HYMN Just As I Am - George Beverly Shea

SCRIPTURE Psalm 51:1-12
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are justified in your sentence and blameless when you pass judgment.
Indeed, I was born guilty, a sinner when my mother conceived me. You desire truth in the inward being; therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have crushed rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.
HYMN Fill My Cup, Lord

PRAYER
Almighty God, Holy are you. We ask that your Spirit continue to act on, in, and through us. We often fail to do what you want us to do, but instead still do the things you don’t want us to do. Forgive us. And, help us to forgive the wrong actions of others against us.
We pray for your continued physical, mental and spiritual protection of President Trump and Vice President Pence. Continue to give them your wisdom with the courage to honor your will in governing our nation. Help them and their administration protect our country by restoring the rule of law and order. Deliver them from the organized evil directed against them by the political deep state establishment.
Let our nation return to Godly core values. Let our nation serve as an authentic witness to reveal the knowledge and hope of salvation through Jesus for a broken world.
We pray in Jesus name. Amen.
HYMN Amazing grace!

SCRIPTURE John 6:24-35
So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”
Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.”
Then they said to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”
Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
So they said to him, “What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing?
Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Then Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

SCRIPTURE Ephesians 4:1-16
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
Therefore it is said, “When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive; he gave gifts to his people.” (When it says, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.)
The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.
But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.

Wow, UMCRevMom@aol.com
You have laid out a worship service here.
Joining in prayer for our beloved America.
Agreeing that we be give a heart of repentance and cleansing of our sins so we grieve not the Holy Spirit. May the power of the Spirit spark revival and healing in our land. May all God’s children exercise our gifts to build up the body and our nation.
Protect the President and Vice President from the enemy on all fronts—especially the enemy within. Grant them wisdom and courage and strength to withstand the fury of the Devil incarnate in many of our leaders, judges, and our denizens,
Frustrate the evil machinations of the Deep State—especially the Mueller Witch Hunt. Frustrate all their plots against the principles of our republic. Expose them for who they are.
In Jesus Name
Amen
Amen!!!
Psalm 94
1 O Lord, you God of vengeance,
you God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth;
give to the proud what they deserve!
3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the stranger,
they murder the orphan,
7 and they say, ‘The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.’
8 Understand, O dullest of the people;
fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who disciplines the nations,
he who teaches knowledge to humankind,
does he not chastise?
11 The Lord knows our thoughts,*
that they are but an empty breath.
12 Happy are those whom you discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
13 giving them respite from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
15 for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
18 When I thought, ‘My foot is slipping’,
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who contrive mischief by statute?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He will repay them for their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.
Amen

Amen.

Hello All:
Your emails have blessed me knowing my meditation has brought encouragement.
I try to develop a little meditation with prayer for our nation. However, some folks access FreeRepublic with their cell. So, in the future I will place Scripture hyperlinks within meditation as I do for music.
Again, thank you for kind words. This group is a blessing to me as well.
Please share any or all of my meditation post with others.
One person within our group expressed how a family friend had committed suicide. She was comforted by any earlier Prayer Vigil post and shared with others in their grieving.
BTW, I chose this Amazing Grace rendition within the meditation by Andrea Bocelli. I also thought you would be touched by his life story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svw2LRCYOTM
Joining you in prayer, in Jesus Holy Name, Amen.

Approach [the Lord's] table because you would be good citizens, among the other reasons of the act; because you love, and you serve and save, your country; because you would have it long free; because you would be truly free yourselves. Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. If His Son shall make your free, ye shall be free indeed. Where He is not the deliverer, men may clamor, and boast, and carouse, and with bacchanalian revelry call themselves free; but they are the bondmen of corruption, the thralls of Satan. O be ye, unlike them, the freedmen of the Lord, whose service is perfect freedom.
