Pray for our DUers who are in need at this time...

For DUers who are ill;

For DUers facing financial challenges;

For DUers beset by family and/or social problems;

For DUers who will be facing death, illnesses and other challenges of which they are not yet aware;

For DUers that are happy and productive in their lives; that they may continue in love and peace.

Amen.

Today I would like to add a group of people to keep in our prayers who are going through similar things I have been experiencing.

God's protection for people who firmly believe in the pandemic and the scientists and that Trump is not a good and religious man. There have to be others who are bullied, intimidated, and mocked for having similar feelings. This includes families and relatives and Friends so it hurts even more deeply then from a stranger on the street. There must be others who are sad and suffering from fragmented or broken relationships. Those who are encouraged to stop with the "stupid things" like social distancing. I can no longer associate with people who will defend this man and spew their racism and hatred toward others. A man who knows more than the scientists know. My patience has worn thin with those who spread Trump's lies. I don't only pray for people like myself, but for those who are so blinded by the hatred, racism, lies, and violence that has been erupting and always have a good excuse for why he is doing the things he is doing. There doesn't even seem to be Middle Ground anymore. God save us all!

For your kind words and prayers.

Today I am praying for God to protect people working at the polls and the voters. I hope he will keep them safe from violence and intimidation and the games that prevent some races for being able to freely vote in a reasonable amount of time.

This is the first election I have ever seen where I actually have felt the need to pray for protection for them.

Is still for the voters and poll workers and that they stay safe from harassment and intimidation.

I am also praying that during the debate tonight, the candidates will reveal their true self. It may help some of the last few undecided voters choose. I also pray for the moderator and the others involved since they are already under attack.

Of course I am doing a private prayer for Vice President Biden that he remains calm and isn't bullied so badly that he forgets his original goal or that his former disability returns. It's a selfish prayer, but if people can gather by the tens of thousands to pray Trump back into office, I will give myself this small Indulgence.

As he said, character is on the ballot.
The American people know the character of the two candidates.
Pray that the Electoral College doesn't get in the way ---again.

Is for a member who posted a picture of himself and his mother and said she just passed away. God bless her soul.

I'm also praying for the safety of the candidates, especially Joe Biden. I just read a news story about a 19 year old North Carolina citizen who had a van full of guns and a full plan to execute former Vice President Biden. He got within just a few miles of the vp's house in Delaware.

I'm praying to not be as judgmental as I am, but why does it always seem it is the far-right who are committing most of the acts of violence?

A misleading statement I made earlier today. From the evening news, I learned that the 19 year old man was actually a resident of Washington state and he was apprehended in North Carolina. I just didn't want to put false information out.
