I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 45.4: Ride b4 us 2 defend the right, dear #Christ! Ths hymn came 2 mind & stuck there. #Jesus' death was 2 defend the right, fitting ths #prayer. I see us filling in behind Him as He rides. Wht right r we defending? Also heading 2 death? #PCUSA www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_Ct...
I #pray 2da frm Ruth 1.6: Consider--give wht we need, dear #Christ! in the #Bible here, the Israelites need food as do we. Wht else do we need, making ths my #prayer 2da? Wht do those u #love need? Wht'll #Jesus consider in ur #life 2da & provide 2da? Wht's tht enable u 2 b or do? #PCUSA #Christian
I #pray 2da frm Mk 7.15: Keep us frm wht deflies, dear #Christ! So many hate-filled words & cruel actions tempting us make ths my #prayer 2da. Wht defilement will #Jesus keep frm coming out of u 2da? So much now pushes us 2 use the f word. Does tht speech defile us? Wht do u think abt here? #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 44.7: Put 2 confusion those who hate us, dear #Christ! There r those who claim I hate them (as far as I know myself I don't) and they hate me. My #prayer here's, perhaps, the kindest thing, if Karen Moning's correct. May #Jesus bring their #hearts 2 bear. It is a lie. #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm Judges 17.8: Where shall we find a place, dear #Christ? Did #Jesus answer my #prayer as I searched Google 4 an image & ths 1 directing us 2 r happy place caught my eye? Do u know where ur happy place is? Is it easy to get 2? Is it Jesus answer 2 u here or is ur place another? #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm Mark 2.23: Make us well, dear #Christ! Wht sickens ur body or #spirit making ths ur #prayer 2da? I c r whole country & even world suffering frm Trump's addictive disease. It is a community illness. How'll #Jesus make us well frm ths 2da? How'll tht feel? Wht's possible then? #PCUSA
Chump's Never Had A Plan,Other Than To Enrich Himself, And
Family Of Criminals......
I #pray 2da frm Judges 14.19: Rush Ur #spirit upon us, dear #Christ! In the Bible here, #God's spirit rushes on Samson who kills a lion & captures a town. These aren't the outcomes I want as I make ths my #prayer. I want strength 2 challenge #MAGA. How'll #Jesus give us tht 2da? #PCUSA #Christian
I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 43.3: Let Ur #truth lead us, dear #Christ! Being bombarded wth lies in these times makes this my fervent #prayer 2da. The notes in the Glory 2 #God hymnal suggest ths's more abt truth than Communion. Do u c tht? Is it #Jesus' reply 2 us? #PCUSA www.youtube.com/watch?v=euz0...
I #pray 2da frm Mark 3.5: Restore wht is withered in us, dear #Christ! Wht feels withered in u 2da? In these times we need 2 b super strong, making ths my #prayer. How'll #Jesus restore wht feels withered in u 2da? Is it possible tht just feels weak but really is not? Is tht a challenge 4 u? #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm Judges 7.15: Give r foes in2 r hands, dear #Christ! Is #Orban 's defeat in #Hungary the start of #Jesus giving r foes in2 r hands? Do we really have "foes"? How will they come in2 r hands 2da? How're we 2 treat them? That's such a nice problem 2 have--the tide may b turning. #PCUSA
ICE arrested more people on Long Island (NY) than ever before. The numbers keep growing.
You would never know it if you lived here. ICE has learned how to be low-key.
Be warned.
I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 40.2: Draw us out of the miry bog, dear #Christ! I've been drawn 2 ths image in past years but these present times feel so deeply 2 me like "a miry bog" tht I make it my #prayer again 2da. How'll #Jesus draw u out of fixation on r present crisis 2da? Wht's comes then? #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm Mark 1.11: Be well pleased wth us, dear #Christ! I was reading a Nouwen book during the 1993 Reimagining Conference. He claimed there tht #God's words 2 #Jesus here r 4 all of us. I have clung 2 tht promise but also wonder, making ths my #prayer 2da. How'll u please Him 2da? #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm Judges 2.22: C us take care 2 walk in Ur way, dear #Christ! Wht helps u take care 2 walk in #Jesus' way? Mayb #Scripture or examples or wise teachers? Wht'll He c 2da that'll answer ths #prayer? I'm off soon 2 the Friday vigil at the local #ICE offices. Is tht in His way? #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm Romans 15.4: By steadfastness, grant us #hope, dear #Christ! As I read ths in the #Bible, #Jesus' steadfastness filled my mind but, as I make ths my #prayer, I also see r steadfastness 2 Him as a factor in r hope. Do u c wht I mean, wht I'm saying? Wht hope does He give u 2da? #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 39.8: Do not make me the scorn of the fool, dear #Christ! Last year and now--Trump's 2nd term--focuses on ths verse becoming my #prayer 2da. The fact is, he habitually scorns & insults us so wht am I asking here & wht's #Jesus answer 2 my cry? Is it ur yearning as well? #PCUSA
Now seems like an ideal time for Military and Intelligence leaders to rewatch this video about following illegal orders
#warcrimes
My Republican colleagues are turning a blind eye as the President escalates unhinged threats to obliterate an entire civilization. A moral failure and cowardice of the highest order.
Speaker Johnson must bring the House back to stop this blatantly illegal, immoral threat.
I #pray 2da frm Josh. 17.4: According 2 Ur command, give us an inheritance, dear #Christ! Few #prayers rise frm the #Bible in the allotments here. Women were 2nd class but r honored wth land here, making ths my #prayer. How're u under, like them? Wht inheritance will #Jesus hand 2 u 2da? #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm Rom. 13.13: Let us live honorably as in the day, dear #Christ! On Saturday, my #prayer was simply, "let us live." #Easter Monday, #Jesus has led the way thru His resurrection. 2da I add r part. The "honorable" is up 2 us as He brings the light. How'll all ths come 2gether 2da? #PCUSA
I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 38.1: Do not rebuke us in Ur anger, dear #Christ! In these times, I cannot get 2 #Easter quite yet. I'm 2 conscious of r crimes. We're much more the money changers than the #faithful, making ths my #prayer. How does #Jesus hold back 2da? #PCUSA #God www.wesa.fm/identity-com...
I #pray 2da frm Joshua 9.20: Let us live, dear #Christ! Imagine experiencing 2da not knowing wht will b discovered tomorrow. As I sit 2da in the stillness of death & sin, ths is my #prayer. & Alleluia tht we do know #Jesus' answer in tomorrow's miracle: He leads the way 2 #life. #PCUSA #Christian
I #pray 2da frm Rom. 11.22: Continue Ur #kindness 2ward us, dear #Christ! I confess, I aspire 2 do wht Mother Teresa commends here--2 shed kindness on others. It's possible by #Jesus answering ths #prayer. His kindness flows thru us. Do u c wht I'm saying? Do u agree? Do u feel His kindness? #PCUSA
Please listen to this all the way through. It is important that we stay in this fight. Thanks in advance for listening to this.
I #pray 2da frm Joshua 4.23: Dry up the waters that we may cross, dear #Christ! Wht barrier blocks ur way, making ths ur #prayer 2da? Wht way will #Jesus make 4 u out of no way 2da?

The CoreCivic number asked me for a company pin. I couldn't go further.
I #pray 2da frm #Psalm 37.6: Make the #justice of r cause shine, dear #Christ! Do u have a cause? Do u agree wth Clarence Darrow here? Does the lostness of ur cause make it just or make ths ur #prayer 2da? How does #Jesus make ur cause shine 2da? Wht tht feel like? Wht's it make possible? #PCUSA
And this is on our hands. The military must say NO to these immoral, illegal orders. The Republicans must say--No more. Impeach, Convict. Remove.
I #pray 2da frm Rom. 9.15: Have #compassion on us, dear #Christ! It feels like a good while since I shared a hymn with my #prayer. It's a bit of a lost heritage in my #church. Urs,2? Is ths music #Jesus' answer 2 us 2da or does something else lay #mercy on u? #PCUSA www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_oz...
