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

YOU are the SAME GOD, YOU NEVER CHANGE. Just as in old, when the people wanted a "king" like the Nations, so are country is swinging that pendulum into socialism and its likes. We too, as a Nation, are forfeiting our freedoms, freedoms in every sense of the WORD, YOUR WORD. Shame on us.
And just as in old, when the people found themselves under the rule of an evil king, YOUR WORD remained a beacon and a sold foundation in guidance and wisdom for what the people, those who did not bend their knees to any of the world's baals, what they are to do. So. LORD, we turn to YOU and seek YOUR COUNCIL.
LORD, as we look at our Nation slipping into exile from what are Nation was, to what it will become, we must stand firm in our faith and trust in YOU, SOVEREIGN GOD, and our commitment to eachother as believers and servants of the LORD. For nothing that is happening is our of YOUR WILL, YOUR CONTROL, YOUR SOVEREIGN DIRECTION, and ultimately YOUR GLORY.
So, we turn to Jeremiah 29:4-7 and we pray for ourselves, our families, our children and our grandchildren, so we will not loose heart: "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
We turn to Psalm 82, knowing that Scripture shows that God holds corrupt leaders accountable and will judge them in His own time. We turn to Titus 3:2-3, and we pray for humility LORD. For it could be very easy for us believers, who know YOUR TRUTH, to somehow gloat with pride over the fact that we are not deceived, keeping in mind these very words: "Slander no one, be peaceable and considerate, and always be gentle toward everyone. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures."
And ultimately LORD, may we Stand Firm, Walk steadfast, Pray deeply, Love freely, Live faithfully, and take heed to the words of Micah 6:8: It hath been told thee, O man, what is good, And what the LORD doth require of thee: Only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY NOW and FOREVER. AMEN.
