Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for Presidential candidate DONALD TRUMP and Vice Presidential candidate MIKE PENCE.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 1 JOHN 5:14 Religion Forum threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind.
You see us through every trial. You give us strength to carry on when all seems lost. You are our REFUGE, a FORTRESS where our enemies cannot reach us.
Thank You, LORD, for Your Providence over America. Your MERCY, Your GRACE have seen us through every peril. Your LIGHT continues to shine through the darkest attack on American soil fifteen years ago today. You make all things work for good for those who love the LORD, according to Your purpose for them.
We repent for the sins our nation has made against You, LORD. Forgive us and help us to follow Your Commands. Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD.
Protect DONALD TRUMP/MIKE PENCE, their families, staff, and supporters. May DONALD TRUMP/MIKE PENCE seek Your face in everything they do. Give them wisdom, Words of Knowledge, and every Spiritual gift that is needed to carry out Your plans for their lives. Speak through them as they expose corruption in government and in business. May they give You the glory for their accomplishments. Awaken Your people to vote for righteous leaders to govern America and stand for Truth.
Uncover their adversaries' lies and befuddle their plans.
FATHER GOD, protect America and Israel from evil today. Bless and protect our first responders. May no weapon formed against them prosper. You are God alone.
In JESUS' Name we pray. Amen.

“DONALD TRUMP/MIKE PENCE PRAYER VIGIL ping!”
“To be added or dropped from this ping list, post or freepmail to stars & stripes forever.”
AMEN!
Thank you for the link. Beautiful song.
Stars & Stripes Forever, an excellent post, thank you.
AND, a wonderful bio: I hope all readers will look at the Scripture in your bio. These are promises from The One who created the stars...
I’m sorry, but Donald Trump will not save America: only God can deliver us from judgement, which is already upon us.
Read these Scriptures again: we must REPENT, and give our lives to Christ, if we hope to have a chance to escape the punishment of God, which we well deserve.
Invite Him back into our courts, our schools, our media, our government, and our churches. We’ve murdered MILLIONS of innocents... we live like pagans, loving our idols and our wickedness.
“Please King of Kings, give us another chance... in the name of Jesus Christ, Messiah, Lord, thank You Father, Amen.”
Amen.
That’s pretty slighting of His promise, if all we hope is a “chance” of “escaping His punishment.”
Those who hope in the “promise” of “gaining eternal reward” will see it richly. The former set is really being selfish.
I’m sorry too, but the good Lord can use the political as a medium for signs about things that are beyond the political. In that sense, yes Trump can be part of a salvation plan.
For the good Lord sees with a wisdom that transcends the immediate.
We might tend to think that if one egregious sin, or another one, were to be wiped off the scene then suddenly we we would be upon halcyon days.
That is not true, unfortunately. If we blasted away the entire visible tip of an iceberg, immediately more would bob up above the surface.
However if we patiently melted away the iceberg until we saw no more ice, it would be entirely gone, replaced by fresh water.
Our hard hearts are like icebergs. We will not receive love from the Lord, not because the Lord has become fickle, but because we have. It’s easy to point at other people’s sins, especially when they are spectacular; less easy to notice that our own sins have been making other people’s sins easier.
Saying some insomniac prayers. ;)
Thanks for the ping. They need our prayers. I really think this is a battle for the soul of our country.
I hope to move back soon. I miss the U.S.A. so much.
May God bless Mr Trump and Mr Pence, in their battle to take back the greatest country on earth.
Amen. :)
And also, an extra prayer, given that it is after midnight and it is now the fifteenth anniversary of the worst day ever. May those thousands of people rest in peace. No one who was alive on that day will ever forget what happened, what the terrorists did and what the victims had to do.
My father, a lawyer in Chicago, who has now passed away, told me that they wanted to get everyone out of the skyscrapers; they hustled everyone out quickly.
I kept trying to call, but of course, as you all know, the phone lines were totally overloaded.
Anyway...
FATHER GOD, You are our GOD in Whom we trust.
You see us through every trial. You give us strength to carry on when all seems lost. You are our REFUGE, a FORTRESS where our enemies cannot reach us.
Thank You, LORD, for Your Providence over America. Your MERCY, Your GRACE have seen us through every peril. Your LIGHT continues to shine through the darkest attack on American soil fifteen years ago today. You make all things work for good for those who love the LORD, according to Your purpose for them.
We repent for the sins our nation has made against You, LORD. Forgive us and help us to follow Your Commands. Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD.
Protect DONALD TRUMP/MIKE PENCE, their families, staff, and supporters. May DONALD TRUMP/MIKE PENCE seek Your face in everything they do. Give them wisdom, Words of Knowledge, and every Spiritual gift that is needed to carry out Your plans for their lives. Speak through them as they expose corruption in government and in business. May they give You the glory for their accomplishments. Awaken Your people to vote for righteous leaders to govern America and stand for Truth.
Uncover their adversaries’ lies and befuddle their plans.
FATHER GOD, protect America and Israel from evil today. Bless and protect our first responders. May no weapon formed against them prosper. You are God alone.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. Amen.

Re: “That’s pretty slighting of His promise, if all we hope is a “chance” of “escaping His punishment.”
He wasn’t referring to the soul salvation of an individual, he was speaking to the United States as a nation - in other words, for our nation to have any hope of escaping God’s punishment, which as a nation we do deserve, we as a people need to truly repent of our national sins - abortion, materialistic idolatry, apathy, etc.
The love of the Lord brought as much greatness to America as it had, although America was still flawed.
We have the lens of history now through which to see mistakes we can now endeavor to avoid. And the light of the love of the Lord to show us the general direction in which to go.
The entire world has always been a soul battle. Devil or God, ultimately one or the other must be committed to.

But soul salvations were the only thing that could bring a credible Christian view to these shores. There is nothing even to influence the unbeliever without that, and Christianity quickly turns into a list of rules hypocritically ballyhooed and impossible to keep.
To think merely “Christianized” is to once more woo failure.
Lord Jesus,
We so often remember, Lord, how the throngs of ordinary common men and woman heard you ad followed you, while the elites of that time opposed you so very much..... I wonder Lord, if Donald Trump has found comfort in you as he walks this path he’s on, with the opposition so cruel and unrelenting he faces and this from the similar likes of those who opposed you?......
Though we bring Donald to you, regarding this election, we are also very mindful of what his relationship with you might be or become. There are certainly a host of your servants you’ve placed around him and he does listen to them....but it is only by your spirits work will he be receptive to the salvation message they bring to him and the power of that message to reach his very heart and soul.
As much as we would like to see Donald Trump as our President, we would all the more wish his salvation to be assured, if indeed he has yet to take that step of faith.
So we do ask Lord that along this path you might meet him and create the perfect time and environment for this to happen, and if he’s already taken that step we ask that your spirit be his guide, that those who counsel him might be full of the wisdom he needs to know as they confer together..... That his mind and heart be alert and sensitive to hear rightly and that you would reason with him yourself as he walks.
May he understand and learn what you have for Him, in all his comings and goings, and that too of His staff and those you’ve appointed around Him.
We thank you for the answer Lord...you are the answer to all things...
In Your name,
Amen
Donald’s situation seems to show many signs of a divine light shined directly upon him — not that Donald came with any particular virtue or without vices, but the Lord chose Donald in order to express His own virtues at this time and place.
We must not shy away from a full salvational view of God. We must not be satisfied with a successfully selfish country, or else we will be satisfied in something that is doomed to fail.
Re: “Christianity quickly turns into a list of rules hypocritically ballyhooed and impossible to keep. To think merely “Christianized” is to once more woo failure.”
No one on this thread is advocating that.
You are so right, FRiend. Life always comes down to a choice.
I am still trying to get through C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce.
We are imperfect beings, trying to make our way through life. Trying to redeem ourselves.
Take care. I have to log off now... been spending too much time freeping in the middle of the night. :)
Hey! We should start a philosophy chat group! Seriously! :)
Amen
