A Prayer For Peace:

A moment of silence…

Transparent_574x341.png

A prayer:

Dear God,
We extend our prayers to all leaders, regardless of whether they have our support at the polls. In alignment with the prophet Jeremiah, we pray for the peace and prosperity of our nation (Jeremiah 29:7),” stated Kim. “We strive to coexist peacefully with our neighbors, to convey truth to those in authority, to assist those in need, to safeguard the vulnerable, and to show love to all individuals created in God’s image, including those with whom we may hold significantly differing viewpoints.
Amen.

Jeremiah 29:7:
New International Version
7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile,
and pray to the Lord on its behalf,
for in its welfare you will find your welfare”.

Present:
I continue wishing great peace and healing to a country under transition, that has been tattered in the form of invasion, inflation, over-government including over-taxation, intermittent discrimination, censorship, and more. There will be hope with my higher power to let the world mull and pray that peace will be able to be maintained.

Future:
I’m hoping for the peace of our whole country and unity for all, far into the future of the U.S.A., and beyond the coming semiquincentennial year of 2026 (250 year anniversary year).

This season of House Speaker vote for Speaker, Senate nominations, and inaugurations will all happen with a half-mast flag in honor of the integrity of our recent passing of the 39th President Jimmy Carter.

God Bless the U  A !

Remembering President Jimmy Carter
