A troubled nation turns to God

Dear God, please watch over our country, guide us, and help us as the New York City Landmarks Commission evaluates any plans to build a 13-story Islamic Mosque at Ground Zero, literally at the same building where the landing gear fell on 9/11, when Islamic Terrorists killed 2,996 innocent Americans and civilians. We ask that they don't insult the memory of the victims of the 9/11 tragedy, and don't reward the Muslim terrorists.

Defense Bill Includes Abortion Funding for Military Bases
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we pray for the defeat of the Defense Budget Amendment proposed by Senator Roland Burris (D-IL), that would fund abortions on military bases both domestic and overseas. We declare Psalm 139:13-16 that You knit us together in our mother’s womb, that all children are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that Your eyes saw our unformed body even before our days came to be, and so we stand for life. We praise You God, the author of Life, and ask boldly that this bill would fail miserably, in Jesus’ Name, Amen


Atheists Threaten “In God We Trust” in California City
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we know from Psalm 14:1 that the fool has said in his heart that there is no God, proving atheist complainer Annie Gaylor is a fool, and so is her organization the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Please silence the mouths of these fools, and grant us another court victory for the national motto, “In God We Trust”, to be displayed above the city seal of Ontario California, as the city council voted unanimously. God bless the Pacific Justice Institute with victory in defending the God-fearing people of Ontario, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.


Obama Declares June Homosexual Month
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we reject President Obama’s disgusting promotion of homosexuality and trans-gender genital mutilation, as he claims to speak for America by declaring June a month of arrogant pride endorsing these deviancies. Lord, we declare your word from Proverbs 29:2, “when the righteous rule the people rejoice, when the wicked rule, the people groan.” Lord, we groan at the wickedness Obama promotes, and we ask that You would bring this man to a place of real repentance and salvation, we pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.


Grassroots Efforts to Keep Out Kagan
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we pray for a miracle, that extreme liberal Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is denied a place on the Supreme Court.* We also pray boldly for a grassroots uprising to petition all 100 Senators to filibuster and block this wicked nominee. From Proverbs 21:21 we know that he who pursues righteousness and love, finds life, prosperity, and honor. Father, please honor your people and hear our cries for a righteous Supreme Court judge, not another wicked one. Raise up the godly to oppose the evildoer, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.


Judge Bans Graduations Held in Church
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we pray for U.S. District Court Judge Janet Hall who your word declares an unrighteous judge because she sides with evil and not righteousness, having just ruled that two Connecticut high schools cannot hold their graduations at The First Cathedral in Bloomfield because she says that is an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. Lord, even though the wicked rule, we declare from 1 Timothy 4:10 that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.


Gambling Law Takes Effect; Barney Frank Hates Law
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, thank you for passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act that took effect recently ordering banks to stop credit card and other electronic payments to illegal gambling websites. We ask now that You would stop Congressman Barney Frank from passing his new legislation that would overturn this good law. Lord, we know from 1 Timothy 6:10 that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and please protect families from the evil which gambling promotes, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Turkey's Catholic Bishop Beheaded by Muslims
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we are saddened and grieved by the recent beheading of Catholic Bishop Luigi Padavese of Turkey, who was murdered by Islamic terrorists who yelled “Allah Akhbar! I killed the great Satan!” while butchering the Christian to death. From 2 Corinthians 1:4 we pray God comforts His Church, and allow the Church to offer comfort to the poor people of Turkey who are oppressed by radical Islamic terrorists. We pray for the terrorists themselves, that God would deliver them out of such a dark and false religion, and bring them to justice, in Jesus Name, Amen.



Pro-Life Prayer Made Illegal in Washington, DC
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we thank you for the stand of Bound4Life and the Rev. Patrick Mahoney who was recently arrested for praying on a public sidewalk, to end abortion in Washington DC. God we know that sidewalk was public for decades despite brand new deceptive claims by Planned Parenthood, who now says it’s their own private property. So we pray from Deuteronomy 28:3 that Your people would be blessed in the city, and the country and that the world will see what is happening to righteous people in America while they stand for You, in Jesus Name, Amen.



Florida Governor Charlie Crist Betrays Pro-Lifers, Vetoes Ultrasound Bill
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we declare James 1:8, that a double-minded man is unstable in all of his ways, exposing Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who once claimed to be pro-life but now has dropped any pro-life message from his campaign website, and even worse, thumbed his nose at conservatives by vetoing a bill that would require abortion-minded women to see an ultrasound picture of their innocent child. This despite thousands of pro-life people contacting Crist and urging him to sign the bill. God inspire the people of Florida to throw Crist out of office, in Jesus Name, Amen.


9-6 Vote to Keep Homosexual Blood out of Blood Supply
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we thank you for 9 members of the Department of Health and Human Services who voted to keep homosexual blood out of our national blood supply, since the Merck Medical Manual (p. 1500, 15th ed.) reports that 28% of male homosexuals admit having more than 1,000 sex partners, and 75% admit multiple sexual contacts with strangers, and AIDS continues to grow exponentially among gay men. God keep our blood donors clean, and we know from Hebrews 9:22 that only the blood Jesus shed on the cross can forgive our sins, in Jesus Name, Amen.



N.Y. Senate Committee Rejects Gender Bill
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we thank you for the narrow 12-11 victory in the New York State Senate Judiciary Committee that voted to reject the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, which would have forced sharing of all public women’s bathrooms with cross-dressing men, and created special rights for self-mutilaters. God now help the U.S. Congress reject Barney Frank’s ENDA bill that would do the same thing nation-wide, since in Genesis 2 God created man and woman without any mistakes, the same way Jesus defined marriage in Matthew 19, in Jesus Name, Amen.



Obama’s Judge Chatigny Lenient on Sex Offenders
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we pray You help defeat President Obama’s promotion of Judge Robert Chatigny to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, since he gave sex offenders, rapists, and child pornographers lean sentences and disregarded the suffering of the victims. Lord, even the liberal Senator Feinstein (D-CA) declined to vote for his nomination! From Proverbs 29:2 we pray for righteous judges who can properly discern good from evil, and defeat those like Robert Chatigny who side with the perpetrators instead of their victims. God protect the innocent by causing his nomination to fail, in Jesus name, Amen.

Methodist Seminary Promotes False Religions
Let Us Pray. Almighty God, we obey Ephesians 5:11 by exposing the evil deeds of darkness at the Claremont School of Theology who just created a “University Project” designed to promote training in the false religions of Islam, Hinduism, and other idolatry. They deny Jesus’ teaching in John 14:6, that nobody comes to the Father except through Christ, and abuse funding from Methodist Churches founded by John Wesley. God we pray You condemn the heretics at this school, and pray You grant discerning of spirits to students, to seek biblical doctrine elsewhere, in Jesus Name, Amen.
