Amen.
SCOTS, what hae wi’ Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie!
Now’s the day, and now’s the hour;
See the front o’ battle lour;
See approach proud Edward’s power —
Chains and slaverie!
Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward’s grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee!
Wha, for Scotland’s King and Law,
Freedom’s sword will strongly draw,
Free-man stand, or Free-man fa’,
Let him on wi’ me!
By Oppression’s woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We sill drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty’s in every blow!
Let us do or die!
~Robert Burns, madman with a fountain pen
Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Hebrews 12: 12-13, RSV
Lord, in the task before us,
We ask your blessing.
Lord give us strength.
Lord, in the task before us,
We ask your wisdom.
Lord, enlighten our minds.
Lord, in the task before us,
We ask you guidance.
Lord, make clear our ways.
Give us who love you the heart and determination to do the right thing this election cycle, lifting up those who need your light, standing up when called to aid, and finding the right leader amongst all the choices, dark and light. For your name, for your glory, for your truth! With your help, O Lord, may we have the determination to make our land the shining city on the hill, beacon of what you would have a nation to be.
In the name of Jesus, I ask this of you, O Father!
Amen.
Amen.
Bringing my Prayer Over from the Pray for President Bush Thread:
Our Gracious Savior,
We Come Before You to Lift High Your Name, Glorifying our Master Who Gave us New Life. We Praise, Adore, and Worship You, Lord, Honoring You as Creation's Mighty King. Be Exalted and Reverenced, Great God, in the Lives of Your Dearly-Loved Lambs!
We Bring Before You our Brother-President, Pleading that he will Radiate Your Love. Fill him with Thy Goodness, O God, Producing Fruit to the Glory of the King. May Christ be his All-in-All, Helping him to Walk in Your Grace. May the Loveliness of Jesus Flow from his Heart, Drawing Many to Your Saving Embrace.
We Pray for Your Care of our Troops, that You would Guard them, and Give them Your Strength. Grant them Great, Awesome Victories, Giving Yourself the Glory and the Praise. Keep them Safe in Your Hand, Your Spirit Dwelling with them, through Your Name.
We Repent before Thee as a Nation, Pleading for a Renewal, through Grace. Move among all Sinners, Great Lord, Gifting them with Sweet Spiritual Life. Return our Nation to Godly Paths, for the Sake of our Founders, for the Sake of their Prayers. Be Glorified in the Salvation of Sinners, Showing Yourself So Mighty to Save.
Bless Every King's child who Comes Here to Pray, Dear Abba-Father, our Loving, Great King. Be Magnified Forever, as we Pray in our Jesus' Name, amen.

Dear Knitting,
Thank you so much for this thread. Surely the Lord has ordered you to do this. Yeserday I went to our church to pray b/c of Nat’l day of Prayer and was very reminded of the necessity of the man of God’s choosing being at the helm of state in these troubled times.
Now I join you in prayer:
Most gracious Heavenly Father,
Please forgive us, Your people, for our sins. Our selfishness. Our greed and hardness of heart. Blessed Holy Sprit, help us to turn toward You and to seek Your Face for in this our land shall be healed. In these times of trouble and division, we beseach You grant us a president with a heart to do Your Will. A president who will honor You and the office to which he shall swear. And, Father, help us to be a people worthy of such a leader.
In Christ Jesus matchless Name,
Amen.
Freind, kindly add me to your ping list.
Regards, Kate

Thanks for the ping. I’ve been praying for Duncan Hunter and his family. One prayer has already been answered, that his son would return from Iraq. God is faithful.

I haven't read all this yet, but looks like might be good reading.
Prayers for Fred and our blessed country!
Definitely praying with you all.
Thank you for this thread.
I never prayed harder than during the 2004 election campaign. 2008 promises to need our prayers even more.
“Father, please forgive us for our misdeeds and inability to learn from our sins. We surrender to you today and ask you to allow Fred Thompson to win the SC primary and go on to nurse this nation back to health in your name, Amen.”
Thank you, and Amen!
