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
As we prepare for the official day of prayer and the upcoming rededication of our Republic to You, we are grateful for everyone who had a part in making these days a reality. You have been preparing many servants for such a time as this. Thank You. We praise You for the expectation in our hearts of abundant fruit from all the dedicated servants whose efforts and hearts are toward turning our UNITED States of America back to You. Apart from You we have and are nothing.
“So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19)
Your Word has countless reports of people coming back to You after finding themselves and their people in the proverbial pig sty. You received them all with new beginnings and expectations. We believe You will do it again. Your love amazes us.
“No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day.” Father, draw multitudes as we pray.
Thank You. Thank You. We worship You in the name of Jesus. Amen.

“Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your hearts, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity. ~ Joel 2:12-13

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 Martyr Irene
https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2026/05/05/101297-great-martyr-irene
Here is a Persian Christian Great Martyr, commemorated by the Orthodox Church yesterday!
Troparion
(Podoben: “When the stone had been sealed...”)
Christ called you Irene, because you grant peace to those hastening to your holy temple with hymns and spiritual songs, / for you intercede for all, standing before the Three-Sunned Divinity, / Let everyone celebrate her memory joyously, magnifying Christ, Who glorified her.
Kontakion
(Podoben: “Today the Virgin...”)
Adorned with the beauty of virginity, / you became most beautiful in your brave contest, O Irene; / you were reddened by the blood which you shed, / and you overthrew ungodly error; / therefore, you received the prize of victory from the hand of your Creator.
May God bring the Persian people to the Christian faith, and free them from the yoke of the ayatollahs and their tyranny! Amen!
Midfeast of Pentecost
https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2026/05/06/38-midfeast-of-pentecost
Today’s celebration is the midpoint of the fifty days between the Feasts of Pascha and Pentecost!
Troparion
In the middle of the Feast, O Savior, / fill my thirsting soul with the waters of godliness, as You did cry to all: / If anyone thirst let him come to me and drink! / O Christ God, Fountain of our life, glory to You!
Kontakion
Christ God, the Creator and Master of all / cried to all in the midst of the Feast of the law: / Come and draw the water of immortality! / We fall before You and faithfully cry: / Grant us Your bounties, for You are the Fountain of our life!
