Let us flee from the pride of the Pharisee! / And learn humility from the Publican’s tears! / Let us cry to our Savior, / have mercy on us, / only merciful One!

Luke 18:10-14 (Gospel)

10
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men – extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12
I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’
13
And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’
14
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Dear Lord, we beseech Thee to purge the monstrous Satanic evil that has seized control of our institutions and government ! Bring these evil individuals to justice ! Strike down these wicked individuals and institutions that blatantly and audaciously lie to the public about their true (evil) intentions while painting good people as the real enemy !

Do not let these servants of darkness prevail over Your children ! Send forth Your angels to liberate us, oh, Lord ! Hear our cries and help us, please, dear Lord !

AMEN !

Father, we ask You to pour out upon our nation a spirit of repentance. Help us to turn from sin and return to You. As we seek Your face, we ask You to revive your people once again and to empower Your church to be the salt and light You have called us to be. We say in the Name of Jesus that You will let Your work appear to Your servants and Your glory to their children. We declare that the beauty of the Lord our God is upon us and You shall establish the work of our hands for us.

Out of Your great mercy and amazing grace, make us one, Lord, as You and the Father are one. Holy Spirit, teach us how to honor and respect one another and to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord. Transform us into image bearers of Christ who reflect the love and grace that Jesus showed us at the Cross of Calvary. In His powerful and merciful Name we pray, Amen.

Amen to Every Word of your Powerful, Anointed Prayer, Dear Servant of our King.
Praying with you in Heartfelt Agreement.
