We can but agree with the eloquence of the Psalmist who speaks of Your greatness. His words express the feelings residing in the depths of our souls. Your greatness is immeasurable and Your mercy is our hope and our salvation.
Lord, we are grateful for a President and First Lady who praise Your name and look to You for help; whose love for You and for each other are a joy to behold; and whose true caring for others is reflected in their faces. We lift them up to You, asking for Your blessings to rain down upon them. Be their safe Harbor and continue to lead them through each day.
We are filled with gratitude for those who have served our nation in uniform, both in the past and currently. It is their bravery and self-sacrifice that have helped to preserve the liberties that You bestowed upon this great nation. What a privilege it is to live in a nation where such men and women voluntarily lay their very lives on the line for others. Keep Your providential eye on all those in our military and especially those who are engaged against a brutal and vicious enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Father, as we dwell on our nation's short but rich history, we are overwhelmed at the goodness you have shown to us. Yet as we see a culture of death arising; as we observe many trying to blot Your very name from public places; as we witness the degradation of our society we wonder what future generations will say about our times. Lord, we implore You to forgive us and to send Your Holy Spirit across the face of our nation, touching hearts that have gone cold and opening ears that have gone deaf to the majesty of Your Word. Rekindle in our land a desire to declare Your greatness and a longing to obey Your commandments. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Please join in prayer for our President, our troops, and our nation.
Praying in agreement with you tonight, kayak. Thank you for sharing the wonderful Psalm (one of my favorites) and for leading us in your heartfelt prayer.
Thank you for leading us so eloquently and in the Spirit of our living God. Amen to it all.
Lord, we also continue to ask for favor for your nation, Israel, in our Government. May they bless her and stand with her.
I also ask Father, for laborers to surround our President with wisdom and wise counsel. Surely, Holy Spirit, you are the Great Counselor, but I am asking for people to come forward who are motivated by You and who will provide any missing information that is necessary to make proper decisions.
Thank You, Lord, our King, for the work You are surely doing to straighten out our judiciary system. We continue to ask and believe for truth and righteousness to prevail.
We bless You for being Lord of All. In the Living God do we trust. Amen.
"May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever Amen."
