Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, 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)

Psalm 33:10-11 “The LORD foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.”
Amen.
Psalm 69
9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
Amen!
May the number of those standing in the gap be multiplied.
Amen TianaHighrider. That’s the sweetest name of all!
2 Chronicles 19:5-7
“He appointed judges in the land, in each of the fortified cities of Judah. He told them, ‘Consider carefully what you do, because you are not judging for mere mortals but for the LORD, who is with you whenever you give a verdict. Now let the fear of the LORD be on you. Judge carefully, for with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.’”
Deuteronomy 1:16
“I charged your judges at that time, ‘Hear the disputes between your people and judge fairly, whether the case is between two Israelites or between an Israelite and a foreigner residing among you.’”
Deuteronomy 25:1
“When people have a dispute, they are to take it to court and the judges will decide the case, acquitting the innocent and condemning the guilty.”
Dear Lord Jesus, we pray for our supreme court that they would judge righteously before you and uphold Your Truth. We pray for support and defense of our Constitution so America returns to honor You. Grant our judges divine wisdom so they may clearly see what is Righteous and what is wrong. We pray they overturn immoral, erroneous judgments and honor life. We pray for all judges across the land that they operate wisely and fairly. Raise up righteous judges who fear You and deliver godly justice. Remove those from the bench who operate in darkness, apart from your Truth and wisdom.
Amen!! That is so true, yet so many are lacking, starving.
1 Peter 2:13-14
“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.”
Holy Father God, we pray for all our local officials: Governors, state level and local level leadership. Grant them grace and wisdom to rise to issues regarding elections security, political unrest, federal tyranny, financial crisis, law enforcement, imposition of socialism, racial division, etc. Grant them insight into their communities’ needs and discernment to make godly decisions.
Amen! Yes, Lord hear our cries!
Acts 17:26
“From one man He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.”
Dear Holy Father, Creator of heaven and earth, we trust in You to sovereignly place every leader. You marked their days of service for which You will use them for Your purposes according to your plan. By You mightily hand we pray for Your Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of the authorities. We ask for peace and unity, which only comes through You. But even in the face of conflict we are confident in Your plan and are committed to the accomplishment of Your will.
You’re so welcome, lysie!
Romans 13:1-2
“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.”
Dear King of Kings, you appoint the nations’ leaders in America and around the world. We pray for them all that they will protect our freedom. May we live our faith freely without fear. We pray for all of these leaders to come to repentence and salvation, that they may know You. Please Holy Father, place leaders who revere You and will serve You for the good of our communities.
Thank you Jeanbl!
Psalm 33:14-22
“From His dwelling place He watches all who live on earth — He who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in You.”
Psalm 22:27-28
“All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before Him, for dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.”
Amen af_vet_1981!
Beloved Lord Jesus, though we grieve as America is torn down, may we remember that our hope is in You and only You. No person can save us or America, only You. One day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that You are Lord (Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:10-11). You are our only hope.
Amen, SisterK! Holy Father, please bless those standing in the gap and bring more prayer warriors to our group and others around the world! Let us all join in prayer together in union with You!
Dear Holy Father, forgive us for misplacing our hope in government, political ideologies, comfort and convenience, the economy and other circumstances. We repent that we have forgotten You in our prosperity and become proud and self-reliant (Deuteronomy 8:11-14). Our hearts are so quick to wander. We repent of all idolatry, dear Lord. Please forgive us in our shame.
Amen! God bless.
Amen, in agreement to your prayer. Lord may we pray continually as Paul did for our nation and church, In Jesus Name, Amen.
Thank you etabeta! God bless you too.
.. if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Amen!! Yes.
Spiritual Focus For The Church In Tough Times
Loving Lord, we are the Body of Christ and we are the Church of God and as You told us in Your Word, we are facing increasing difficulties in our lives today, and much animosity towards the things of God. But Father, we know that our help is in You, for You alone are the Rock upon which we stand, and You are the Hope of our salvation. Keep our hearts focussed on You, and our eyes fixed on our Savour, Jesus Christ.
Help us Lord, to remain strong in the faith with our hearts focussed on the truth of Your Word. Keep us strong in the Lord and in the power of His might and may we put on the whole armour of God as we face an increasingly hostile world. Lord, it is only as we remain in You and our hearts are centred upon the Lord Jesus, will we gain victory over the world, the flesh and the devil.
We praise You that Christ won the spiritual victory on the cross. Keep Your Church ever focussed on that truth, and help us never to forget that what we suffer in the world today is nothing compared with the glory soon to be revealed to us. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Psalm 34
Of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.
1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Look to him, and be radiant;
so your* faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
and was saved from every trouble.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good;
happy are those who take refuge in him.
9 O fear the Lord, you his holy ones,
for those who fear him have no want.
10 The young lions suffer want and hunger,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, O children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Which of you desires life,
and covets many days to enjoy good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against evildoers,
to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears,
and rescues them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the broken-hearted,
and saves the crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord rescues them from them all.
20 He keeps all their bones;
not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil brings death to the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.
Amen
Amen ❤ 🙏
Beautiful! Thank you!
Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for the promise that none can pluck us out of Your hand and none can pluck us out of Your Father’s hand either. Oh Lord, this world seems to be getting more dangerous and more violent with each passing year, but I do thank You that no matter what happens to us in this life, we are safe in Your hands for we have eternal life in You, simply because we are Your children.
Protect us Lord Jesus, and keep us safe as we go about our daily duties in this world. Lord, You have placed each one of us in the location where You would have us be and although we are surrounded by dangers and difficulties, we pray Your loving protection over all Your children.
Keep us ever safe in Your hands and use us Lord to give encouragement and care to others in dangers and difficulties. In Jesus’ name,
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 !
