The Palmist expresses so well the thoughts that are in our hearts. Lord, we are nothing but You are Everything. You are our Creator, the Author of our faith, our Sustainer and Redeemer, our Shield, our Comforter, our Master, and so much more. Your mercy knows no bounds and Your truth is everlasting. We praise You and worship You and You alone.
Father, our President is a man who relishes life and the challenges it presents. He carries heavy burdens and yet, because You are the Foundation of his life, he is joyful and at peace yet compassionate and concerned. Let him stay focused on the Cross so that he remains aware that You are the Source of strength and wisdom in his life. Bless him with all the qualities that he needs to fulfill the duties set before him. Lord, we are blessed not only to have a man of faith as President but also to have a lovely First Lady who is the essence of grace and class. Let their marriage grow ever stronger and be a blessing and a haven for them both. Watch over them and keep them safe from all harm as they serve both our nation and You, their Lord.
Father, we thank You for our men and women in uniform. Their courage and sacrifice is an inspiration to us all. Be their Defender; give them cunning and wisdom in fighting an enemy who wishes to destroy us all. Hold them and their families in the palm of Your hand while they are absent one from another.
Lord, the Paalmist speaks of Your truth. How much an awareness is needed in our nation that Your truth is unbending and constant; that Your commandments are for us today as they were for Moses and the children of Israel; that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. There are elements in our society that want to defame Your Name rather than keep it holy; who seek ways to rationalize killing; who covet what others have gained through Your blessing and their own hard work; who flaunt all Your commandments. Father, give Your children the boldness and courage to speak up on Your behalf and to stand for Your truth that Your will might be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Send Your Holy Spirit to convict those who are unaware of their sins and to bring them to their knees before You. Revive our nation and restore in us a desire to please You and to walk the path that You have set before us. In the Name of our precious Savior, Jesus. Amen.
Let the people praise Thee, O God; let all the people praise Thee. - Psalms 67:3
Father, we ask that You surround the President and his staff with men and women who make their hearts and ears attentive to godly counsel and follow after righteousness. Cause them to be men and women of integrity. We pray that You would cause the upright to dwell in our government but that the wicked shall be cut off and treacherous rooted out of it.
Thank You, our Lord, for hearing and answering our prayers. We worship You for Your goodness, faithfulness and for being Immanuel, God with us.
In the name of Your precious Son, Jesus, amen.
