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. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 2:1-4

As decreed by our President Trump, on this day, we rededicate the United States of America as one nation under God.
Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the Lord
Lamentations 3:40
Lord, we humbly come before You, seeking forgiveness. We have wandered away from Truth. We have endorsed sin. We have corrupted our children. Following pagan gods, we have raced to destruction.
Lord, we cry out to You, desiring a mercy that we do not deserve. Help us to steer away from judgment and guide us toward Your perfect peace. Help us to rebuild our culture around Your Word, and to reestablish this republic as a Christian nation.
We pray for those who are offended by Your Truth. Their hate is strong, but Your Spirit is strongest. You are all power, all glory, all good, wise and perfect. You are the Almighty, the Only True and Living God.
Help us to return to our Christian heritage. Help us to be one nation under God.
We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen
Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7

I come to You, O Christ, / blind from birth in my spiritual eyes / and I call to You in repentance: / You are the most radiant light of those in darkness!
John 9:1-38 (Gospel)
This is the last Sunday of Pascha. In the Gospel, Christ as Creator fashions new eyes for the man born without eyes, so that he now can see.
Indeed He is Risen!
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 to your Beautiful, Power-Filled Prayer, Dear Servant of Jesus Christ.
Praying with you in Heartfelt Agreement.
Lord God in Heaven, help and let us return to You.
In Name of Jesus Christ the Lord, amen.
AMEN!
