Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, 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)

1 John 5:20
"And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life."
2 Chronicles 7:14
"...if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
Psalm 46:1
"God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble."
I thank You today Abba Father, for the revival blooming across the land, even in the smallest towns. We are aware that every day that passes we are one day closer to the return of our Savior Jesus Christ. We give thanks for this final day of Summer 2026, and pray we can look back over the season to see the progress of the Harvest.
Help us today and going forward, Father God, through Your Holy Spirit, to keep our walk holy as we strive to walk closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. Help us keep You as the priority every single day. We don't ever want to say that we are too busy to spend time with You, which unfortunately is easy to do in a world full of distractions. Help us set our minds and hearts on the author and finisher of our faith, King Jesus.
As our dying world unravels, Father God, help us--Your soldiers here--endure all hardships for our Savior. Let each of us be willing to lay down our lives for Him and His cause as He did for us. Support our labors as we lay up our treasures in Heaven and not in this world which is passing away. Help us invest our lives in the Gospel. Let every moment You have granted us be lived with intention. We remember the parable in Matthew about the 10 virgins--5 wise and 5 foolish. Help us assess how we spend our time, money and resources. Help us fully trust and submit to our Savior Jesus Christ.
As always Holy Father, we pray the prayer request You will always grant--that each of us grows in wisdom and knowledge of Your Word every single day; and that our walk with our Savior Jesus grows closer and closer.
Let us not be distracted by the AI psyops currently raging as the antichrist system rises. Give us the wisdom to conduct our civic duties in a manner pleasing to You as we prepare for the mid-term elections. We pray our fellow citizens not be deceived by the rising socialism and judicial chaos around us. As the stormy seas increase, help us keep our focus on our Savior and no one else. In His Name we pray, the Name Above All Names, KING JESUS CHRIST. Amen.
Amen, in Jesus Name.
Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be thy Holy Name,
Praying for President Trump and for those working with him. Praying and asking for a hedge of protection around him as he goes to the United Nations to speak. Let the evil schemes of Americas enemies be rebuked away from us. Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, it is the peace of the World.
In the Holy name of Jesus,
Amen.
Amen, ViLaLuz
Joining in prayer for our beloved America-250.
May the Spirit move the hearts of the electorate to raise up the godly in the midterms.
Frustrate the schemes of the wicked to rig the elections.
May the evil despots in Iran be vanquished as well as the enemy within our borders.
In Jesus Name
Amen
Amen
AMEN! thank you. Joining in prayer.
Amen
Amen!
May the Holy Spirit continue to work in us, sanctifying us, and drawing us into Your Will.
Let us not be distracted or discouraged.
In everything we do, help us to place You first in our hearts, our minds and our deeds.
AMEN!
My prayers always for our beloved Country. God bless.
Amen to your prayer, help us to become more focused in our prayer and intentional in our walk. May hinder the politicians who wish to throttle Israel and give in to the terrorists. May their weapons be exposed and fall to the ground. Thank you for President Trump for having the courage to do the right thing! In Jesus Name, 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.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.
