Thank Jesus for Senator James Lankford from Oklahoma, a strong Christian whose growing influence is having a positive and profound effect in Washington. Share your prayers for Senator Lankford with him HERE.
Blessed is the one . . . whose delight is in the law of the Lord (Ps 1:1-2)
“As music plays softly and the Quail Springs Baptist Church prepares to sing ‘Jesus Is Tenderly Calling,’ the guest speaker urges the crowd to bow and pray.
‘Here’s my very simple invitation,’ the fill-in preacher tells the congregation. ‘There’s a God who loves you and will walk with you through some very difficult things. Are you interested in coming to know him?’
It’s a traditional altar call — the kind offered in countless evangelical churches each Sunday.
What makes this one unusual is the person behind the pulpit: U.S. Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., a rising political star who mixes a boyish, Opie Taylor-like face with a booming, bass voice.
In the nation’s capital, Lankford’s weekdays consist of Senate Intelligence Committee hearings into Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential election and frequent cable news appearances to discuss policy questions ranging from national security to health care. . . .
Lankford turned to his faith when a gunman opened fire June 14 on the Republican congressional baseball team: Lankford prayed on the Senate floor for House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., and three others who were wounded.
Despite Lankford’s increasing national prominence, the 49-year-old lawmaker says he remains more a pastor than a politician.
‘This feels more like home,’ Lankford says as familiar church members line up to greet him after the service, telling him they pray for him and encouraging him to remain strong. (Excerpted from Religion News Service, reporting by Bobby Ross Jr.)

GOD BLESS oKSenator Langford.
Oh God our Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, you foreknew this man in the Senate, Mr. Lankford. Stir him always to the cross that all his thoughts as he represent his district and his people and so our nation in the Senate to only speak the truth with courage. As he speaks, Lord, open the ears of his hearers to hear and open their eyes to see his the matter of what is good for the welfare of his constituents and the nation, so that hearts maybe renewed to the glory of Your name. As you did so with Moses, supply the words that he speaks, so lives maybe changed for the plan that you have. Nothing Lord skips Your notice. Surround this man Mr. Lankford and lead him to do Your will for the sake of your most precious Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior who lives and reigns with You in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Dear Senator Lankford,
Thank you for serving the people of your state and these United States. Government is a messy place to serve these days. I am thankful for each disciple of Christ that is serving the Lord and the American people in our government. I pray that the Lord will give you vision and crown you with favor as you carry out His will in the place He has called you to serve. May you and your family be salt and light to those in your sphere of influeance. May you daily experience Lord’s guidance, His protection and His blessings, in Jesus name, Amen
Dear Lord,
Thank you for a fine, upstanding Christian man willing to serve this country. May he use his gifts to persuade fellow Senators to follow You first, but then the Constitution of this country which was written by other fine men, some of whom were Christians, but all had the ethics and love of country only You could inspire.
Please be with Senator Lankford as he serves our country and YOU!
In the name of Jesus I ask this.
Praise God that you Pastor Lankford have faith in the true Lord God, and may your love of Him be a light for our Congress and the Administration to seek Him, accept Him as personal Savior and Lord, repent, recant of sins (all of us) and follow in His footsteps. His followers are not ashamed to tell others of His love for them and all, by what He did for us on the cross.. a free ticket to Heaven with Him. Can’t earn it, but in response, we need to do as He did, said. God bless your ministry under Him.
where ever He leads you to do so. in His service. This country belongs to God as does the world and we need God fearing people in our twp., cities, States, Federal -Congress etc. offices too. Need to keep praying for Godly Leaders. Thank you for bringing peace to many from the Lord as they trust, hear, read His word. Inspired by your sermon’s under Him.
I thank Jesus so much fir your life. You are a beacon and thus a testimony to the way to live a To how God meant our lives to be. Thank you for being fruitful in the midst of a lot of evil put forth by men and women who want to live their lives with man as their God or should I say live a life that has no room for a God who loves them so much. I will pray for you and other Christians who are lights to a dark and selfish world. Thank you again for courage to show the way and who God really is.
Dear Senator Lankford,
Thank you for the labor of love that you perform for our nation. I pray that God’s word shall not return unto you void, but it shall accomplish that which God please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto He sent it.” I pray that Proverbs 2: 1-8 will prosper you in everything you need to in your job as senator. “My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, 2) turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— 3) indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4) and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5) then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. 6) For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. 7) He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, 8) for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.”
Blessings‼️
Praying for God’s touch and complete healing of your body. (And most of all for our country)
Desr Senator Langford,
I’m asking the Lord Jesus to uphold you with His Mighty Hand & keep you in His Strength, Power & Protection, you your family & loved ones.
May you always be the Salt & Light needed in Washington, preserving & extending the Righteousness our nation so desperately needs.
Thank you for your faithful service,
In The Name Above All names,
Jesus Christ The Lord,
King of kings,
before Whom I gladly & humbly bow now,
Amen
Your faithfulness to God will not go unnoticed by Him. I belong to a small prayer group who has prayed together for our nation and its leaders every week for 10 years. We ask for God’s Word to prevail in every circumstance and consider it a blessing to know that we have believers like you, Senator Lankford, in our nation’s capitol.
Thank for that boldness spoken of in Proverbs 28:1. Jesus tells us that when we do not deny Him before men we will not be denied before our Father in heaven. You are being that salt and light in our nations capital as our godly forefathers were in their generation. No weapon formed against you will prosper. Again, thank you for answering the call to serve this nation. As did William Wilberforce, You chose to serve this nation using your faith.
Senator Lankford, May the good Lord keep you under the shadow of His wings daily and may He enlighten you daily with His Wisdom and embrace you with His strength. May you daily be a Light in the darkness of those you encounter. May the Lord bless and keep you and His Light shine upon you. Thank you for being a blessing to many.
It’s so interesting to watch God work. He has you strategically placed right where He wants you, on Capitol Hill, I’m sure as a result of the prayers of many intercessors in obedience to Him. May God continue to bless you and use you in a mighty way as you remain obedient to His calling. How you are so needed in the corrupt world of politics and power. Thank you for your boldness and your commitment and your courage.
Dear Senator Langford, we are thankful for all you do as a God-appointed leader in our nation! Thank you for your diligence of faith & passion for Jesus Christ our Lord!❤️ May God’s goodness and protection continue to be upon you and your family. May He provide you with His unshakable strength and power to daily walk in your shoes. We are so thankful for you! Amen! Amen!
PS…Opie Taylor was awesome! ♂️
Praying Senator Lankford, that God continue to work in and through you
in a mighty way to do His will for our country. We know that there is great power
in prayer, so we continue to pray for you as you serve where God has placed you.
We declare God’s favor will abound in you as you continue to stand boldly for the Lord. God will greatly multiply yougr efforts and many will humble themselves before God. Continue to be a bright light for Christ. You will draw in many lost who will change their ways. Any one can say they are a Christian, but only the redeemed can walk the path our Savior lays before them. Blessings upon you, you office and your family as you continue your Godly choices and lifestyle. Amen
You are the Esther of the Old Testament. I am honored to have met you at the many Falls Creek events. May God richly bless you and give you words and scripture AND the fierce determination to do the right thing even whe people don’t agree. I pray for your health, your family, and for the spiritual warfare around you. In Jesus name.
Thank you for shining your light! Washington DC needs more Godly people.I pray for you to remain strong and keep your eyes upon Jesus- don’t let the media and this world get you down! Onward Christian soldiers!
God Bless America

I am so blessed to hear that you are a servant of the most high God, and that you’re letting your light shine before men! It can be so very discouraging when we see so many leaders of our great country opposed to the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, but my hope is always renewed when I hear of people like you who are making a difference. God bless you! We will keep you in our prayers!
God’s blessings upon you, Senator Lankford.
My prayer partners and I are praying for you,today, that God’s wisdom and strength
rest upon your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
