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

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good . . . He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
(Prov. 15:13; Job 28:224)
BLESSED, HOLY and SOVEREIGN GOD, our hearts are overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for the gift of Faith, given freely and securely when one turns to CHRIST and believes – for HE IS THE AUTHOR and PERFECTOR of FAITH.
Dear LORD GOD, we know that nothing escapes Your notice, nothing is hidden from Your sight, nothing happens or exists outside Your Divine Will and Knowledge. Our world is spiraling headlong into destruction and it seems at every corner evil is prevailing, BUT GOD. LORD, Yours eyes are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good – and through the corridors of what man is doing to themselves and each other, YOU search hearts, YOU look for those who will turn to YOU in Faith, and are ever ready to pour out YOUR SAVING GRACE and MERCY on them. How we thank you for that.
FATHER, in the aftermath of the killing of our Dear Brother, Charlie Kirk, we know, we have seen, and we have HOPE that through what he stood for, how he faithfully spoke Your TRUTH, and how he exemplified living FAITH, that this next generation, that he devoted so much time to, will be eternally drawn TO CHRIST, with a fervor and commitment that YOU will perfect on those whose hearts are willing to wholly devote to YOU. We have hope for them, because of WHO YOU ARE. Thank You GOD. As we think of Charlie, may our hearts find comfort in the words spoken by Paul in Philippians 1:12: Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the Gospel.
We continue to pray for President Trump, Vice President Vance, and all the cabinet members, that they would continue to govern in the strong support YOU provide for those who are devoted to YOU. We continue to ask for comfort for those who are mourning, protection for those who are vulnerable to the onslaught of evil, for safety over Your Nation Israel, as attention is being diverted from their troubles to ours. The enemy is busy.
YOU ARE GOD ALONE, and we thank YOU for giving us the Grace, Mercy, Strength and Love to live as YOUR children in this place which is not our home. TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST and THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN.
“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” (Matthew 5:11–12) Thank you for joining in prayer today. Love, Jean

Psalm 10
1 Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?
Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 In arrogance the wicked persecute the poor—
let them be caught in the schemes they have devised.
3 For the wicked boast of the desires of their heart,
those greedy for gain curse and renounce the Lord.
4 In the pride of their countenance the wicked say, ‘God will not seek it out’;
all their thoughts are, ‘There is no God.’
5 Their ways prosper at all times;
your judgements are on high, out of their sight;
as for their foes, they scoff at them.
6 They think in their heart, ‘We shall not be moved;
throughout all generations we shall not meet adversity.’
7 Their mouths are filled with cursing and deceit and oppression;
under their tongues are mischief and iniquity.
8 They sit in ambush in the villages;
in hiding-places they murder the innocent.
Their eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9 they lurk in secret like a lion in its covert;
they lurk that they may seize the poor;
they seize the poor and drag them off in their net.
10 They stoop, they crouch,
and the helpless fall by their might.
11 They think in their heart, ‘God has forgotten,
he has hidden his face, he will never see it.’
12 Rise up, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand;
do not forget the oppressed.
13 Why do the wicked renounce God,
and say in their hearts, ‘You will not call us to account’?
14 But you do see! Indeed you note trouble and grief,
that you may take it into your hands;
the helpless commit themselves to you;
you have been the helper of the orphan.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoers;
seek out their wickedness until you find none.
16 The Lord is king for ever and ever;
the nations shall perish from his land.
17 O Lord, you will hear the desire of the meek;
you will strengthen their heart, you will incline your ear
18 to do justice for the orphan and the oppressed,
so that those from earth may strike terror no more.*
Amen, in Jesus Name.
Philippians 1:12: Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the Gospel.
Lord, we pray that in the darkness of this hour, Your light will be magnified.
We pray for a revival of Your Holy Spirit.
The level of persecution ramped up in America with Charlie Kirk’s assassination. We pray his death wakes us up and shakes us out of complacency. Spiritual war is real. Thankfully, You are victorious in this war, Father, by the Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Prayer For Protection In A Hostile Environment
Heavenly Father, You are my hiding place and the rock of my salvation and I come before You today and thank You that You have promised to be with me wherever I go, and to guide me in whatever I do. Lord, as I set out on my journey through today, I pray that I may walk in Your ways and would hear Your still small voice gently prompting me in the direction You would have me to go.
Keep me under the shadow of Your wing and grant me protection Father, from all the perils and dangers as I step out into the unknown of “today,” knowing that You have scheduled each day of my life and nothing can happen to me of which You are unaware.
Lord, You know the dangers that I may face today in this hostile environment in which I live, but I am placing my trust in You. I know that the angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear Him and delivers them. Thank You that You are with me even when I walk through the blackest valley for my trust is in You. May You be glorified in all I say and do today. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
