    Prayer of Entreaty 
    Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God,' and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

    Oh Lord, like the Philippians, we live in a world full of temptations to lose faith and to become anxious. World events are flashed before our eyes daily even hourly. But we live in a situation where, for the most part, all we can do is watch and pray that your sovereign will will be carried out in history, bringing your kingdom to earth as it is in heaven. And so we come to you now asking that you would indeed continue to be faithful to work in our world so that your name will be praised among the nations.

    We lift up to you the Congress of the United States. We ask that you would grant them individual and corporate wisdom to lead your people in a way that will continue to allow us to spread your Good news to every comer of our nation and to every other nation on the face of the earth.

    We pray for our state and local officials; that you would do a work in them that will amaze even them as you work in them to grant peace and stability to your church. We pray that New Saint Andrews College would be granted their conditional use permit in the up coming hearing and that they would be allowed to continue to teach and educate their students to your glory and majesty.

    We call upon you so that you would use our recent and local events to cause your people to draw closer to you. We pray that through this more intimate contact, we would become more and more like Christ, as you lavishly pour your transforming Grace out on us.

    We also ask that you would use the events and characters in this grand drama to be the means by which you open the eyes of the blind, and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to yourself so that they might receive forgiveness of sins and a place in the company of the saints. We pray for souls to be saved and lives to be changed.

    Oh Lord God, we beg you to not remain silent. You are the God we praise, the God of our praise. We are surrounded by enemies: without and within. They attack us with lying tongues and false lips. They return evil for good, slander for godly guidance. They invent lies hoping to entrap us with their smears and their deceit. They desire to tear us down while they somehow hope to gain respect and admiration for themselves. But seeking to destroy the Lord's anointed only ends in calamity for those who do the betraying. With this in mind we ask that you would give them the results they are working so diligently to accomplish in us. We pray that you would give them what they deserve: that you would squash them like bugs before your mighty throne.

    Finally, father, we pray that you would grant wisdom, patience, compassion, steadfastness, and courage to our parents as we continue to strive to bring up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Our desire, like yours, is to have godly children and we know that this desired goal can only be met if you are in us working your good pleasure through us to our children. So we come to you and ask that you would give us more of yourself, so that our children might grow up to stand on our shoulders and take the next steps in bringing the world under the authority of Christ.

    We bring all these prayers to you in the Name of the one who died and gave himself for us: Jesus the righteous one. Amen.

      "You have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.' But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, `You fool!' shall be liable to the hell of fire."
