America Prayer Vigil - 4/8/26 {Prayer]

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. 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)

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

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

Through and with God we shall do valiantly, for He it is Who shall tread down our adversaries. Psalm 106

Father, today we pray for the media in our Nation. We rejoice that You have raised up places where facts are reported. This is a great gift and answer to prayer. Thank You also for the rise in the opportunities for us to hear Your prophets to help interpret and clarify the news. We appreciate You.

This is what Your Word says about those who are still lying with evil plans: Proverbs 6 A worthless person, a wicked man, is he who goes about with a perverse (contrary, wayward) mouth. He winks with his eyes, he speaks by shuffling or tapping with his feet, he makes signs [to mislead and deceive] and teaches with his fingers. Willful and contrary in his heart, he devises trouble, vexation, and evil continually; he lets loose discord and sows it.BUT Therefore upon him shall the crushing weight of calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken, and that without remedy.

For all of those who have been the subject of the lies, You say, “He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly, and allows not their cattle to decrease. When they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow, He pours contempt upon princes and causes them to wander in waste places where there is no road. Yet He raises the poor and needy from affliction and makes their families like a flock. The upright shall see it and be glad, but all iniquity shall shut its mouth. (Psalm 107) And: “Let this be the reward of my adversaries from the Lord, and of those who speak evil against my life. But You deal with me and act for me, O God the Lord, for Your name’s sake; because Your mercy and loving-kindness are good, O deliver me. Let them curse, but do You bless. When adversaries arise, let them be put to shame, but let Your servant rejoice. Let my adversaries be clothed with shame and dishonor, and let them cover themselves with their own disgrace and confusion as with a robe. (Psalm 109)

Let Truth reign. Expose the lies as Left that Other Site prays daily, “Let all that has been Concealed Be Revealed.” I will give great praise and thanks to the Lord with my mouth; yes, and I will praise Him among the multitude. For He will stand at the right hand of the poor and needy, to save him from those who condemn his life.

Thank You for being the Champion of the Salvation of the righteous acts of Your servants in authority. We pray in the name of Jesus with thanksgiving. Amen.

Agreeing with prayer. In Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, 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.

Amen!

Lord, we lift up those who promote the lies. We pray that they will repent, lest they be destroyed.

Lord, we lift up those who believe and repeat the lies. We pray that they will seek wisdom and discernment. We pray that they will refuse to work for the enemy.

You are all Truth and all power. We thank You for calling us to love and to serve You. We thank You for Jesus Christ and in His name we do pray.

Great and Holy Wednesday (Orthodox)
Commemorated on April 8

Troparion

Behold the Bridegroom comes at midnight, / and blessed is the servant whom He shall find watching, / and again unworthy is the servant whom He shall find heedless. / Beware, therefore, O my soul, do not be weighed down with sleep, / lest you be given up to death and lest you be shut out of the Kingdom. / But rouse yourself crying: Holy, Holy, Holy, are You, O our God! / Through the Theotokos have mercy on us!

Kontakion

Though I have transgressed more than the harlot, O Good One, / I have not offered You a flood of tears, but in silence I fall down before You. / With love I embrace Your most Pure feet. / As Master, grant me remission of sins, when I cry to You, O Savior: / “Deliver me from the filth of my evil deeds.”
