I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray that our allies in NATO would work with us to defend the Strait of Hormuz. We ask You to break all Iranian blockades in this region!
Reading Time: 2 minutes

As Operation Epic Fury progresses, gas prices have skyrocketed. The main reason for this is that Iran has effectively closed down the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint in global oil trade. Recently, however, President Trump called on NATO to defend the Strait, warning that the organization may face a “very bad” future if it refuses.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

 

From Fox News:

“It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there,” Trump told The Financial Times in an interview Sunday. “If there’s no response, or if it’s a negative response, I think it will be very bad for the future of NATO.”

Trump echoed those remarks in a press gaggle aboard Air Force One on Sunday night, returning to Washington, D.C., from a weekend at Mar-a-Lago, saying it would “be nice to have other countries police that with us, and we’ll help – we’ll work militarily.”

Trump is looking for NATO allies’ assistance in securing the oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz for the rest of the world. Trump administration officials have been repeating throughout the choking of the strait that the U.S. under Trump is a net exporter of oil and gets only a fraction of its oil from the Middle East – unlike the rest of the world, including NATO allies.

Despite his threat of a “very bad … future,” the President is reportedly optimistic that NATO will help. He told reporters, “We are talking to other countries about working with us about the policing of the strait, and I think we’re getting a good response.”

President Trump has been laser-focused on holiday NATO accountable during his second term. Earlier, he pressured the organization into spending 5% of GDP in defense spending, as Fox notes. This call to defend the Strait of Hormuz is just another way that the President is working to hold large international organizations accountable.

Let’s pray for the protection of the Strait, as well as for an end to Iranian aggression!

Our Heavenly Father. President Trump is trying to get help from NATO to help open
up the Strait of Hormuz but a lot of them are not willing to help out. Iran is being it’s
usual bully self and trying to cause an economic collapse by closing up the Strait so
no one can get any oil. It makes no sense because a lot of Countries depend on oil
from Iran to survive. And Iran makes their money from the oil that is given to them.

I just lift up President Trump and ask that you give him Godly wisdom and discernment
in knowing how to deal with this very hectic situation that could turn into a huge crisis
if it is not dealt with promptly.

I thank you for all the Navy and Air Force and IDF Soldiers from Israel that are fighting
this War to protect the World from Iran who wants to destroy America and Israel.
People don’t get that President Trump decided to take action when he found out
that Iran had enough uranium to build 11 nuclear bombs and would not be afraid
to use them on America, Israel and other Countries as well.

Lord you have had your hand in this War since February 28th and a lot of precision
strikes that have been made on all the Iranian Navy, Air Force, ballistic missile and drone
buildings and the top Iranian leaders, including the Ayatollah.

There are a lot of underground Christians in Iran who would love to have a new regime
take over and not be subjected to the Islamic control over their daily lives and living in
constant fear and oppression. Lord, you are in control and already know the outcome
of this War. In YOU WE TRUST. We PRAY FOR PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.

In Jesus Name,
Amen and Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, none of what is happening centered around Iran catches you by surprise because you know all things. I ask you to intervene and bring an end to this Iranian aggression. I also ask you to break all Uranian blockades.

Father I discern that our allies? are in fact not our allies. That as many in congress do not represent the people. Therefore I ask that you seperate the wheat and the chalf. The goats from the sheep. That there be no opposition in the heavens and the earth to the goodness of your will. That all spiritual realms flourish in unity as You designed it. That the head of the snake be quickly beheaded, That the liars and wolf’s in sheep clothing be removed from. power, Evil alliances be dismantled. That Your children recieve, and accept all of the portion You have assigned for them to soar and occupy the mountains You have freely given to them from birth. That all evil forces that have attached like a ball and chain be broken immediately as they were decieved into wrong thinking. Chains be broken right now in the power of Yeshuas name in all the authority as a Kingdom ruler and Child of the Living God. We live by faith, and we take our future into the authority of our Father who is in heaven, and proclaim health, wealth, Joy Wisdom and PEACE. Amen

    I agree with you, Joann. I join with you in praying for discernment, wisdom, and truth. I pray that God will remove the wolves in sheep’s clothing from places of power and decision. Separate the wheat from the chaff and the goats from the sheep. Thank you, God for all wisdom and power are yours. May the chains be broken right now in the power of Yeshua’s holy name and in all authority as Kingdom ruler and only begotten child of God Almighty, the only true, living, holy God. We thank you that your will will be done and we give you all praise, glory, honor and worship. Amen

SUGGESTION!!! HAVE TRUMP ISSUE A TEMPORARY E.O. TO HAVE ALL AMERICAN OIL PRODUCTION THAT GOES TO OUR REFINERIES FOR OUR USE BE KEPT AT $65.00 A BARREL!!! WHAT IS EXPORTED CAN BE WHATEVER THE STOCK PRICE IS! NO REASON FOR OUR OIL TO BE SOLD INTERNALLY AT INTERNATIONAL PRICING!! ONCE THE IRAN COMPAIGN IS OVER AND THE INTERNATIONAL PRICING COMES DOWN TO $65.00, THEN THE E.O. CAN BE RESENDED!!!

I totally support Trump and Netanyahu in this War. We have a Red /Green , Marxist/Islamist alliance hell bent on taking control of the USA, and destroying Israel. They have already gained Political control of New York City, our financial Capital. They have plans to build hundreds if not thousands of Mosques in the USA and Canada. They have spiritual and financial ties with Iran and China which we are physically at war with in Iran. The Jezebel Political spirit of the far Left seeks to protect them here inside the USA. Therefore it is definitely in our interest to decisively defeat the IRGC and seek Regime Change in Iran. Trump understands that the time to kill a Cobra threatening your family is when it’s small, not huge. In my opinion, we MUST fight and win this war both spiritually and physically. We MUST prevail in prayer over Islam, Marxism, and Jezebel. We have the authority to make Yeshua’s enemies His footstool, let’s use the keys of the Kingdom and WIN. Psalm 110, Matthew 16.

We need to pray that President Trump get back to saving our nation from China buying up a lot of our farm land and homes as well as Islamism’s asre buying up our property. China is using a lot of dummy corporations which is illegal. Islamism’s are making it known that the United States is their country.
This needs some attention before it’s too late. I am greatful for all President Trump has and is doing. But if not too careful our land will be taken away from us without us even knowing it.
Please make this a priority and that President Trump would listen to the Holy Spirit.

Hopefully, the nations comprising NATO will be willing to engage in protecting the Strait of Hormuz. I give President Trump credit in trying to get the NATO nations to help out with doing this. Lord Jesus, I pray that You will make a way for this effort to take place soon. This war needs to end ASAP. Keeping this Strait open is vital to the global economy. May Your will prevail in this endeavor. Thank You Jesus.

    I’ll join you in that prayer and I can hardly wait to see God’s hand at work. He is soooo Good. He said if we ask, He promised to answer. 2 Chron. 7:14

    I will pray all day as I go about my work. God will hear us when we’re asking and honestly trying to follow His promises.

Father, I ask that those countries with interests in that area would understand how the world has changed, and, therefore, provide security protection for ships passing through that strait. The U.N. should declare that the strait does not belong to any country at its narrowest point, but rather is international waters. Finally, Father, we ask that You to halt the evil intentions of this Iranian regime. Stop Russia and China from supplying this regime with money and weapons. Bring a rapid resolution to the problem of shipping through this strait. May all ships pass peacably. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
