Your Name is Wonderful! Your steadfastness is an Anchor when our lives are storm-tossed; Your mercy is bountiful; Your grace is the source of our hope and our salvation. Glory to God, the Almighty!
Father, You instruct us to pray for those in authority so we lift up to You our President, a man who calls Your name and heeds Your voice. He is beset by enemies both at home and abroad who lay snares to entrap him and bring him down. Lord, deliver him from those whose intent is evil, whether they be foreign terrorists or persons in our own country who are beguiled with power, greed, and envy. Place Your wisdom in his heart and Your words in his mouth that he may serve You in his service to our nation. Bless Laura and their daughters and give them strength, patience, and peace all of their days. Protect our First Couple and keep them safe; let their marriage grow stronger day by day that it may be a refuge and a comfort for them from the bitterness and vitriol of the political world in which they dwell.
Lord, today more of our brave troops have lost their lives in battle. Reach out to their families, drawing them close to Your heart. Encourage those who fight against a vicious and desperate enemy; let our troops be filled with courage and let them know of our appreciation for their sacrifices.
Father, we see the division and discord in our nation today and are frustrated, angry, and distressed. Lord, such things come from the prince of darkness; we ask You to bind his hands. We praise You for the victory that You have won over him even as we despair of the ongoing battles we witness daily. Our desires are for truth and light to be the standards in our beloved country; our heartfelt plea is that Your will may be done on earth as it is in Heaven. In the Name of Your precious Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Please join with us in prayer, voicing your praise and your petitions to the Lord.
Heavenly Father, we come to you praying for your protection for President Bush, his family, and our military men and women. We ask for your guidance and protection for all who are serving this great country. We ask these blessings in Your Son's Precious Name, Amen.
Thank you, Kayak.
Father, Your word says that if anyone lacks wisdom that he can ask and you will give it freely. We know that our President asks for wisdom, so we agree with him and Your Word that it is liberally given to him. Show him not only your plans for our nation, but also how to accomplish those plans. Grant him the favor he needs to make those plans a success.
Father, we recognize that sometimes our prayers don't appear to be answered, but that you are pointing out weaknesses in the system so that they can be fixed. Our trust through it all is in You, Your goodness, Your grace and Your love for us.
We worship You in Spirit and Truth and bless Your holy name.
Amen.
