;
give heed to my sighing.
2 Listen to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.
4 For you are not a God who delights in wickedness;
evil will not sojourn with you.
5 The boastful will not stand before your eyes;
you hate all evildoers.
6 You destroy those who speak lies;
the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.
7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
will enter your house,
I will bow down towards your holy temple
in awe of you.
8 Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
make your way straight before me.
9 For there is no truth in their mouths;
their hearts are destruction;
their throats are open graves;
they flatter with their tongues.
10 Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of their many transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
11 But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
so that those who love your name may exult in you.
12 For you bless the righteous, O Lord;
you cover them with favour as with a shield.
Amen
Amen, ViLaLuz
Joining in prayer for our beloved America.
Appealing to Heaven for deliverance from the wicked—especially the enemy within.
Let all that has been concealed be revealed.
In Jesus Name
Amen
