The Still Hour
Treeper Prayers and Prayer Requests
Our good friend Stillwater hasn’t posted in the Still Hour since Friday – not like him, but maybe just travels. There are other friends who have been absent of late, beyond Alleycat with her daughter’s situation, including our learned friend Colkitto.
Perhaps we can all say a prayer that they might all be safe and blessed – and for our friends, some who are going through a lot, in the Prayer Requests. May our Lord and Savior comfort them, strengthen them, heal them, and bestow upon them the Peace and Love beyond all understanding.
In Christ’s name we pray, not our, but your will be done Father.
Amen.
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Matthew 18:18-20
Thank you Harrison yes we can feel there absence will keep them in my Prayers be well and God Bless
Praying 🙏 💞
Praying~
Hoping our dear Stillwater is doing all right – very chagrined to see that his prayers for Friday were not up when I went to post my rosary prayer for Saturday – while Stillwater contributes many prayers as well as wonderful Scripture, and more recently a devotional, I thought perhaps the moderators – perhaps Ad rem or Menagerie – were the ones who set up the new prayer page threads – hopefully all is well with Stillwater!
I am just putting this here in the meanwhile – for Sunday’s prayers (May 31st) – kind of long, I hope you will not get annoyed and will just “scroll on by” – hopefully back to normal soon! – suejeanne
Sunday – May 31, 2026
Thank you, Stillwater, for the Scripture that you include with the prayers for each day, especially for Scripture and prayers for President Trump, Melania and Barron and all of the Trump Family and the people around them . . . Grandma Covfefe, Hallelujah . . . praying and praising! “Godspeed, Mr. President” (quoting Judge Merchan on January 10, 2025) and “Godspeed to our First Lady as well, Mrs. Trump . . . the lovely Melania!”
Getting ready to pray the Complete Rosary (all 20 mysteries/decades) this morning for the following:
Praying for all the people involved in resolving the issue of the chemical tank at GKN Aerospace in Garden Grove. Please lead and guide the firefighters, engineers, chemists and technicians involved in neutralizing the potential danger. Please watch over all the dear people who had to be evacuated. Please bring in people to help the firefighters resolve this. Certainly this plant provides jobs to people in the area but if it is being run in a dangerous or less than careful manner, please deliver the people of Garden Grove and everywhere that may be affected and have this shut down permanently. The chemical tank has sufficiently now cooled down and determined to not be an imminent danger to the surrounding community so the evacuation orders have been pulled back so that people may return to their homes; still praying for a true resolution so that this does not pose a danger again. Who did this work for Boeing before GKN Aerospace and will there be a proper investigation of the maintenance of the chemical tank; it didn’t just spontaneously of its own “have a problem” – was there a change in the monitoring and maintenance? I worry about this endangering people in Garden Grove and as a potentially wider hazard to more people in my beautiful California! Saying Hallelujah in advance!
Praying for the members of the Nassau County law enforcement community, please keep them and their families safe and well as they endeavor to protect the people in their county. The County Executive of Nassau County, Bruce Blakeman, spoke at the press conference held regarding two murders that are being investigated; a suspect has been arrested. Mr. Blakeman was so well-spoken, we thought he should run for governor but also thought he was so forthright, he needed lots of prayer! We looked for more news and found that Mr. Blakeman is actually running for Governor of New York State, with Todd Hood as Lt. Governor. Please watch over them, dear God, and surround them and their loved ones and the people that work with them and for them.
Praying for the people of Ireland and Hungary . . . of course, praying for so many people everywhere but Ireland and Hungary are especially on my heart tonight, if I alone as one person, could commend all the dear people into Your hands dear Lord, to fill their towns and cities with the Holy Spirit, to guide and help all the people.
Please dear Heavenly Father, put a hedge of Your angels around Nathan Hochman, the District Attorney for Los Angeles, who was elected in 2024. Please sustain him and all of his associates working with him, watch over all of them and their families, keep them safe and well and strong to do the massive job they have undertaken to do. Please dear God help to keep DA Nathan Hochman and his team strong and supported openly and loudly by the people of Los Angeles who voted for Mr. Hochman. Help them mightily!
Saying Hallelujah in advance for all blessings for them in their work and for watching over them and their families, pour blessings upon them. Dear Heavenly Father, I claim the Scripture from Isaiah Chapter 58, verses 6-11 for DA Nathan Hochman, his family and his team and all of their families, working to make Los Angeles a safe place, through the law. Please help them to receive all the strength they need and that the people of Los Angeles will show their support.
On Saturday morning (December 21, 2024) we learned the news of residential buildings being hit in the city of Kazan in Russia by drones “from Ukraine” timed to coincide with the times that the attacks were made in the United States on September 11, 2001. Please, Blessed Mother, Padre Pio and St. Michael: surround and protect the people targeted by those conducting those attacks.
Please watch over Glenn Greenwald, keep him and his loved ones safe and well as he courageously pursues the truth of matters.
Please watch over and keep safe Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in the course of surgery on his rotator cuff, if I understood that correctly that he is having that done and watch over his wife, children and other loved ones. Help him to have a good, strong recovery, like new! Hopefully he will give himself time to recuperate properly and will not put undue stress on the affected areas!
Please watch over Marine Le Pen who has been judged a felon, an embezzler, by the court in France. Please give her strength and calm and serenity and even more courage than she already has, to walk through this. Please surround her with Your Heavenly Angels and all of her loved ones and friends, to stand with her and to replace her many times over with others actively joining in the fight to restore France. Please surround her with Your Guardian Angels to make a hedge around her. Praying the rosary like the people of Poland did when they threw off the Communist control of their country.
Adding to the list, Rudy Giuliani, who I should have put on this list a long time ago but am always including him mentally in prayers! He needs so much help, right now, Blessed Mother . . . please help him to take a breath and sit back before he gets really sick, please help him to get through this time and come out better and stronger and actually feeling quite good. Please surround him with Your Guardian Angels, dear Heavenly Father, make a hedge around him, please defeat every snare.
Bevelyn Beatty Williams who has been sentenced to prison for 41 months for praying in front of an abortion clinic. Please continue to bless and surround Mrs. Williams with Your Guardian Angels, and all of her family, her husband and little daughter and all of her loved ones. Please lift her up and restore her, thank You for not letting her be crushed and destroyed, surely she is after your own heart, Mary . . . please help all of the people around her to be saved. Giving thanks that Mrs. Williams has now been released from prison; she was among 23 pro-life Americans pardoned by President Trump yesterday. Hallelujah!
Robert Roberson who is currently in Huntsville prison in Texas, please move the hearts of people to stop the planned execution of Mr. Roberson for a crime he did not commit. Please surround him with Your Guardian Angels, dear Heavenly Father. Praying for the Governor of Texas to do what is right and stop this travesty. I have included a link from the Innocence Project which goes into detail about Mr. Roberson’s case. Again, an innocent person being put in prison and in this case, set to be executed.
What to Know About Robert Roberson Facing Execution on Oct. 17 in Texas for a Crime That Never Occurred (innocenceproject.org)
♦ Thank You that Triple-amputee vet Brian K. has been freed from prison. (8/17/25) (Note: I used an initial for the last name in case the filters have difficulty with it.) The above post regarding Brian K. was by Stillwater. Thank you to Stillwater for this wonderful news which he posted on “The Still Hour” thread for yesterday, August 17, 2025. Hallelujah! Continuing prayers for Brian’s health and well-being!
Thank you, dear Heavenly Father, for watching over Peter Navarro through his time in the federal prison in Miami; please continue to watch over him today and his family and please continue to help his former fellow prisoners and their families, the guards and other personnel and their families.
The J6 Prisoners and their families, their fellow prisoners and their families, the guards and other personnel and their families. Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for keeping them safe and well and delivering them through this terrible time; giving thanks for their immediate restoration to their families and for their health and well-being.
Blessed Mother, please help Vanessa Trump and her children and all of her loved ones and friends and doctors and nurses helping her to fight newly-diagnosed breast cancer.
Thank you dear Blessed Mother for watching over Dan Wilson, a J6 Prisoner STILL, in spite of President Trump’s pardons of J6 Prisoners – thank you for efforts of Eagle Ed Martin and others in getting Dan released. It is a revelation that there continues to be an anti-President Trump element within his own administration. Why are there people in the Justice Department working against having Mr. Wilson released? Update: Now I realize from a post by Stillwater that President Trump pardoned Mr. Wilson a second time and he has been released from prison. Hallelujah!
Thank you dear Blessed Mother for watching over Tina Peters, County Clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, incarcerated for her efforts to have votes properly counted in Colorado during the 2020 election; she is still in prison and is now reported to be very ill; please deliver her out of prison and home again and to get the care she needs to get well. Whatever is the hold-up, please reveal that and bring it out into the open. Please light the path for President Trump to issue a federal pardon due to involvement in her prosecution by the federal government under Biden. Please also watch over Ed Martin and bring sunlight to everything happening in the Justice Department. Asking for a miracle! Asking Padre Pio to help Tina in every way possible. Please surround her and protect her, make a heavenly hedge around her and all the good people holding her up in prayer. I have seen now on Truth Social that Colorado Governor Jared Polis has now commuted the sentence of Tina Peters; she will be released on June 1 . . . please continue to watch over her, dear Guardian Angels and keep her strong to endure. Praying especially that Colorado Governor Jared Polis will endeavor to restore Tina Peters to a normal life after an inordinately severe plan to punish her; I believe Governor Polis has displayed some unusual courage in the first place in commuting her sentence and is righteously disgusted with politicians who are angry at him for commuting her sentence.
Please dear Heavenly Father, help Ed Martin, in his path, protect him and guide him with his Guardian Angel to make a hedge around him, whatever it is that is happening.
Thank You, dear Heavenly Father, for watching over Allen Weisselberg and his family, his fellow prisoners and their families, the guards and other personnel and their families. Mr. Weisselberg was released from Riker’s Island on July 19, 2024, after serving 100 days (he was sentenced to five months which would have meant until September 10, 2024). Please continue to watch over Mr. Weisselberg’s former fellow prisoners and their families and the guards and other personnel and their families. Please make that place a citadel of prayer and do not let those people and their families be crushed and destroyed but lift them up and restore them. Please bless them every way You can!
Hallelujah! Thank You, Heavenly Father, for watching over Steve Bannon while he was in jail and now since his release. Please continue to watch over him as I pray You continue to work Your miracle with him and that he will listen to his Guardian Angel.
The farmers of Idaho who were confronted by the water curtailment order, please watch over their families and their farms, bless them and help the people of Idaho rid themselves of elements in the government that would be a part of destroying the farming community in Idaho.
Please surround and protect Isabel Peralta of Spain who has been sentenced to one year in prison for speaking out against the invasion of her country by unchecked immigration and that it has been deemed illegal for her to voice opposition. Please give her a hedge of protection, dear Heavenly Mother, keep her safe and well. Praying for renewed attention and focus on her plight.
Please surround and protect Father Custodio Ballester, a Catholic priest in Spain who WAS facing prison time on charges of “Islamaphobia”. I learned about this on the Presidential Thread that there was news of this from the Christian Broadcasting Network (founded by Pat Robertson, the 700 Club). Update: Hallelujah! News that I read yesterday said that Father Custodio and two other people in the case were acquitted. Please continue to surround and protect Father Custodio.
Learned about this through sync and cheeringforamerica on the Presidential Thread; plus hopefully more can become aware through Stillwater’s prayer threads: Isael Rivera, 31, and Ruth Encarnacion, 30, were accused of abducting their five children, all of whom were being homeschooled. The father refused a Vitamin K shot for his son at birth. Doctor reported the family to DCF. Parents fled from Massachusetts to Texas with their children. Parents held on 2.5 million dollars for bail in Texas and extradited to Massachusetts. Massachusetts seized all 5 children from the family. Please, dear Blessed Mother, St. Michael and Padre Pio and Guardian Angels, protect these two precious parents and watch over their five little ones! Deliver them all into safety and together as a family!
Praying for Jair Bolsonaro, the former President of Brazil, keep him and all his loved ones and supporters safe and well. Please bless them abundantly and the nation of Brazil, too, to give the people strength and profound faith in this dark time for them. Amazing that the people of Brazil have been participating in a “Jubilee of Hope” and a gigantic statue of Mary – Our Lady of Fatima – has been created and is now on display in Rio De Janeiro. They say it is about as tall as an 18-story building taller than Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer statue. Thank you for helping the people of Brazil.
Praying for people discovering, re-discovering Our Lady of Guadalupe, who is the Patroness of the United States, Mexico, all the Americas and the unborn.
Please watch over Peter Antico who was on Adam Carolla’s podcast (with fellow guest, actor Kent McCord, most well known for his role on “Adam-12”). Mr. Antico’s part of the discussion was mainly about SAG and AFTRA union health care plans and pension fund – please help Mr. Antico in his part to bring about a cogent and honest resolution of the issues involved. I saw what looked to me like a rosary necklace which he was wearing and so am asking You Blessed Mother to help him in all of his prayers.
Praying for all of these precious people, dear Heavenly Father, that You will pour out blessings upon them, that they will see that their hope is affirmed. Please lift them up and restore them, do not let them be crushed and destroyed but help them to prevail and prosper. Surround them with Your beautiful Guardian Angels, to defeat every snare placed against them and their loved ones. Thank You, Jesus.
One of the promises for praying the rosary is that Mary will crush the head of the serpent. That gentle lady will crush the head of the serpent.
Saying “Hallelujah” in advance of prayers answered!
The first video is of all 20 mysteries of the rosary – Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious – the second video is of the traditional rosary said for each day, which takes about 20 minutes – as today is Sunday, the Glorious Mysteries are remembered.

After chugging five glasses of wine…
Jill vowed Joe Biden’s just fine.
Asked, ‘How can that be?’…
She said: Listen to me…
It’s a matter of how ‘fine’ is defined. 🙂

The United Nations has scrapped its worst‑case climate scenario. Now is the time for a reckoning. Entire countries shut down oil and gas and made themselves poorer based on the climate hoax. Climate alarmists must be discredited, defunded, and issue formal apologies.

WANT SOME TRUTH?
THE U.N. ADMITTED YEARS AGO THE REASON FOR THE CLIMATE CRISIS … HERE IT IS IN A SPEECH FROM 2015… A U.N. OFFICIAL SAYS IT POINT BLANK! THEY’VE BEEN LIARS PUSHING THE CLIMATE CRISIS ALL ALONG!

Newsom Designates California Sanctuary State For Fraud |
SACRAMENTO, CA — Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation on Friday officially designating California a sanctuary state for fraud.
California lawmakers drafted bill SB.55 in response to what they considered Trump’s “outrageous” attempts to enforce federal law. According to sources, the bill made it to the governor’s desk in record time.
“Trump needs to know we will not stand idly by while he investigates crimes that benefit us,” Newsom said at the bill signing. “Only dictators do that.”
The bill signing took place at the Quality Ospice Center in downtown Sacramento, California.
https://babylonbee.com/news/newsom-designates-california-sanctuary-state-for-fraud
It read like a babylonbee article but – given the way California operates these days – I wasn’t sure until the very end. Sarcasm/parody is SOOOOO hard these days.
MSM and Big Pharma don’t want the general public to know the following – re:
AZITHROMYCIN and Doxycycline and Lyme and other tick-bite-related diseases:
1.) “Clinical Treatment of Erythema Migrans Rash” (Lyme Disease) – CDC, March 27, 2026
“People treated with appropriate ANTIBIOTICS in the early stages of Lyme disease usually RECOVER rapidly and COMPLETELY. Early diagnosis and proper ANTIBIOTIC treatment of Lyme disease can help PREVENT late Lyme disease.” • Source: cdc.gov/lyme/hcp/clinical-ca…
2.) “Topical AZITHROMYCIN for the prevention of Lyme borreliosis: a randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 efficacy trial” – March 2017, The Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal – “A subgroup analysis in this study suggested that topical AZITHROMYCIN reduces erythema migrans after bites of infected ticks.” – “Early manifestations of Lyme borreliosis include non-specific signs and symptoms, such as fever, headache, and myalgias.
A characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans, which arises due to local skin infection, is seen in 60–80% of infected people5 several days to weeks after a tick bite has occurred.6 The rash is rarely itchy or painful. It expands by 2–3 cm per day over a period of several days.
7 Parts of the rash might clear as the area enlarges, resulting in a bull’s-eye appearance.”
– “Most cases of Lyme borreliosis can be treated successfully with systemic antibiotics, but if left untreated, patients might develop CNS involvement (20%), arthritis (10%), and, rarely, carditis.8 With successful antibiotic treatment, complete recovery can be achieved, but might take several months
.6” – “Lyme borreliosis develops in 1–5% of individuals bitten by ticks, but with a diagnostic gap affecting up to 30% of patients, a broadly applicable pharmacological prevention strategy is needed.
Topical AZITHROMYCIN effectively eradicated Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato from the skin in preclinical studies.”
– “Preclinical data indicate that topical AZITHROMYCIN eradicates Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato from the skin around the tick bite before dissemination, and might provide a simple and effective prevention strategy.” – “The European Union Concerted Action on Lyme Borreliosis (EUCALB)5 and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDS
A)11 recommend antimicrobial treatment with oral doxycycline when erythema migrans develops.”
– “Although this approach proved effective in several trials,5, 6 it is associated with systemic drug exposure for 10–21 days, meaning that patients with subclinical infection might not be effectively treated and disease could progress.
–Early short-term prophylaxis with oral doxycycline might overcome these disadvantages,”
-– “Shih and colleagues13 found that infecting ticks deliver Borrelia spp organisms directly into the skin, where the bacteria multiply for some days before disseminating to remote sites.
Subsequent preclinical studies showed that topical AZITHROMYCIN applied to the skin of inoculated mice inhibited the growth and survival of bacteria locally even when applied only once within 72 h of infection.14, 15
By contrast, topical doxycycline showed no meaningful activity against B burgdorferi (B31 strain).15
Together, therefore, the data favour AZITHROMYCIN as a potential antibiotic agent for topical use.
AZITHROMYCIN is a lipophilic molecule that penetrates cells, has high tissue distribution and accumulation properties, and has a long local tissue half-life of about 68 h.16
It penetrates all compartments of the skin, reaching dermal concentrations that are more than 3800 times higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for B burgdorferi sensu lato. The drug is not associated with allergic sensitisation or photosensitisation, and may be used in children and pregnant women.” •

One opossum can eat approx 4,000 ticks per year. If you see an opossum on your property, you may want to think twice about having it removed.
