Prudence dictates that when man fails, we must call upon God for help. When Man solves a problem he solves it partly or he solves it on the perspective he views the problem. When God solves problems he solves not only the immediate problem, but other problems that may occur with in the solution.

Facing our nation and threatening our freedom is an evil that was never thought of before. We, in this generation, have attempted by our means, to solve the crisis and stop the wickedness of that evil. We have been blocked on every avenue and we have been attacked within that blockade.

As a result of this wickedness and evil, and due to the blockade and stonewalling, I feel it is time to bring our concerns to the table of the Lord. I feel if we as a group on daily basis exercise our communication with the Lord, our God, and place all our concerns in His hands, through faith He will send signs and answer our prayers.

Now we are of different faiths, but Prayer is not. Prayer is the greatest power we have against evil. I will declare that I am a Roman Catholic, however these prayers are actually Jewish prayers, I am posting once a day a single Psalm of David, from the book of the Bible called Psalms.

I will also begin the post with an ancient ritual, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit", then I will state the Psalm, then end the prayer with "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen"

At this point after I have stated the Psalm of the day, I invite all of you to write a prayer in a post based upon the Idea of the Psalm.

Please no politics, or theology, just prayers, it is my intention to storm heaven with faithful prayers of our fears and concerns seeking help from the Almighty to help us bring us closer to Him, and to unite us, through His Grace, and Help us take back our inheritance that our relatives fought and died for. Therefore, this Prayer effort goes beyond the Church, Christianity, and all faiths. This is the Children of God, talking with God, seeking comfort and assistance in this time of trouble. This is not a religious effort, this is an effort of the people laying their concerns before God.

Now some prayers written here may be traditional be cause we are the Children of God, living in a God-fearing nation. We in our perspective cultures pray to the same God. Therefore, laying our concerns in public, using the Guide of King David is justified. However, being a child of the Eighties, I do believe to make it more personal, go ahead and lay your petitions as your heart tells you to, and add them to this prayer.

Remember, Jesus Christ and His Father, the God, Almighty, does listen to tears from the heart. So if you feel to share stories of the Lord working in your life. Feel free to do so. Do not feel ashamed, for the Lord knows what's in your heart and is curious to hear from you. Although He knows what you are asking for, He loves when His children ask Him. We are God's most loved creatures in all creation, He created us in His Image, and teaches us His Wisdom every day of our lives.

If you wish to praise Him, by all means do it. If you wish to request help do it. Here you are free to talk to God as you wish, and no shame will be tolerated. Thank you.

Let me begin with the Prayer that Jesus taught us,

"In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen"

"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 the kingdom,
the power and the glory
are Yours, now and forever.

Amen.

A Psalm of David, "The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And wh**ever he does shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish." Psalms 1:1-6

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, And of the Holy Spirit, Amen"

May you have a great Day, today and always. God Bless You all! Please pray:

In the first three sentences one can see the insidious progression of sin. A man walks with people he considers friends, but maybe not the best ones for him. They come across something that looks interesting so he is enticed by his "friends" to stop and see. The next thing you know they are sitting in a place he never intended to be and now is a part of something he should not be a part of.

I believe there may be a complimentary Scripture found in 2Peter 1:1-10
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord;
Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, thru the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
For by these he has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them we might become partakes of the divine nature, having escaped corruption that is in the world by lust.
Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence and in your moral excellence, knowledge;
and in your knowledge, self control, and in your self control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love,
for if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things you will never stumble.

My prayer is this, may the eyes of our heart be always open that we do not fall into any unseen snares that might disqualify us for the prize He holds out to us. Amen.

Father, I thank you and praise you for this wonderful section of your word. I praise you as the creator and sustainer of this entire universe. I pray Lord, that all men/women will begin to look and listen to what is going on around them. Lord, if the sounds or the actions of those that we may keep company with do not honor you, give use strength and courage to depart from them lest they lead us into temptation.
Father help us to have and use discernment to know those who are true to you vs. those who merely talk the talk but do not walk the walk, if we must be in the presence of those who do not know you, give use the courage to stand up for our convictions and belief in you. May your Holy Spirit soften their hearts and take the blinders off their minds that they may see the glorious light of the Gospel.

Help us not to doubt, because doubt leads to discouragement, and discouragement leads to denial. Stop our ears from hearing the scornful, the complainers, the skeptics and allow us to keep standing on your promises. Lord help us not to lean on our own understanding but fully lean and trust in your Word, The Holy Bible; may we make it a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our paths as we go through the daily act of living. Thank you for life, and allowing us to experience it.
Father the more deeply we dig into the rich soil of Your Word, the deeper our roots go and the stronger we are able to stand against the adversities of life that pop up out of nowhere.

I know there are no surprises to you because you see the end from the beginning. All we can do is ask you to equip us for today. We thank you for hiding tomorrow because I fear some would not continue on. Remind us Lord that we can do anything through Christ who strengthens us.
As you plant us in the places where we may be strengthened and enriched by the rivers of living waters that flow from the throne of God, may fruit be produced in us that will accomplish what you expect .
May it produce results in the lost as well as the saved, the sinner and the saint. Father teach us that in order for our actions to be right and good, our hearts and minds must be changed first. That can come in no other way except we are Born again. Help use to see this and grasp on to your mercy and grace, and ever be thankful to Jesus for having the control, the courage, and commitment to go all the way to the cross and die for our sins. May each of us know that He did that for every man, woman, boy, girl who will accept that t***h.
Father thank you for the hope that springs eternal in that you said that you would never leave us or forsake us. May the Old, the young know that your t***h will never fade. Let every race and color know that The Love of Christ is no respecter of any particular race creed or color. His love transcends our understanding, yet it is so simple a child can receive it.
Lord I pray for those who don’t know you or understand you, help them to understand the way to a joy filled, contented life is found in following you. That all other roads finally reach a dead end with no future but the heavenly highway is a road that goes to and through eternity of which there is no end.

And Lord let saint and sinner alike know that everyone is going to live forever someplace, help everyone to see that the words concerning Heaven or Hell are not the words of men, but the Words of the Creator of this universe. Help them to number their days. Many are just starting on the road of life, but many have less time in front of them than behind them. Father help them to stop and consider where they will chose to spend eternity. Lord I ask you to forgive me of my sins; and I pray all of this in Jesus name. Amen

Heavenly Father, Blessed Savior, imbue me with the Holy Spirit that my words maybe pleasing to You.

You have blessed me to be born in an exceptional country. You have blessed this Nation, and its people that we stand out in the world, but we have drifted. When Israel prospered, they felt they did not need You and they would drift. You would gently nudge them, hoping they would wake up and take the hint. We have so drifted. We are guilty of leaving the fold, and as sheep are prone to do - foolishly wander on our own - I CAN DO IT attitude. NO, NO, NO - we cannot do it, not without You Lord. I am crying in my heart - we need You, we want You, come hold us, wipe our tears, calm our fears. Forgive us our sins, forgive me my sins, for I am a sinner and I need You. You are my Light, my Love, my Lord - leave me never, keep me ever, ever near thee. Never let me go Lord, I am a child. Protect this Nation.

All I pray and ask in the name of my Blessed Savior Jesus Christ, giving You all praise, honor and glory, for You alone Lord are worthy. Thank You Dear Father. Amen

Wonderfully written Ranger and a blessing to read. I would like to share what I think is a relevant prayer from a very relevant American:

Thomas Jefferson

A Prayer for the Nation

Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from p***e and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people, the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
--Washington D.C., March 4, 1801

My thoughts and prayer for all of you,

Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16

God bless!

Good morning all, and I very much appreciate all the prayers thus, far. God is listening. But we must gather more of his flock. Ask friends, family memebers, relatives to join and pray with us.

As promised, I will post one Psalm a day at 0600 Central standard time.

"In the Name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...."


"A Psalm of David.....

The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom
Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
“Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
“Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”
“I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
You shall break[a] them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”
Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him." Psalms 2:1-12

as a special intention to our troops overseas, and anyone who is in distress, be they American or Israeli,

"St. Michael the arch-angel
Defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
And do oh Heavenly Host, cast into hell, Satan and all evil spirits
Wandering this earth, seeking the ruin of men's souls"

"In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen"

Good morning, may the good Lord guide our steps this day.

Dear Father, Precious Jesus, I ask you have the Holy Spirit endow me with pleasing words.

O Lord, I come to ask that You shelter our Nation from those who plot and plan to tear it down. They have no regard for Israel during her hour of conflict, therefore, I come in prayer for Your land. Shelter Israel now, show Your displeasure to Hamas. O Lord, show them Your mighty strength.

Have the leaders of nations take note as to what Your might can do. Jolt them into awareness that You are Lord and they dare not touch Israel. Shake the foundations under the evil leaders, open their eyes in fear, have them know You are in control.

The kings, of the earth, plot to rid Your image, Your being from among the people, but it is in vain because You have planted The Word in the hearts' of Your children. Your sheep know Your voice, they come when You call.

You are Lord, the Royal King, the Treasured One who will come to claim Your church and no man is great enough to stand in Your way. Have the evil ones tremble in fear, and look for explanations for the strange events that no one understands. Have kings seek seers who are as blind as they are, but the child will know.

Your chosen ones will see Your hand and they will know. The child will accept 'It is written, it is Your Word.' The child knows, and the child bows in prayer, and You hear them. You protect them, You see to it that they have shelter under Your mighty wings.

Who is the child? The true believers. They will shout Hallelujahs and triumphant praises to You, O Lord. They will know, they will trust, and they will experience no fear.

All I pray and ask in the name of my Blessed Savior Jesus Christ, giving You all praise, honor and glory, for You alone Lord are worthy. Thank You Dear Father. Amen
