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,
We pray this prayer on behalf of President Trump, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, all members of the Administration, and every believer who is ridiculed and persecuted for Your name’s sake.
God, people have attacked me, so be merciful to me. They have been chasing me all day, closing in to attack me. My enemies come at me constantly. There are too many fighters to count.When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. I trust God, so I am not afraid of what people can do to me! I praise God for His promise to me.
My enemies are always twisting my words. They are always making plans against me. They hide together and watch every move I make, hoping for some way to kill me.
God, send them away because of the bad things they did. Show your anger and defeat those people. You know I am very upset. You know how much I have cried. Surely you have kept an account of all my tears.
I know that when l call for help, my enemies will turn and run. I know that because God is with me! I praise God for His promise. I praise the Lord for His promise to me. I trust God, so I am not afraid of what people can do to me!
God, I will keep the special promises I made to you. I will give You my thank offering. You saved me from death. You kept me from being defeated. So I will serve You in the light that only the living can see.
LORD, put angelic protection around our military and the scientists who conduct top secret experiments. Bring justice for those who mysteriously disappeared or have been killed.
Give President Trump the victory over legislators and judges who thwart his agenda. Give him the victory! Pass the SAVE America Act.
Bring seditionists and traitors to justice. Thank you for exposing their evil plans.
Give us holy boldness to stand for righteousness and not be afraid. What can mere men do to us?
Protect everyone from the strong storms and tornados that are crossing this nation.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. Amen.

Bright Friday/Renewal Friday: The Life Giving Fountain of the Mother of God (Theotokos)
.........“Emperor Leo, go into the deepest part of the woods, and you will find water there. Take some of the cloudy water in your hands and give it to the blind man to drink.Then take the clay and put it on his eyes. Then you shall know who I am.” Leo obeyed these instructions, and the blind man regained his sight. Later, Saint Leo became emperor, just as the Theotokos had prophesied........
Kontakion (OCA)
O most favored by God, you confer on me the healing of your grace from your inexhaustible Fountain. / Therefore, since you gave birth incomprehensibly to the Word, / I implore you to refresh me with the dew of your grace that I might cry to you: Hail, O Water of salvation.

Apolytikion of Renewal Fri. (Greek)
O Theotokos, your church is like the Garden of Paradise, since it pours out healings and cures like ever-living rivers. We come to it with faith, and we draw strength and eternal life from its water, through you who are the Spring that received Life himself. For you intercede with Christ our Savior, who was born from you, and you entreat Him to save our souls.
Kontakion of Renewal Fri. (Greek)
O Lady graced by God, you reward me by letting gush forth, beyond reason, the ever-flowing waters of your grace from your perpetual Spring. I entreat you, who bore the Logos, in a manner beyond comprehension, to refresh me in your grace that I may cry out, “Hail redemptive waters.”
.........Now there is a Pope Leo.........
May God restore Constantinople to the Greek Orthodox people, and to the entire Orthodox Church. Amen!
Christ is RISEN!!!!
He is risen indeed!
so very Amen to your every word
Amen
AMEN!
Amen! Great interpretation of Psalm 56.
Amazing how something nearly 3000 years old still makes sense.
Hey there,
I’m not on here as much as I’d like but I do pray for y’all whenever I see this thread.
I would ask that add me and my family your prayer list. My sister died unexpectedly on Easter. She went into the hospital with a UTI (later dx as diverticulitis) and died 2 weeks later and the doctors never really seemed to try and find out what was going on, but her symptoms were very severe. She did not have the Covid shots, and had beaten cancer, survived a blood clotting disorder, strokes, heart attacks, Covid, flu A where she was intubated and agtrerward spent a year learning to walk again, improved her COPD as to not need oxygen anymore, lost 70 lbs, and her and her husband were starting to travel for the first time in a decade. She was SO happy with where things were headed.
So this is hitting all of us so hard.
She is a believer and we know she is celebrating with Jesus now, but the way things went at the end were so hard. My brother in law is just reeling. As we all are.
Her funeral is tomorrow ❤️
Praying for you and your family. So tragic.
Thank you ❤️
Besides my husband, she was my best friend 😔
Joining all ...
AMEN!
Oh, no ... LF ... I am so sorry to hear this. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
This IS a tragic loss....my heart goes out to you and I am so sorry for your loss.
Praying for you and your family. She was resurrected on Easter. One day you will know what happened, but for now, we know God will guide you and give you peace. So sad for this great loss.
Amen. Agreeing with the Word over our beloved leaders. Thank you for filling in again.
Amen
