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

Heavenly Father –
During these evil days, may we keep our eyes on You—not the storm.

Help our unbelief to trust in You though our heart may grow faint.
May we know You are God and You will always be with us, through all the trials of this world.

In these dark days, may our gracious Lord anoint leaders, fill them with the Spirit and give them a spirit to fight for the right against the fury of hell.
May we recognize it’s a spiritual fight against darkness and deception.
We confess our sins and appeal to Heaven for deliverance:
* Frustrate the plots and political machination to rig the midterm elections
* Expose the hidden satanic agendas, lies, and deceit.
* Grant us victory of evil, whether at home with the enemy within, such as DSA, or abroad, as in Iran and its proxies
* Protect President Trump and J D Vance from physical and spiritual harm
* Give us a heart of repentance and discernment.
* If it be God’s will, save our nation and our people.
And may we continue, without ceasing….:

In Jesus Name,
Amen


Praying for our Troops and for President Trump, for a hedge of protection around them.
Amen.
Amen
Aman

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.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
AMEN and AMEN, thank you. Joining in prayer.
Amen.
Amen, in Jesus Holy name.
Amen to your every petition
all of our hope is in You
Amen to your prayer and word...A wise king scatters the wicked like wheat,
then runs his threshing wheel over them.
Amen

Troparion
You were transfigured on the mountain, O Christ God, / revealing Your glory to Your disciples as far as they could bear it. / Let Your everlasting Light also shine upon us sinners, / through the prayers of the Theotokos. / O Giver of Light, glory to You!
Kontakion
On the Mountain You were Transfigured, O Christ God, / and Your disciples beheld Your glory as far as they could see it; / so that when they would behold You crucified, / they would understand that Your suffering was voluntary, / and would proclaim to the world, / that You are truly the Radiance of the Father!
AMEN!
Amen!
