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.
Father God,
You are the Ancient of Days who knows the past, present, and future. You are the Alpha and Omega, the Author of time and who made everything to have a season.
Lord, in Your infinite wisdom, You sent Your Son Jesus Christ in the fulness of time according to Your divine schedule. In the fullness of time CHRIST was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and was crucified for our sins.
Jesus made a way for everyone who believes in Him to live with Him for eternity when He rose again from the dead. Praise God! Jesus won the victory!
God, You knew us before we were even born. You made a perfect plan for every one of us, but in order for You to work in our life, we must give our life over to You. We must first believe on Your only Son, Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
May those who visit this prayer thread who have never made this decision do so today. May this be their time of salvation.
Father God,I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord. I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. Thank you for saving me.
I humbly ask you to forgive me of my sins. Help me turn from my wicked ways, so I may do Your will. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, Who will guide me in truth.
Help me know my true identity in Christ so I may fulfill Your perfect will for my life. In Your precious name I pray. Amen.
Lord, protect the pilot who is being rescued by his fellow soldiers. Keep them safe in this dangerous operation. Hide them from their enemies. Bring them to safety.
Guide and protect President Trump, Pete Hegseth, and all in his cabinet during these perilous times.
Bring Congress to their senses and legislate according to what is best for America - not their personal agendas.
Forgive us where we have failed You. Give America another chance to shine the light of Christ in a dark world.
In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus. if we discern the signs rightly, we sense that our time is growing shorter. the time and the light for working here is waning, and no one can work in the dark that’s coming. time is short, not only for America and President Trump, but for the working out of the Church Age.
Lord, we know that their are many in our gov’t who are thwarting the will of the good people of America, and therefore Your Will, for you have instituted this gov’t. we also know that their are many unknown who would be willing to step in and serve rightly, but are hidden by the powers of darkness from the President; they are unknown to the people who are advising him. Lord, the time for finding and enabling those who would work for the good is short. i ask you thwart the plans and dark schemes of the enemy. hobble the enemy’s, paid lobbies, corrupt judges, and lovers of only money and power. help connect the President with the people who can help him, and have the courage and know how to quickly bypass the evil ones in our gov’t.
and most of all, pour out your Spirit of Wisdom, and Understanding on President Trump and the good people still with him; Council them on how to use our might; teach them to unlearn the wrong, and choose the right people! Teach them to fear only You; find him people who will never fear their own demise and death, but will do right no matter what the cost; Lord, You can establish their thoughts, and order their steps. lead them to the solid ground of truth and righeousness. enable them and President Trump to save and reestablish, justice and righeousness in our beloved America. they can surely do all things through You, who chooses the leaders of the Nations, and in judgment strikes them down, and in Mercy and Grace strengthens them. In Jesus’ Name, the One who established the Nations, Israel your first born Nation and Apple of Your eye, and our America the Beautiful, the greatest nation ever established by man under You, i ask. i ask you now for Your Mercy and Grace on us in America. stand us up so we can continue Your desire, that the Gospel be preached to all the world by your Church. help us to continue to restrain the evil one. In Jesus Name, who is now our High Priest, and who will be King of Kings over all the earth in the coming new Age, i again ask. Amen.
Amen, tars & stripes forever

Precious Lord, please help this pilot to be piloted only by You. May he not fear, for You are with him. May he never cease to feel Your presence and may he hear Your voice of peace, calm, and blessed assurance that You have his back. And may the enemy be put to tremendous confusion as You quietly and safely lead rescuers to his exact location. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.
Isaiah
Chapter 64
1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, 2 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! 3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. 4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. 5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved. 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. 7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. 8 But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
9 ¶ Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. 11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. 12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?

Troparion
By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion, / You did confirm the universal Resurrection, O Christ God! / Like the children with the palms of victory, / we cry out to You, O Vanquisher of death: / Hosanna in the Highest! / Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!
Kontakion
Christ the Joy, the Truth and the Light of all, / the Life of the World and the Resurrection / has appeared in His goodness, to those on earth. / He has become the Image of our Resurrection, / granting divine forgiveness to all!
Lazarus Saturday is a day on which catechumens may be received into the Orthodox Church. Those received may thus celebrate Pascha the following Sunday as Orthodox Cristians! Thank you, O Lord, for my reception into the Orthodox Church on Lazarus Saturday via Chrismation years ago! Amen!
