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

Lord, help us in our walk, that we may be humble, gentle and full of truth. Help us to extend Your light and Your love, to shine in the darkness. We pray for the church. We especially pray for persecuted Christians. Comfort them, love them, and multiply their strength in You.
Lord, we pray for those with hardened hearts that continue to resist You. We pray for those who have yet to embrace the hope and the joy to be called children of God. We pray for them because they are handicapped by bitterness and greed. We pray for them because they are lost in darkness. We pray for them because if they do not surrender to You, they are bound for destruction.
Lord, we pray that it is Your Will to give President Trump and his Cabinet wisdom and opportunity to successfully exit Iran. We pray that it is Your Will that the people of Iran will no longer have an oppressive government, that the pagan terrorists will know defeat, and that the prince of Persia will be crushed.
We pray all these things in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen
Amen, SisterK

Father, please help us as Americans to defend our nation's government---refusing to bow to the emerging socialist push, and ever ready to stand up for the Constitution of the USA. Help us also to defend Israel and to take a stand against any anti-Semitism that is being expressed, no matter who is promoting it. Give each of us courage to defend truth in this nation, and to know that You will be our Strength. In the Name of our fearless Savior, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
My prayers always for our beloved Country and for Peace in the World. God bless.
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
Amen.
Prayers for our Troops and for President Trump,
And praying to rebuke away that spirit of anti-Christ and its worker spirit of antisemitism rising up across our nation from even the most unlikely of supporters. A great evil attempting to gain a stronger foothold every day that passes.
Prayers and Amen.

As many of you do not know, the Orthodox Church has American Saints! May we all get to know them!
O Holy Father Herman of Alaska, pray unto God for us!
Amen and amen, dear sisters.
Concerning hardened hearts, we trust in the power of Your Word and Holy Spirit to cause dry bones to live again. Holy Spirit, open eyes as You did on the road to Emmaus and grant godly sorrow which leads to repentance. Thank You.
AMEN! And so we do as our Savior instructed us. In the Name of Jesus Christ, we rebuke the spirit of Anti-Semitism in this nation and throughout the world and we command it to fade into the abyss. Lord God, may the Jews in this world be respected and blessed no matter where they dwell. Hallelujah! We do not support any candidates in this nation who do not show respect for the Jewish people.
Amen.
Amen to your Beautiful, Power-Filled Prayer, Dear Servant of Jesus Christ.
