Would you copy and paste it here, please? Where did the idea come from? I went to the link above, but couldn't find info about the praying...?

Not sure if you mean the prayer I shared, but just in case:

God Most High,

We come confidently before your throne but contritely, with the full knowledge that our nation deserves judgment. Yet we ask for mercy instead of judgment and for a reprieve from the evil instead of destruction. We ask that you intervene in the affairs of men, that you counteract the subterfuge, that you stay the hand of evil. We ask that you disable those in power whose intent is wicked and that you lift up and strengthen those who seek what is good and righteous.

Lord, we know that you see all things and know all things. We know that you favor those who fear you and hate those who do evil. We also know that you can β€œturn the heart of the king” to do your will and that all things are your servants. Work all things together for the good of those who love you while you show yourself mighty in the midst of the wickedness. We ask you to vanquish the darkness and turn the hearts of the people to you. Thank you for hearing and answering.

In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

Scriptures:

Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. β€” Hebrews 4:16

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

And He has not rewarded us according to our iniquities. β€” Psalm 103:10

Yahweh your God is in your midst,

A mighty one who will save.

He will be joyful over you with gladness;

He will be quiet in His love;

He will rejoice over you with joyful singing. β€” Zephaniah 3:17

For the eyes of Yahweh move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is wholly devoted to Him. β€” 2 Chronicles 16:9a

The LORD favors those who fear Him, Those who wait for His lovingkindness.

β€” Psalm 147:11 NAS

The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all workers of iniquity.

β€” Psalm 5:5

He knows all things. β€” 1 John 3:20b

The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of Yahweh; He turns it wherever He pleases. β€” Proverbs 21:1

For all things are Your servants. β€” Psalm 119:91b (NAS)

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. β€” Romans 8:28

Yahweh keeps all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy. β€” Psalm 145:20

It's too bad that substack doesn't have any response stronger than "like".
