Precious Lord,
You have redeemed us. You have called us by Name. We are Yours. What a beautiful blessing it is to belong to You and to be called by the One Whose Name is above all names. We are privileged to be Yours, Most Holy God. You are the eternal God of the universe, and underneath are Your everlasting arms.
Father, may we speak these words of faith over our President and his cabinet, our military men and women, and all our first-responders. We pray that when they are in difficult situations, they will remember Your promises. When they walk through tedious times of trial, rivers of opposition shall not overflow them, and flames of fire shall not kindle against them. They have the divine protection of the Most Holy God. You are the Lord, our God, the Holy One of Israel, our Savior. Every one who is called by Your Name is formed by You and created for Your glory. What a blessed assurance of Your love and Your commitment to us!
Bless Your beloved Israel, Lord, and prosper her. Stir up Your people there, Lord, and encourage them to share the good news of the Gospel, that all may be led to repentance.
Grant that our president and his cabinet would choose to respond to their positions of responsibility with Your righteousness and with the wisdom that will most certainly be given those who request it. Father, raise up for us a bold generation of leaders who will respect the truths upon which this country was founded. Help us not to compromise the fundamental beliefs of freedom for all American citizens. And may we treasure these beliefs that so many have died to defend.
Father, it is never pleasant to participate in war, but we acknowledge there are times it is a necessity. Please grant Your wisdom to our Commander in Chief and the military leaders as they navigate this struggle with Iran. We know You will not fail to lead our President and all those who are standing in defense of our nation and Israel. Thank You for Your faithfulness and Your truth that endures unto all generations.
Lord, because You paid the tremendous price to redeem all of us who believe, help us to remember to pray for our brothers and sisters everywhere who are persecuted daily for their belief in Jesus. Jesus, Precious Jesus. How we thank You for the finished work of the Cross. So great is the love that You have shown. We can do nothing to earn this gift, Lord. Help us simply to receive it in faith and to allow our hearts to be changed by You for all eternity. Hear our prayers this Blessed Lord’s Day, in the Name of Jesus Christ, 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, thank you. Joining in prayer.
Amen to every word of your beautiful prayer, to your every praise and petition
Lord, help our hearts to remain in that place where we are never discouraged or distracted.
Help us to keep that perfect peace.
Amen.
Adding my prayers. God bless.
Amen
HOLY PASCHA: The Resurrection of Our Lord

Troparion
Christ is risen from the dead, / trampling down death by death, / and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!
Troparion
Before the dawn Mary and the women came / and found the stone rolled away from the tomb. / They heard the angelic voice: “Why do you seek among the dead as a Man / the One Who is everlasting Light? / Behold the clothes in the grave; go and proclaim to the world: / ‘The Lord is risen; He has slain death, / as He is the Son of God, saving the race of man.’”
Kontakion
You descended into the tomb, O Immortal, / You destroyed the power of death. / In victory You arose, O Christ God, / proclaiming: “Rejoice!” to the Myrrhbearing Women, / granting peace to Your Apostles, and bestowing Resurrection on the fallen.
Christ is Risen!!

This is a lovely Bach setting of A Luther Paschal chorale, Christ lag in Todesbanden:

Here is an English translation:

It is of course Lutheran, but it is close to the sprit of Orthodoxy.
Christus ist auferstanden! Er ist wahrhaftig auferstanden!
Amen
