Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Lamentations . . . How do we save ourselves? 🙂
One morning I showed one of my students this video, thinking she’d enjoy the performance. Instead she said, “That really old!”. I asked her what she meant and she said, “Just look at that hair!”. So much for the benefits of higher education . . .
These are so beautiful.
I think so, too. 🙂
Thank you Garrison!

PRAYER REQUESTED ~
“The pages of history are filled with examples of faithful believers who resolutely obeyed God, even if it meant facing severe repercussions from men. When Daniel refused to stop praying, he was thrown into a den of lions. When the apostles refused to stop proclaiming the name of Jesus, they were arrested and scourged. When the church father Polycarp refused to renounce Christ, he was burned at the stake. When the Puritan John Bunyan refused to stop preaching, he was put in jail for twelve years. Many other examples could be given, but the point is clear. To obey God rather than men is not always easy. But it has been the heartbeat of believers in every age.
“James Coates is a living illustration of that same kind of resolve. When government officials interfered with his congregation’s ability to meet and worship, James and his fellow elders determined they must choose God over government. That courageous stand came at a cost. James was arrested and put on trial. When he appeared before the judge, he was told he would be released if he stopped holding church services. Like Luther at the Diet of Worms, he respectfully answered that he could not do so. His conscience was bound to God and Scripture. As a result, James has been imprisoned and treated like a common criminal.
“It is clear the government of Edmonton wants to make an example out of James. We also want to point out his example, because his conduct has truly been exemplary. The faculty, staff, and students of The Master’s Seminary stand in solidarity with James and his church. He has made us proud. Our desire is to produce men who not only know the content of Scripture, but who live out Biblical* convictions. James is that kind of man—a Master’s man. We affirm his courage. But even more so, we applaud the unwavering convictions on which that courage is established. We are trusting the Lord in all of this, and will continue to pray for our dear brother, his wife, his sons, his fellow elders, and his congregation. Our prayer is not only that James will soon be released and restored to his family, but that as a result of this the message of the gospel will shine forth to the honor of Christ.”
Soli Deo Gloria!
Author: Nathan Busenitz, Dean of Faculty at The Master’s Seminary

Prayers for James and his congregation.
When the covid lockdowns started last year we received emails from our congregations leader actually telling us ” to do what the government told us to do”.
We have not been back to that church since.
Must have been a Romans 13, trained fema pastor.
I’m reading the Busenitz book “Long Before Luther” right now.
He’s a solid theologian. His pastor, John MacArthur is my favorite living pastor/author.
Buckle up!
I’m praying right now
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
By Pastor Paul M. Sadler
“Though a grace believer, one of my brothers recently denounced the medical profession’s ability to help those suffering from mental illness. He denounces any form of medication. He said that he believes only our beloved physician, Jesus Christ, could heal such ‘defects of the spirit.’ This man has suffered terribly all his life. Can you tell me please, is this his own belief or one that the BBS would also endorse? He will listen to you and I beg you to enlighten all of us.”
Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Paul instructed Timothy:
“Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities” (I Tim. 5:23).
The apostle clearly wanted Timothy to use a little wine for medicinal purposes to ease the problems he was having with his stomach—and to treat his other afflictions. Paul himself was ministered to by Luke, “the beloved physician,” who attended to the apostle’s eye infirmity (II Cor. 12:7-10; Gal. 4:13-15 cf. Col. 4:14; II Tim. 4:11). We too should avail ourselves of whatever is at our disposal to address the particular health issues we are facing. God would have us to be judicious in preserving our health.
We would highly recommend that your brother seek out medical attention as soon as possible. Many times the chemical messaging of the brain is merely malfunctioning. Like diabetes, many mental disorders are often successfully treated with medication. This should be done in conjunction with the assistance of a godly pastor who can provide the needed spiritual support. The counsel of the Word of God at such times is indispensable. With God’s help, we are confident that your brother can live a productive and fruitful life for the Lord. The apostle says in II Corinthians 1:3:
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.”
Surely God has been merciful in allowing medical science to understand more fully the complexities of the human body, which is a demonstration of the wonders of His handiwork. Therefore, we believe it is prudent to utilize this mercy to relieve our pain and suffering. It is indeed true that Christ is still the Great Physician; and sometimes, He does intervene to heal our infirmities (Phil. 2:27). But today in the administration of Grace, this is the exception, not the rule. More often than not, His grace is sufficient (II Cor. 12:9).
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/fearfully-and-wonderfully-made/
1 Timothy 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
2 Corinthians 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Galatians 4:13 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
Colossians 4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
2 Timothy 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
2Corinthians 1:3 ¶ Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Philippians 2:27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
So busy body John Kerry shows up in Australia and tells them they need to stop exporting coal. Coal is like in the top two of Australian exports year after year.. India, China, and Japan are their three biggest customers for coal.
Australia pretty much tells Kerry to shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. John Kerry Disappointed Australia Wants to Keep Exporting Coal – Watts Up With That?
I won’t hold my breath waiting for Kerry to jet to China to tell them they should quit buying coal. If I did, I am sure I would pass out.
Wow. Truly amazing.

My thoughts on history and the pursuit of such knowledge in a nutshell. This is a response to those that believe that even honest efforts to research and discover what has happened before and why is a waste of time and money.
William Faulkner once said “History is not what was but what is”. I believe that to be the case for not only human history but Natural History as well. An accurate understanding of what has happened before is a key to understanding what is to come and possibly essential for surviving it.
So I do not believe it to be a waste when anyone honestly works to figure out and demonstrate the facts about what has happened before regardless of if they could be working on solutions to current problems instead. Individuals all have their own interests and motivations and they will do our most effective work when they follow them.
The past is made of facts that are welded together at the time of their creation. Infinitely coherent, and as such, discoverable by scientific method of hypothesis, experiment, verification or rejection and new testable hypotheses based on analysis of the results. Asking the right question and tenaciously persuing confirmatory evidence can lead to better understanding who we are and what are we doing here, Life’s most fundamental quest. Researching any subject is valuable because it is training us to persue the Truth. Our lives have meaning and significance if adhere to the Truth, or in other words Reality.
The Biden Cabal is repugnant because it promotes a faux reality by force. It cannot withstand focused attention and seeks to cancel and destroy anyone who presents evidences of Reality.. This whole Biden episode is a colossal waste of time, our most valuable possession.
We find history fascinating because of the pattern recognition. Our technology advances, but our human nature is tracing out the same types of patterns. When we study history we learn about our own nature.
For example, long ago the best minds guessed that matter was made of four elements, earth, wind, fire, and water. It was the best they could come up with considering the limit of their knowledge. The only way to advance was to doubt the received wisdom and be open to new ideas. Richard Feynman said that science was the disbelief in the infallibility of experts.
If we really learn from history we should know that our human knowledge is still partial and incomplete today. We also face the opposition of an established order that is suppressing the truth. Boy, are we ever experiencing that today. It is not just science and technology, even the more, the struggle we face is ultimately with divine authority. God gives each individual life, liberty, and other rights, and is versus the human government that takes those rights away.
Science fiction is interesting because we put human nature in a different technological setting, and see the same patterns of behavior.
There’s a reason fighters watch films of their opponents. NFL teams do the same. Every successful military commander studied their opponents’ past moves; Patton, Rommel come to mind immediately.
THE DELIGHT OF SACRIFICE
“I will very gladly spend and be spent for you;” 2 Cor. xii. 15
When the Spirit of God has shed abroad the love of God in our hearts, we begin deliberately to identify ourselves with Jesus Christ’s interests in other people, and Jesus Christ is interested in every kind of man there is. We have no right in Christian work to be guided by our affinities; this is one of the biggest tests of our relationship to Jesus Christ. The delight of sacrifice is that I lay down my life for my Friend, not fling it away, but deliberately lay my life out for Him and His interests in other people, not for a cause. Paul spent himself for one purpose only – that he might win men to Jesus Christ. Paul attracted to Jesus all the time, never to himself. “I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”
When a man says he must develop a holy life alone with God, he is of no more use to his fellow men: he puts himself on a pedestal, away from the common run of men. Paul became a sacramental personality; wherever he went, Jesus Christ helped Himself to his life. Many of us are after our own ends, and Jesus Christ cannot help Himself to our lives. If we are abandoned to Jesus, we have no ends of our own to serve. Paul said he knew how to be a “door-mat” without resenting it, because the mainspring of his life was devotion to Jesus. We are apt to be devoted, not to Jesus Christ, but to the things which emancipate us spiritually. That was not Paul’s motive. “I could wish myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren” – wild, extravagant – is it? When a man is in love it is not an exaggeration to talk in that way, and Paul is in love with Jesus Christ.

Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XIII – Scene of Revolving and Living Thoughts
13:1
She touched my forehead again, and lo! the brightness and the glory of the scene departed, and I immediately descended, and soon was in a low and gloomy subterraneous vault. Darkness in thick folds encompassed me, and a feeling of supernatural dread entered my soul and shocked my being. A quivering and spasmodic action wrought in fearful conflict throughout. My spirit startled at every movement of my mind. Yea, it appeared as if my thoughts wrestled amid the darkness. A distant roar broke upon my ear, as if an ocean poured its mighty waters foaming and surging down some craggy rock-bound cataract. In vain I sought to grasp some substance by which to impede my rapid movement, which appeared to force me downward toward the awful abyss.
At this moment a blue sulfurous flash disturbed the vault of nether darkness, and as it disappeared all around me floated grim spectres, each enveloped in the fire of unhallowed passion. So sudden had been the change and so dreadful its effects upon me, that no thought but that of horror and despair had entered my mind, until these lurid ghosts appeared; then a more fearful terror possessed me, and I turned to seek refuge in the embrace of my guide, and lo! I found her not! Alone and in this dreadful place, no means are left me to express the most faint idea of the agony of that moment. At first I thought I would pray, but in an instant, the whole scene of my life was before me. Then I exclaimed, ‘O for one short hour on earth! For space, however brief, for preparation of soul, and do secure fitness for the world of spirits.’ But my conscience, as if some fiend, in a voice hoarse and trembling, echoed, ‘In thy day thou didst reject and spurn the means adapted to thy necessities, canst thou hope for successful suit in this dark scene of woe?’ And then to add to my misery, my former doubts and skepticism arose like living beings, looking upon me with a piercing glare. They revolved around me in condemning mockery, as though each was a self-actuated body. Thus congregated my life’s meditations. No secret thought but now composed a part of that attending throng; even those thoughts I had, as I supposed, forgotten, proceeded in order and strength around me. Again they changed, and each appeared an orb revolving in the mental, spiritual, and moral atmosphere of my being, and these, although first appearing in separate parts, at length combined as components of myself. To escape them was to flee from my own life. To annihilate them would seem to blot out my own existence. Then it was that I realized the force of the Savior’s expression, “For every idle word that man shall speak, he shall give account in the day of judgment.”
To be continued…

BE MY VOICE – I am a CHILD – not a CHOICE!!!
An incident that happened when my youngest Granddaughter was living with us to finish her Bachler degree to become a psychological counsellor. An example of the “tolerance” of the “woke”.
One day she was at the gas station at our local Meijer store. She had noticed an elderly white man having some trouble at the pump and then going inside. When he came out he was accompanied by a black gas station employee that helped him at the pump. The old white guy thanked the guy and comments how nice the “colored” attendant had been. .
Right away several other people were surrounding this old guy giving him hell for calling the black guy “colored”. My granddaughter recognized that the old guy was suffering from some level of dementia and was now totally confused and getting frightened ran over and jumped to the old fellows defense trying to explain to them what the situation was. The black attendant, hearing the ruckus, came out and immediately jumped in and told the people to disperse and go on about their business because he was not offended and was sure my granddaughter was correct.
The little mob broke up. None of them apologized for or seemed ashamed of their actions. .
BTW my granddaughter is now down in Killeen, TX living with her soldier that she is about to marry and go to S, Korea with on a three year deployment. They are quite happy together and she is working on her masters which she can continue to do remotely while they are overseas.
Though they lost water service at their apartment during the recent freeze they never lost electrical service for long.
When she came to us here her vehicle was a piece of junk. I took her to a dealership and found a low mileage 1 1/2 half year old Jeep Renegade in great condition for a descent price that she loved. I co-singed on the loan for her and against my advise she also bought the extended warranty package for it. She has never missed a payment, They have decided that the Renegade will be the vehicle that they have shipped overseas to use.
Thank you rah for sharing this and for the kindness of your granddaughter! Glad she and her fiance are so happy with the Renegade!

A friend suggested this as the warm up act for President Trump’s CPAC speech:
Twisted Sister’s version of “We’re Not Gonna To Take It”
Basic Lyrics:
“We’re not gonna take it
No, we ain’t gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it anymore
We’ve got the right to choose and
There ain’t no way we’ll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
………”
You are welcome to make your own suggestion since millions of people will be watching.
I am sure President Trump will pick the one that best matches the tenor of his speech.

US Navy To Retire First 4 Littoral Combat Ships
The short-lived and troubled class of ships begins its sunset.
https://thediplomat.com/2020/02/us-navy-to-retire-first-4-littoral-combat-ships/
The article was absolutely correct in its scathing description of those vessels. They have been nothing but a money pit and have never contributed anything worthwhile to U.S. naval preparedness. A deeply flawed initial concept, followed by horrible design and construction, made these vessels all but useless. Anyone other than the U.S. Navy would never have run them even as long as a year, simply because they could not afford to do so.
Just one more example of how the FedGov blatantly wastes your tax dollars and doesn’t give a damn about it.
“Buffalo public schools claim ‘all white people’ perpetuate systemic racism...”
“A public school system in New York has introduced a new curriculum to teach that ‘all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism’, and show kindergarten classes videos of black children shot and killed by police, instructing them about the dangers of police brutality.
Buffalo’s schools are expected to follow lesson plans devised by Fatima Morrell, the associate superintendent for Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Initiatives.”
“Older students are asked to atone for their ‘white privilege’ and to ‘use their voices’ for the cause of antiracism.”

60+ years ago there were a few “seals of approval” that one could go by when making decisions. Here are 4 of them:
“Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval”
“Consumers Guide”
“National Review Magazine” with Mr. Bill Buckley
“Forbes Magazine”
These 4 have gone over to the dark side and can not be used for anything except outhouse supplies.
Looking at today’s events, there have been many treasonous actors who have been exposed making it harder to recognize the enemy.
That leaves a truth vacuum that needs to be filled.
It is suggested that President Trump, when he is forming his new attack force, set up an official MAGA Seal of Approval managed by his team.
This seal would have to be attached to any person or organization that is requesting funds or other support.
No seal, no support, none, zero, nada.
It would be like a copyright or trademark that couldn’t be infringed upon.
This is just a suggestion to clear the air of all the previous trusted but now suspected actors.

It has been recommended that President Trump take his position on Mount Rushmore with the other great presidents.
I would like to suggest an upgrade to the recommendation:
President Trump deserves his own mountain range. A national contest could be held in which states would submit their bids for hosting the President Trump Mountain Range and their plans to develop the art for the range which at minimum would include a sculpture equivalent to the Mount Rushmore carvings.
No federal funds would be allowed to be used on the project in honor of the state’s rights in the United States Constitution which in these times need to be brought to the attention of the American citizens who never were offered Civics, 101 in high school.
MAGA, now and forever.
From the AceofSpades HQ blog:
Diversity Cola? To Be Less White, Coca-Cola Must Change Its Name[Buck Throckmorton]
—Open BloggerBravo to the Coca Cola Company for being bold enough to accuse every single one its white employees of being racist. It’s about time a major company had the guts to do so. According to the training that Coke compelled its employees to take, simply being white at the age of 4 means that you will be a racist for life. And best of all, white Coca Cola employees have been instructed to “Try to be less white.”
And though it’s important that Coke also mount an advertising campaign to similarly accuse its white customers of being racist too, it has a more immediate problem – the name Coca Cola is dripping with racism and white privilege, and it must be changed immediately. So, as much as I applaud Coke’s efforts to shame its white employees and customers for the hate-crime of being born white, every person who opposes racism must boycott Coca Cola until it changes its name.
Coca Cola was created by John Pemberton, a Confederate veteran of the Civil War who once owned slaves. He named the product, and therefore the name “Coca Cola” is forever smeared with the legacy of slavery and the Confederacy. Mr. Pemberton died in 1888, but his creation has lived on with the same name for another 130+ years.
When was the best time for The Coca Cola Company to change the name given to it by a slave-owning Confederate? That would have been in 1888. The next best time is now.
In the past year Uncle Ben’s and Aunt Jemima have changed their names, and even Sambo’s finally broke down and did the same. If Sambo’s can become Chad’s, and the Quaker Oats company can change the name Aunt Jemima to Pearl’s Milling Company, then surely Coca Cola can find some benign new name like Diversity Cola, right?
James Quincey is both the CEO and Chairman of the Board of The Coca Cola Company. Every shareholder – heck, every American who hates racism – is entitled to ask him why he is hanging on to the company’s white supremacist name, instead of following the bold leadership of companies like Quaker Oats.
While at it, we need to know what actions Mr. Quincey is taking to be less white. The same goes for every white executive and Board member at Coca Cola. By the way, if you look at the uppermost echelon of executives at The Coca Cola Company, they are whiter than a Whole Foods in Vermont. Yet they are making others confess their racism? Projection much?
So, I will be boycotting Coke products, but I will also buy one share of Coca Cola stock. As an owner I will demand that Coca Cola change its racist name, and demand that every executive and Board member tell me – an owner of the company – what they are personally doing to be less white.
When is Coca-Cola going to change their name?
Coca-Cola was created by John Pemberton, a Confederate veteran of the Civil War who once owned slaves. IOW a “racist”! Though neither that word or the concept behind it existed back then, that doesn’t matter as we have learned from those that are now “woke”. The Company name is forever stained by this fact!
And since Coca-Cola management is requiring all of it’s white employees to attend training in which they are telling their white employees to “try and act less white”, the management must change the company name or be exposed as the fakes they are. And then there are all the restaurant chains that have instituted their own programs of “wokeness” and yet still service Coca-Cola! They too will be exposed for the Charlatans they are unless they drop Coke if it doesn’t change it’s name.
Turns out be “woke” and buying into “counter culture” can have a price. A big one.
Those marketing geniuses at coke who came up with the dud, new coke concept decades ago
are bound to come up with “Clear Coke”, absent of any color at-tall…..how can that be discriminatory?
That should get them some type of award from the no-bell committee.
I remember clear Coke/Pepsi from the mid-70’s.

Excellent analysis concluding that the “Steal” was actually another Color Revolution (Ukraine Color Revolution centered at The Maidan)
On November 3-4, 2020 our country was subjected to “the steal” – a “color revolution” (seizing power via contested and manipulated elections rather than using military force). In other words, a coup – one overthrowing our Constitutional Republic – installing what could properly be referred to as The Biden-Harris Junta.

Also discusses the emotional turmoil that all Trump Supporters have experienced as a result of President Trump’s Re-Election being stolen from us.
“As a result, since the “election,” patriots have suffered and endured a whole host of emotions: disorientation, anger, fear, helplessness, resignation to defeat, and determination to resist (while not being sure how or where to start). For many of us, all of those, in alternating waves.
Even people not inclined to be fire-breathers have agonized about whether this may all result in the Democrats, for the second time, starting a hot civil war (much of their rhetoric and actions are certainly consistent with fomenting such an outcome, if not deliberate intent to incite just that).
Meanwhile, people of faith (myself included) have agonized about the coup, wondering if this country – increasingly “Progressivized” with a degenerating social fabric and embracing a culture of death (abortion) – is through this loss of our Constitutional Republic is facing God’s righteous wrath.”
We Had a “Color Revolution” Under “Color of Law” – But We Can Still Reclaim Our Country! – Trevor Loudon’s New Zeal Blog
Feisty. Well written. Fantastic portrait of the current situation and emotions.
I’m writing from a Canadian perspective. In general, Canadians for many years have leaned further left than the US population. That gap has dwindled significantly.
Romans 1:28 I think sums up our nations woes. I will give them up to a reprobate mind. God has been kept out of our schools, govt, and culture. The vast majority of the population has chased after the evil lusts of their heart. Now God will remove any hindrance so that these vile and immoral souls can ravage without restraint, but to their own destruction.
We, the believers, are caught in this hell for now.
Our hope thankfully is beyond the skies. Come soon dear Lord…come soon.

Holy Hieromartyr Vlásios, Archbishop of Sebastia, was from Cappadocia. A violent persecution of Christians emptied his town and he, as an old man, retreated to a cave. He was found, taken to be executed, but along the way healed a boy who had a bone stuck in his throat. He suffered for the Lord in 316.
Saint Caedmon (+ circa 680) of Whitby in England was a hymnographer.
Saint Theodora the Empress (+ 867) was the wife of the wicked Theophilos the Iconoclast. After his death she called the Bishops and Fathers to Constantinople for a Synod to restore the Holy Icons. This occasion became the Feast of the Triumph of Orthodoxy.
The Hoky Martyr George of Kratovo (+ 1515) was a Serb who went to Sofia in Bulgaria to avoid pressure to become a muslim. He met his martyrdom being burned at the stake there in Sofia after manfully defending Christ.

February 24, 2021
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”
— 2 Chronicles 16:9
Tomorrow, the U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on one of the greatest attacks on the First Amendment to ever be considered in the hallowed halls of Congress: the deceptively-named “Equality Act.” We have been warning about it for some time because it represents a grave threat — not just on one issue — but to many of the values that our nation holds dear. The Equality Act would overhaul our federal civil rights framework to mandate abortion access and special privileges for sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI), leaving many to suffer the consequences, including women, children, medical professionals, and people of faith.
Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET at prayvotestand.org, I will be joined by Dr. Ben Carson, founder and chairman of the newly-launched American Cornerstone Institute, and one who has demonstrated grace in the face of hostility. We will also hear from Pastor Mike McClure of Calvary Chapel San Jose, who has been at the tip of the spear in the legal battle over church gathering bans. Pastor McClure has been found in contempt of court, threatened with jail, and fined $2 million dollars — and yet his commitment to keeping open the doors of the church remains strong. The courage of both of these leaders will inspire you!
Join us tonight as we discuss significant issues, set our hearts on the only One who can bring healing in our lives and nation, and ask God for the courage to live out our faith in the face of an increasingly hostile culture.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
Amen…
Ad Rem, Lucille over at Stella’s says she can’t figure out how to sign up for CTH. I can’t remember what I did. It seemed like it just happened.
The prayer is working on its own now. Isn’t that nice? You don’t have to rush over to post it now. 🙂
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
