[Jeanbl]

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for AMERICA: For those in Authority in Government, Family, Military, Business, Healthcare, Education, Churches, and the Media.

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

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come; Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven . . .

[Jeanbl]

HOLY FATHER, we, Your children, come to YOU this morning in prayer, but first, hear our voice of Adoration, Honor, and Praise, to You, our Blessed and Most High GOD, the Great and Mighty I AM, the Creator and Sustainer of all that is. YOU ALONE are worthy of all GLORY AND HONOR AND PRAISE.

Thy Kingdom come; Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Thy Kingdom is not of this earth, it is HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, GLORIOUS, and PURE, and it is worthy of ALL AWE and REVERENCE because YOU are the KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS.

YOUR WILL, YOUR WORD, tells us that one day – “The nations will fear the Name of the LORD, all the kings of the earth will revere Your Glory.” (Ps. 102:15) We pray: THY WILL BE DONE. Right now, the nations rage. Right now, the nations are coming against Your People Israel. Right now, the nations are bent on destroying the GLORIOUS GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST – and HIS POWER to free any and all from all darkness, delusion, destruction and evil desires. They think if they can destroy us, they can destroy YOUR WITNESS, YOUR GLORY, YOUR MAJESTY. BUT THE HEAVENS DECLARE it and there will never be a silent witness of WHO YOU ARE. Thank you Dear GOD, our FATHER, for saving us, freeing us, and giving us YOUR HOLY SPIRIT as a witness to those around us. Not us, Not us, but YOU ALONE be the GLORY, as YOU live your good work and good will through us. Help us LORD, to be worthy of our call, effectual in our prayers, and obedient in our walk, and radiant in our Witness.

We pray for our Nation. Thank You, LORD, for the leaders You have placed among the workers of iniquity in our Government, to be a light, a witness, a conscience and even a judgement, against all that is being done and supported that bring our Nation to ruin and our people to either despair and disdain.

Thank you, LORD, for the voice of the TRUE CHURCH, who will not fondle evil and sin, but will speak the Truth in Love, so that those who are still deceived and in the grips of the world and its perverted philosophies will be set free.

We pray, Dear LORD, for Israel and for the Peace of Jerusalem. May those of us adhere to Your lovingkindness toward them, and speak the words You proclaim: "Speak tenderly to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned”. (Isa. 40:2) We pray for those who are ministering to the hurting and sorrowful victims of the barbaric actions of the enemy. We pray for our brothers and sisters and all their congregations in the Israel that they would be able to find open doors and open hearts to hear the GOSPEL of forgiveness of sin and freedom in the Messiah. We pray that in doing so, every heart and every tear will be wiped with grace and comforted with mercy.

We Pray: “Praise the LORD, all the nations; extol Him, all you peoples” for “The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever” (Ps. 117:1; Rev. 11:15) EVEN SO COME, LORD JESUS, COME. AMEN.

Prayer For Salvation For Enemies

Heavenly Father, You have called us to pray for our enemies and all those that seek to do us harm, and not to heap up unforgiveness or resentments in our heart, and so Lord I want to bring before You all those people in my life who have become enemies of my soul, and to ask for Your grace, favour and forgiveness to be poured out on them. Lord, I pray that You would convict each one of their need of Jesus as their Saviour.

Lord, I know that it is not Your will that anyone should perish but that all should come to salvation in Jesus Christ, and so I bring all those people in my life that have sought to do me evil or inflicted harm on me, whether intentionally or unwittingly, to Your merciful throne of grace to plead forgiveness and to ask mercy on their souls.

Lord, for Your holy names sake, I pray that You would draw close to each. Open their eyes to the truth of the gospel of grace I pray, and bring each one into a saving faith on the Lord Jesus. Draw them with Your cords of loving forgiveness into Your family. In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

I read this the other day and thought I’d share to go along with your prayer.

Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them. Enemies have driven me into Thy embrace more than friends have. Friends have bound me to earth, enemies have loosed me from earth and have demolished all my aspirations in the world. Enemies have made me a stranger in worldly realms and an extraneous inhabitant of the world. Just as a hunted animal finds safer shelter than an unhunted animal does, so have I, persecuted by enemies, found the safest sanctuary, having ensconced myself beneath Thy tabernacle, where neither friends nor enemies can slay my soul.

Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them.
They, rather than I, have confessed my sins before the world.
They have punished me, whenever I have hesitated to punish myself.
They have tormented me, whenever I have tried to flee torments.
They have scolded me, whenever I have flattered myself.
They have spat upon me, whenever I have filled myself with arrogance.

Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them.
Whenever I have made myself wise, they have called me foolish.
Whenever I have made myself mighty, they have mocked me as though I were a dwarf.
Whenever I have wanted to lead people, they have shoved me into the background.
Whenever I have rushed to enrich myself, they have prevented me with an iron hand.
Whenever I thought that I would sleep peacefully, they have wakened me from sleep.
Whenever I have tried to build a home for a long and tranquil life, they have demolished it and driven me out. Truly, enemies have cut me loose from the world and have stretched out my hands to the hem of Thy garment.

Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them.
Bless them and multiply them; multiply them and make them even more bitterly against me:
so that my fleeing to Thee may have no return;
so that all hope in men may be scattered like cobwebs;
so that absolute serenity may begin to reign in my soul;
so that my heart may become the grave of my two evil twins: arrogance and anger;
so that I might amass all my treasure in heaven;
ah, so that I may for once be freed from self deception, which has entangled me in the dreadful web of illusory life. Enemies have taught me to know what hardly anyone knows, that a person has no enemies in the world except himself. One hates his enemies only when he fails to realize that they are not enemies, but cruel friends. It is truly difficult for me to say who has done me more good and who has done me more evil in the world: friends or enemies.

Therefore bless, O Lord, both my friends and my enemies.
A slave curses enemies, for he does not understand.
But a son blesses them, for he understands. For a son knows that his enemies cannot touch his life. Therefore he freely steps among them and prays to God for them.
Bless my enemies, O Lord. Even I bless them and do not curse them.
Amen.
~ St. Nikolai Velimirovich (Orthodox)

“Thomas Jefferson observed, “A candle loses nothing when it lights another candle.” That is the real nature of partnership. I find that many people don’t think that way. They believe that sharing means losing something. But I don’t think that’s true.

Every person possesses one of two mind-sets: scarcity or abundance. People with a scarcity mind-set believe that there’s only so much to go around, so you have to scrap for everything you can and protect whatever you have at all costs. People with an abundance mind-set believe there’s always enough to go around. If you have an idea, share it: you can always come up with another one. If you have money, give some of it away; you can always make more. If you have only one piece of pie, let someone else eat it; you can bake another one.

I believe that in this area, you get from life what you expect. You can hoard what little you have and receive no more. Or you can give what you have, and you will be rewarded with abundance. Your attitude makes the difference. So if you partner with another person and give tremendously, one way or another you’re going to get back more than you gave.”
― John C Maxwell

Psalm 57

To the leader: Do Not Destroy. Of David. A Miktam, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
until the destroying storms pass by.
2 I cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfils his purpose for me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me,
he will put to shame those who trample on me.
Selah
God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness.

4 I lie down among lions
that greedily devour* human prey;
their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongues sharp swords.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.

6 They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my path,
but they have fallen into it themselves.
Selah
7 My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and make melody.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn.
9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the clouds.

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.
