Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military,
Business, Agri-Business; End to Sex Slavery; Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.
For GOD so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.For GOD did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of GOD’s one and only Son (John 3:16-18).
FATHER GOD,
Thank you for sending Your only Son to be born of a virgin, to live a perfect life and to die on the cross for our sins. Thank you He rose from the dead three days later and we can celebrate the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Give us divine appointments to share the Good News with our friends and family during this holy season. Prepare their hearts to accept JESUS as Lord and Savior of their lives. May this be a season of forgiveness and reconciliation with estranged family members.
May HOLY SPIRIT, comfort those who are grieving losses or finding themselves spending Christmas alone. Speak peace and rest to those who need it most. You never leave us or forsake us. You are always with us.
May Your mighty angels be a protective shield around members of ICE, the border patrol, service men and women here and around the world, the police and first responders. Bless them for their sacrifice in keeping the peace and defending our nation. Draw close to those who will be spending Christmas away from their families. Thank you technology enables them to see their families remotely, but it isn’t the same as being there.
Give President Trump, JD Vance, members of his administration, and their families a much-needed time of rest and refreshment. Open the eyes and hearts of those who do not know You are LORD and SAVIOR of their lives. May they accept your free gift of salvation.
Cancel all clandestine schemes of our enemies to attack our nation during the Christmas season.
And LORD, may we keep our eyes on You and never take lightly the great sacrifice you made on the cross of Calvary. May we quiet our hearts and spirits and pledge our obedience and devotion to You.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. AMEN.

Psalm 91
1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.
14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
Amen, stars & stripes forever

Eve of the Nativity of our Lord
Commemorated on December 24
Troparion
Mary was of David’s seed, / so she went with Joseph to register in Bethlehem. / She bore in her womb the Fruit not sown by man. / The time for the birth was at hand. / Since there was no room at the inn, / the cave became a beautiful palace for the Queen. / Christ is born, raising up the image that fell of old.
Kontakion
Today the Virgin comes to the cave / to give birth to the Eternal Word. / Hear the glad tidings and rejoice, O universe! / Glorify with the angels and the shepherds / the Eternal God, who is willing to appear as a little child!
Here is a lovely. Nativity Concert from Christ the Saviour Orthodox Church in Harrisburg, PA.
You and your loved ones might enjoy it on Christmas Day, after your festival meal. It’s better and more appropriate than a football game, or whatever else is on TV!
