We come before You once again, lifting up our voices in praise to You, grateful for Your boundless mercy. We confess our sins, O Lord, and thank You for Your eternal love, great enough to sacrifice Your only begotten Son to pay the price for our transgressions. Because of Him, we have the assurance of our salvation and we can have fellowship with You, our Creator. Lord, we can never repay a debt so great but we humbly offer our lives to You, asking You to mould us into the persons You would have us be that we might play a small part in expanding Your Kingdom here on earth.
Lord, we continue in prayer for our President. We are grateful that today's incident was a false alarm but it has reminded us vividly that he has many enemies and is in constant danger. Hold him close to Your heart, O Lord, and protect him from those who wish him harm. Place Your wisdom within him that he may lead our nation according to Your will. Fill him with courage, patience, discernment, steadfastness, and love as he fulfills the duties set before him. We thank You for our First Lady, a woman of extraordinary grace and inner beauty whose radiance reflects her love for You.
Father, our military are always in our hearts and we know that they are always under Your watchful care. We pray for their safety and for their success in finding those who seek to destroy the newly-won freedom in parts of the world that have known only brutal oppression for generations. Lord, You know where the enemy lurks; reveal his hiding places to those who desire to bring peace.
Lord, there is a great spiritual battle waging in our nation and the current arena is in politics. There are those who do not have right on their side so they participate in character destruction and in the obstruction of our governmental processes. Though we can rant with words, only You can change hearts. We plead with You to move in our nation that civil discourse may return. Let us return to a time when issues are debated and not personalities and when those who govern seek the best interest of the governed rather than their own power and control. Forgive us, O Lord, and redeem our people so that our nation once again honors Your commmandments and seeks to please You. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
Amen to your prayer, kayak! Thank you for leading us tonight.
Agreeing with all your Petitions, in the Name of our Christ!
Amen, Kayak.
Yes, Lord, grant our President sufficient grace for all that he faces. Give him more protection for more danger, more truth for more lies, more health for more physical attacks, more wisdom for more deceit, more love that never fails for more hatred, more faith for more fears.
You are able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think and we are grateful.
In the name of our Savior, Jesus the anointed One. Amen.
