America Prayer Vigil - April 11, 2026

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

Gracious Heavenly Father – Thank You for every blessing You have poured out on us during this season of Passover. Haleluyah for providing the Passover Lamb, our Savior Yeshua Ha Mashiach. He ever lives to make intercession for us – to atone for our sins.

Each Passover, as we remember the Exodus from Egypt, we glory in Your miracles, guidance, protection, and provision for the Israelites. We remember it all through our Passover seder and remember that Yeshua and His disciples were celebrating Passover the night before He was crucified. We remember His words: “Do this in remembrance of me.” So, we do . . . and we give You glory and praise.

We look with wonder on the matzah, with its stripes and piercings that point to our Messiah. We remember that the leaven represents sin, so the matzah is made without leaven. And we eat it as commanded in Your Torah. We remove the leaven from our homes – and from our lives by examining our hearts. We remove the leaven by confessing our sins and thanking You for Yeshua’s atonement for those sins. How blessed we are that we don’t have to kill an animal and shed its blood – because Yeshua shed His blood – once and for all. Haleluyah.

Thank You, Father for the peace agreement between Iran and America that was reached during Passover. We pray that the two-week ceasefire will hold. We pray for President Trump and his cabinet and military leaders to draw closer to You, seek Your face and Your Word, and obey Your commandments. Obedience brings blessings.

We pray for Melania Trump in her confrontation of the media for their lies and accusations against her. Grant her continued protection and peace in her role as First Lady. Draw her to You, Your Word, Your Will, and Your Ways.

We pray for Israel, which is still being attacked by missiles fired from Lebanon. We pray for those factions to stop the attacks. Grant peace and protection to the people in the areas that are being hit and damaged. Grant wisdom and discernment for Netanyahu and Israel’s military leaders. Most of all, I pray for all of Israel to return to Torah observance and to accept Yeshua as the Messiah. Obedience brings protection.

We pray for our Congress – Open their eyes and ears and hearts, Father. Thank You for John Fetterman who is seeing the truth and acting on it by calling out the Democrat party. Please move on our senators to pass the legislation to fund the government. May they stop in their obstruction of the MAGA agenda.

We pray, Lord, for the Save America Act to be passed. Please stop the obstruction, Father.

We pray for the liberal courts to stop their efforts to obstruct justice by liberal, and insane, rulings.

We pray for the liberal news media to stop in their mission to steal, kill, and destroy President Trump and the MAGA efforts. God bless, protect, and keep those independent news outlets that are investigating and reporting the true news that the liberal media misrepresents, or hides (on purpose).

We thank You for the efforts being made to secure true elections going forward. We pray for laws to be passed to put in place citizen-only voting, one-day voting, and limited mail-in ballots. We also pray for those who cheated, lied, and defrauded in the past presidential election to be revealed and brought to justice.

We thank You for the exposing of fraud, waste, and abuse of government funding in the Minnesota and California. May these criminals be exposed and brought to justice.

We continue to pray for the pedophiles who abused and trafficked girls and women through Epstein’s evil networks to be brought to justice – no matter how high and mighty they may be. Don’t let this all be brushed under the rug. I pray for America and the world to know the truth and that their shame will be exposed.

Thank You, Father, that Tina Peters is being set free! Haleluyah!

And thank You, Father, that Artemis II has returned safely from their moon mission. I sit in amazement at the technology of our space program. I thank You and acknowledge You for it because “You give knowledge of witty inventions.” The inventions I have seen in my lifetime are truly marvelous.

We thank You for this day of rest, Your holy, commanded Shabbat. May You be pleased and blessed by our obedience. May we be refreshed, and may Your face shine upon us, and grant us Your peace. We pray and we believe in the mighty name of Yeshua Ha Mashiach. Amain.

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.

Great and Holy Saturday - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion

The Noble Joseph, / when he had taken down Your most pure Body from the tree, / wrapped it in fine linen, / and anointed it with spices, / and placed it in a new tomb.

Troparion

When You descended to death, O Life Immortal, / You slayed hell with the splendor of Your Godhead, / and when from the depths You raised the dead, / all the Powers of Heaven cried out, / O Giver of Life, Christ our God, glory to You!

Troparion

The Angel came to the myrrh-bearing women at the tomb and said: / “Myrrh is fitting for the dead, / but Christ has shown Himself a stranger to corruption.”

Kontakion

He who shut in the depths is beheld dead, / wrapped in fine linen and spices. / The Immortal One is laid in a tomb as a mortal man. / The women have come to anoint Him with myrrh, / weeping bitterly and crying: / “This is the most blessed Sabbath / on which Christ has fallen asleep to rise on the third day!”
