America Prayer Vigil

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

I will sing of mercy and loving-kindness and justice; to You, O Lord, will I sing.

Today, Father, we want to praise You for Your Word. It gave us Salvation and a seating with You, It is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path. It encourages and strengthens us and exposes evil. It is our Life.

We mourn for those who are sitting in darkness with a veil over their eyes that keep them from seeing and discerning the Truth of Your salvation and the basic “common sense” truths of everyday living. You said, “Because of and through the heart of tender mercy and loving-kindness of our God, a Light from on high will dawn upon us and visit us To shine upon and give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct and guide our feet in a straight line into the way of peace.” Luke 1:78-79 You also said, “In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it, and is unreceptive to it. (John 1)

We were all under that veil before Your precious Holy Spirit sent Your Word and enlightened us. We stand in agreement here with each other in asking for enlightenment for family, friends, co-workers and neighbors aligned with any person who comes to this prayer site today. Out of Your mercy and compassion by Your power, transfer them out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Your Beloved Son.

We also stand in agreement for those who are in positions of authority in every village, school, city, county, State and Federal office. Convict them concerning righteousness and let the fresh wind of Truth move their decisions. Give us Truth seekers and followers in these upcoming elections.

Psalm 99: The strength of the king who loves righteousness and equity You establish in uprightness; You execute justice and righteousness in (our United States of America)

Keep Your followers currently serving in public office strong. Give them discernment and witness to them in their spirits when something comes at them that runs contrary to Your will. We ask You for their protection.

Once again, we petition You for our military and first responders. Keep them safe with Your mighty Heavenly Host.

Thank You, Father, for entrance into Your throne room this day in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Amen, Hiskid

Affirming the Light in Scripture.

Joining in prayer for our beloved America-250.

Lifting up our leaders to be guided by the Spirit as well as raise up the godly in the midterms.

Protect all those who go in harm’s way to serve others—home and abroad.

May the Spirit move in our land, bringing repentance and revival.

In Jesus Name
Amen

Troparion

Your holy martyrs, O Lord, / through their sufferings have received their incorruptible crowns from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!

Kontakion

Those who renounced the perishing comforts of this world, / preferring the eternal things of Heaven, / were incorrupt after death and rose from the dead / and buried the snares of the devils! / O Faithful, let us then honor them, singing a hymn of praise to Christ!
