AMERICA Prayer Vigil - January 23, 2024 (Prayer)

Free Republic ^ | 1/23/24 | Jeanbl

[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

Religion Forum Threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.

Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor - 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. (1 Peter 2:17; Romans 13:1)

[Jeanbl]

Oh Dear GOD, what happens when the governing bodies become our enemies? What then? We fix our eyes on JESUS and we obey His command to love our enemies and pray for them. We listen to YOUR WORD spoken to YOUR people who were under foreign rule: “Build houses and settle in them. Plant gardens and eat their fruit. Get married and have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there, and do not decrease in number. Seek the peace of the city where I have exiled you. Pray to the Lord for that city, because when it has peace and prosperity, you will have peace and prosperity”. (Jeremiah 29:5-7)

Dear LORD, the enemy of our souls, the enemy of our families, the enemy of our government and peace, the enemy of our health and economy is trying every avenue to thwart YOUR PROMISE in this regard. Housing prices are skyrocketed, interest rates are crippling, our farmers and country sides are being poisoned and uprooted for satisfy agendas, marriage is on the attack so that there are less and less men and women having children, and the single and young are finding more refuge in recreation and social media fantasy so as not to fulfill the beautiful commands of GOD.

So, again, Dear LORD, we seek YOU in prayer. Teach us to TRUST in YOU and YOUR GREAT POWER to see us through. Teach us to submit to authorities as is fitting, but always keep in mind that when the lines is crossed, we obey GOD and not man. Give our prayers POWER and PURPOSE for those who fall victim to evil laws and wicked practices. For the unborn, for the young and innocent, for victims of sexual deviancy and perpetration, for the ignorant and inexperienced, for the poor and needy, for the helpless. Send help, appoint time, anoint servants to turn things around for YOUR GLORY and their good.

And regardless of what direction our Nation is going, is falling, (For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers – Proverbs 11:14), we ask that we may stay committed to living our motto of old, IN GOD WE TRUST – GOD BLESS AMERICA. AMEN.

Agreeing in prayer.

“Upon hearing the man’s request, “I believe; help my unbelief!” Jesus immediately spoke to the unclean spirit and permanently cast it out of the boy.

Later, Jesus’ disciples inquired why they were unable to cast the demon out. Jesus told them, “This kind can come out only by prayer”
Mark 9:29.

Psalm 2

1 Why do the nations conspire,
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and his anointed, saying,
3 ‘Let us burst their bonds asunder,
and cast their cords from us.’

4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord has them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 ‘I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill.’

7 I will tell of the decree of the Lord:
He said to me, ‘You are my son;
today I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron,
and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’

10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
with trembling 12kiss his feet,*
or he will be angry, and you will perish in the way;
for his wrath is quickly kindled.

Happy are all who take refuge in him.
