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

Father God, You are the Almighty. You are the Omnipotent and eternal God. You are forever our King and Lord. We thank You for all of the many blessings in our lives. We especially thank You for the mercy and hope that is in Jesus Christ. In His name we do pray.
Oh Lord, as we trod through this fallen world, we observe the enemy becoming bolder. Father God, fortify us that we may also be bolder. Help us in our walk, that we may be strong in You. Pour out Your Spirit, that we may live to glorify Your name. Shine light and truth through our lives, that our hope will be illuminated.
Oh Father God, let us not fear these wicked times, but help us to celebrate the victory that is in You. Help us to radiate with the peace and joy to be called children of God. Help us to love, as You loved us, though we were sinners. Take away our doubt and despair. Help us to live fully in the Kingdom of the Lord.
The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.
Romans 13:12
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 15:13
Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
Amen.
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 !
Amen, SisterK

Psalm 49
To the leader. Of the Korahites. A Psalm.
1 Hear this, all you peoples;
give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
2 both low and high,
rich and poor together.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom;
the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb;
I will solve my riddle to the music of the harp.
5 Why should I fear in times of trouble,
when the iniquity of my persecutors surrounds me,
6 those who trust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
7 Truly, no ransom avails for one’s life,*
there is no price one can give to God for it.
8 For the ransom of life is costly,
and can never suffice,
9 that one should live on for ever
and never see the grave.*
10 When we look at the wise, they die;
fool and dolt perish together
and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their graves* are their homes for ever,
their dwelling-places to all generations,
though they named lands their own.
12 Mortals cannot abide in their pomp;
they are like the animals that perish.
13 Such is the fate of the foolhardy,
the end of those* who are pleased with their lot.
Selah
14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
straight to the grave they descend,*
and their form shall waste away;
Sheol shall be their home.*
15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will receive me.
Selah
16 Do not be afraid when some become rich,
when the wealth of their houses increases.
17 For when they die they will carry nothing away;
their wealth will not go down after them.
18 Though in their lifetime they count themselves happy
—for you are praised when you do well for yourself—
19 they* will go to the company of their ancestors,
who will never again see the light.
20 Mortals cannot abide in their pomp;
they are like the animals that perish.
Amen Lord Jesus, truly the demons have become empowered by our compromise and lack of zeal. Desperately we need You for the battles that lie ahead. In Jesus Name Amen.
Amen.
FATHER, we pray Your Will be done; ask for healing of
our nation and suffering family members. Special prayers
You show justice for George Allan Kelly and those unfairly
imprisoned in D.C. Please show them Your Mercy.
We value Your Wisdom in the presence of Donald Trump,
sent to save this nation founded in Your Name.
Thank You for all things, both great and small. In the
Name of Jesus. Amen.
Amen! God bless.
Saint Thomas Sunday (Orthodox)
Commemorated on April 23
Troparion
From the sealed tomb, You did shine forth O Life! / Through closed doors You did come to Your disciples, O Christ God! / Renew in us, through them, an upright spirit, / by the greatness of Your mercy, O Resurrection of all!
Kontakion
Thomas touched Your life-giving side with an eager hand, O Christ God, / when You did come to Your apostles through closed doors. / He cried out with all: You are my Lord and my God!
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!!!!
And there was light. Amen.
*Amen
Yipes! Three quarters of an “amen” doesn’t cut it. :(
