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

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD . . . (Lam. 3:26)
Oh GOD, how Almighty, how Eternal, how Mysterious, how Amazing are Your Ways. Who can thwart Your Will as it makes it pathways through our lives, pulling down strongholds, separating good and evil, making crook paths straight, leading us in the Highway to Heaven. We thank You that JESUS is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE, and to follow Him is our sure footing not to slip, turn back, or veer off so far as to get lost. Thank You GOD for this. Thank You Dear HOLY SPIRIT, for every working in our lives. YOU are as silent as the wind and yet as powerful as a storm. We thank YOU for the times you brush our lives with the gentle breeze of compassion and peace, and we thank YOU for the times of tumult and struggle, for we know when we trust in YOU, PEACE prevails and the Will of GOD is accomplished, it has too. OH THANK YOU GOD, it has too. Nothing can stop the Hand of GOD.
Dear GOD, between all the avenues of media, the televisions, the radios, the phones, the computers, even the person to person platform meetings, it all becomes on big noisy and loud obnoxious babble of mankind fighting against one another, and the mind sometimes just can’t take another morsel. Today, may we put down even for a few moments, maybe even for a day, all these things and devote ourselves to the SILENCE of WAITING, in prayer and in expectation, GLORIFYING ONLY YOU in our minds, hearts, souls and strength that we get in doing so. For Your Word says: IT IS GOOD TO BE QUIET AND WAIT FOR THE SALVATION OF THE LORD. We need to be renewed in quietness and confidence for Your Word also says THAT WILL BE OUR STRENGTH.
We pray for our Dear President and Vice President. We ask that he will be given time to quietly enjoy a day of rest and renewal in his spirit. We ask that You would hush the upheavals of our Nation for even a few hours so that these men could quietly and reverently enjoy Your Presence. That is such a powerful, strengthening source of encouragement. We pray for all our servants in this country. May each avenue that has to deal with chaos, trauma, or enemy attacks, have a reprieval from these, and have moments of quiet rest and adoration with You. You tell us in Your Word: Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; fret not when men prosper in their ways, when they carry out wicked schemes. (Ps. 37:7) Thank You FATHER.
May Your church return to the feet of Christ and sit and listen to His Voice speak. Teach them again the fundamentals of the faith LORD. By now, maturity should be marked, but so many are slipping into ways that are deviant to the True Doctrines of the Faith. Help our churches. If Christ crucified is not preached, if sin is not addressed, if hell is not acknowledged, and the Good News of Salvation not the core issue of the preaching, then a different gospel is going out. And for this we turn and ask YOU AND ONLY YOU TO SILENCE THAT. For that is the enemy of many souls even as many are thinking they are GOOD with GOD. We pray Your Promise: Thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, said, “In repentance and rest you shall be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength.” . . . the verse goes on and says: “But you were not willing”. LORD, wake up Your church to the error of her ways. Give them the ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. For: “The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.” (Isa. 32:17) Dear LORD, we can’t think of Peace without remembering Your request that we, Your Church, seek and pray for the Salvation of all Israel and for the Peace of Jerusalem. Remind our churches of Your heart for Your People and the city that bears Your Name.
We ask LORD, for one more thing. That prayer would prevail for over our country. This is pleasing in Your sight for we are told it will lead to quiet and tranquil lives in all godliness and dignity. We desire that for ourselves and for our children and for our children’s children.
So today, may this be the resolve of each and every person including especially myself: As for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me. IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen
AMEN!
Joining all...
Amen.
Amen!!!
Psalm 117
1 Praise the Lord, all you nations!
Extol him, all you peoples!
2 For great is his steadfast love towards us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures for ever.
Praise the Lord!
Amen to every word of your anointed prayer, Dear Jeanbl, in Jesus Most Holy Name, Amen.
Every word of your prayer is precious to me. May the Lord find it so! In His name, amen!

"May Your church return to the feet of Christ and sit and listen to His Voice speak. Teach them again the fundamentals of the faith LORD. "
Heavenly Father, uncreated, eternally existing Reality, so very many seminarians and priests have been falling away from Your Revelation from the 19th century up to today. Under the strong influence of Darwinism, Higher and Lower Biblical Criticism, and natural science they can no longer believe in the Power of Your Word (1 John) Who spoke creation into existence.
With loss of belief they fall into worldly ideologies that present an artificial reality bespeaking evolution of life from matter pregnant with life and man as descended from apes. In this way unbelieving seminarians and priests dehumanize Your image bearers so that millions of people- having forgotten their souls--- invent artificial identities (identity politics). And where there is forgetfulness of one's soul there is no turning to Jesus Christ, the Physician of our Souls in confession and repentance of sins. Many such people die in their sins and go to hell.
O Lord, Merciful Savior of our souls, please pour out Your Grace upon these poor, wretched, lost sheep and lead them to faithful, orthodox shepherds who preach and teach Your Pure and Precious Word. And if it be Your Will, please lead unbelieving shepherds to repentance and obedience to You O Lord. In the Blessed and Holy Name of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen
Amen to your beautiful and anointed prayer
Dear Lord, we especially lift up the churches that have been forbidden to gather under the guise of protecting us from a virus, while protests and riots go on unabated. We lift up Your people who live under tyrannical local governance. Father God, the numbers show that we have flattened the curve. That we have been spared the wrath of plague and disease. We thank You for the mercy and love that continues to flow from the throne room of God.
in Jesus’ name we do pray
Amen
Amen.
“We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us [what] work You did in their days, in the days of old. You drove out the nations with Your hand and it was Your power that gave [Israel] a home by rooting out the [heathen] peoples, but [Israel] You spread out. For they got not the land [of Canaan] in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your countenance [did it], because You were favorable toward and did delight in them.”
Father, we pray in the name of Jesus for our President, Donald John Trump. Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your countenance established our United States of America. You are our President’s King. Command victories and deliverance for him. Through You, he shall push down our enemies and through Your name, we tread his and our enemies who rise up against us. We do not trust in our President or military/police strength because You are the One who saves us from our foes and put to shame those who hate him. In God, he makes his boast and gives thanks to Your name forever.
In our crooked media, he is now the taunt of our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are round about him yet he has not forgotten You or been false to You and the foundation upon which our Nation is laid. You have a large remnant of people who have not forgotten Your name and have not stretched out our hands to a strange god. You know the secrets of the heart. For Your sake, we are persecuted by friends, family, those in authority and many of our citizens, BUT GOD, You are not asleep nor have You cast us or our President off. You will not hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression. We trust You to come to our help and deliver us for Your mercy’s sake and because of Your steadfast love! (From Psalm 44)
This day we approach your throne of grace with boldness to seek your face....to speak and listen...for You are ever present with us as a nation under God..... Although some might question this, for what things appear to be, we know and understand you are allowing this time and season to accomplish your absolute will and Divine purposes just as we've asked and ask still.....for which we're grateful...for we also know you do all things well as we reflect on your great works among mankind throughout your written word.
.... Rarely was it easy or comfortable at that time when your great hands intervened in the affairs of men as we've asked and continue asking that you do for us now and in the future.....no matter all that swirls around us in our nation today...........So we stand together and pray for you to heal our land, and strengthen your people as we pray for all those in authority ...for blind eyes to be opened and for many to see and hear the power of our Lord as never before......That same power that broke prison chains, raised Lazarus from the dead, and parted the Red Sea, the same power that healed the blind man, and delivered the delirious from demons, that same power is at work still today...and we praise your greatness for that.
We also understand that The Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groaning too deep for words.... So may the words of our mouth and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in your sight Oh Lord our strength and redeemer...
In Jesus Name for He is worthy....Amen
Amen.
