Both Kavanaughs are active Catholics and often refer to their faith.
Pinging. Saw you refer to this in the America Vigil thread.
I like this one better:
Psalm 64
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
from the plots of evildoers.
3 They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
they shoot suddenly, without fear.
5 They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, Who will see it[b]?
6 They plot injustice and say,
We have devised a perfect plan!
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
7 But God will shoot them with his arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
8 He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9 All people will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
10 The righteous will rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory in him!
I’ve been praying for Judge Kavanaugh and his family since he was nominated. I will keep praying for them as long as it takes.
Amen. Thank you for posting this.
Amen.
Again, I’m joining others in prayers for Judge Kavanaugh and his family. May the Lord protect them through this latest trial.
Amen and Amen
By multiple accounts, Mrs K is a very nice person and a devoted wife and mother. I can’t remember anything in politics (not even the despicable conduct of the Clintons) that has made me angrier than the way the Kavanaugh family has been treated over the past few weeks. I don’t know them, have never met any of them, but I feel personally outraged by what has been done to them. There was an article within the last couple days that proposed the idea that the Left is very much doing this to send a message and flex its muscles: if they can demonize and destroy the squeaky clean, mainstream, inoffensive Kavanaughs, then they can do it to anyone.
Amen
We can see spiritual warfare by the wicked in government in what is going on against the Kavanaugh family. We need to pray for God’s protection of the Kavanaughs and our country from these evil people.
There is a verse from Genesis repeated from HipnChips that really resonates with the Kavanaugh trauma:
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
— Genesis 50:20
Time 11:14

Gods will never take you where His love cannot protect you. Or something like that.
Saving of many lives. Unborn children come to mind. And the hope of Roe v. Wade reversal.
Is it any wonder why Satan is pulling out all the stops?!
a lady reminded us at church yesterday about this request...
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified. But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
Psalm 40:1-17
Thank you so much CondoleezzaProtege. :D
Powerful prayer. I’m going to keep this close in general! ;D
