We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Blessed be the Name of the Lord, from this time forth and forevermore!
From the rising of the sun to its going down, the Lord’s Name is to be praised.”
Psalm 113:2-3
We sing: Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
He is worthy to be praised and adored!
So we lift up holy hands in one accord singing:
Blessed be the Name, Blessed be the Name, Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
(repeat)

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, for our First Lady, Melania, and their marriage
and for all the members of their family. We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.
In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit,
so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation.
Pray.
For protection, provision, and peace
for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!
As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, let those leaders that God anoints and appoints
take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
Pray.
For us to receive and put on the full armor of God as we begin this hour,
that we might be protected as we stand in the gap and pray for our nation!
Pray.

“Praise, O servants of the Lord! Praise the Name of the Lord!
Blessed be the Name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore!
From the rising of the sun to its going down, the Lord’s Name is to be praised.”
Psalm 113:1-3
In these troubled times, we may find it difficult to praise the Name of the Lord…especially when such vile things like the following situation at Walter Reed Hospital are taking place. May God grant us the grace to stand and worship Him over these situations, and intercede that they might be stopped and reversed, for His Glory! Let us read and pray into this travesty.
In a move that has literally stunned Catholics and religious freedom advocates, just before Holy Week, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD issued a “cease and desist order” to a community of Franciscan Catholic priests. The priests from Holy Name College had been ministering to service members and their families at the center for almost two decades. On April 7, the Catholic Archdiocese for the Military Services (AMS) announced that Walter Reed issued the order on March 31, just as the most sacred week of the year for Christians was beginning. Pray.
Corruption laid bare! The Catholic Archdiocese for the Military Services (AMS) noted that the contract for providing Catholic Pastoral Care was instead awarded to a secular defense contracting firm that does not have the capacity to offer Catholic pastoral services such as Mass and confession, which can only be administered by an ordained priest. Without the services of the Franciscan priests, there would be only one other Catholic priest assigned to Walter Reed, an Army chaplain who is currently “in the process of separating from the Army.” Pray.
Archbishop for the Military Services, Timothy P. Broglio, was perplexed by Walter Reed’s decision and expressed concern that it would infringe on the ability of Catholic service members and their families to freely exercise their faith while at the center. “It is incomprehensible that essential pastoral care is taken away from the sick and the aged when it was so readily available,” he said. “This is a classic case where the adage ‘if it is not broken, do not fix it’ applies. I fear that giving a contract to the lowest bidder overlooked the fact that the bidder cannot provide the necessary service. I earnestly hope that this disdain for the sick will be remedied at once and their First Amendment rights will be respected.” Pray.
Take a moment to lift up those in the Walter Reed Military Hospital who desire the spiritual comfort they are now being denied. Let the Holy Spirit move on them and bring the healing they and their families need. Pray.
Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill reacted forcefully, saying that the order was a direct attack on the First Amendment. “This is an unconscionable attack on Christian service members and the First Amendment by [President Joe] Biden, [Defense Secretary Lloyd] Austin, and [Joint Chiefs Chair General Mark] Milley,” tweeted Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL.) “The House must investigate why DOD did this, especially on Holy Week!” Pray.
AMS said that despite numerous appeals to Walter Reed by their general counsel Elizabeth A. Tomlin to reinstate the priests, at least through Holy Week, they received no response from the medical center.
“Especially during Holy Week, the lack of adequate Catholic pastoral care causes untold and irreparable harm to Catholics who are hospitalized and therefore a captive population whose religious rights the government has a constitutional duty to provide for and protect,” AMS stated. Pray.
This latest move by the military under the Biden administration fits a pattern of what many experts see as a steady erosion of religious freedom for those working for the armed forces.
- After the administration instituted a COVID vaccine mandate for all military personnel in August of 2021, most of the branches granted a tiny fraction of the religious exemptions that were requested before the mandate was rescinded in December 2022. Only 0.9% of religious exemption requests were granted in the Army, zero were granted in the National Guard, and 0.8% were granted in the Air Force. Pray.
- Additionally, in September of last year, the administration issued a rule mandating that Veterans Affairs medical facilities carry out abortions as well as provide abortion counseling. When a Christian nurse practitioner requested a religious accommodation on two occasions from having to participate in abortions, she was denied. She is now filing suit against the hospital for placing a substantial burden on her sincerely held religious beliefs. Pray.
Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. Boykin, a 36-year Army veteran who currently serves as executive vice president at Family Research Council, said Walter Reed’s cease and desist order showed harmful neglect of religious freedom. He said: “The First Amendment states that ‘Congress shall make no laws respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The US military should be held accountable for violating the intent of the First Amendment at the same time that drag queen programs are acceptable.” Pray.
We pray:
- That those in Congress, with oversight of the military, will demand that this violation of the First Amendment be reversed immediately, and those responsible will be removed from their positions. Pray.
- That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray.
- That the members of Congress will fully investigate and try the “usurper” Biden and all the corrupt members of his faux administration, convicting them of treason and restoring righteousness and justice for all!! Pray.
- Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
